After our visit with the Weilers, we spent a night at my brother Clay's house. Their girls were in school still, but Clara's favorite part was jumping on their trampoline. Lia, their three-year-old, is such a cutie pie. My favorite part was just chatting with Amie and enjoying wonderful company.

 When my brother Clay came home, he kindly played with them on the trampoline, which Clara absolutely loved.  Wish I had gotten a pic.

Faith arrived home from school, and she and Clara were found on her bunk bed playing the iPad. Clara uses iPads at school and loves them. Are they really worth it, though?

For Family Home Evening that night, Clay and Amie had planned a special lesson/activity based on Elder Quentin L. Cook's talk last year about the young woman whose purse had been found. We made juice carton coin purses--they turned out quite spiffy but definitely required adult help.

 When we went to Bryan and Emily's house the next day, Clara and Grace opened a beauty spa (grace a Fancy Nancy). Grace painted my toenails, Clara did my hair, and Grace painted Emily's fingernails. They each gave me and Emily a hand massage with lotion. Ooh la la!

These kids got along well, and it filled my heart with joy. Grace and Clara wanted to be matching, so I did their hair the same way and Grace found a similar outfit. Poor Clay was a bit excluded, but he bore it well and was a great sport.

And then we went to Fernbank and the Varsity! To be continued...
