Adventures while the big kids were at FSY

David Ross Memorial and Garden

I spent the afternoon walking and reading in this garden near Purdue.  Zachary, Eric, and Wendy were attending FSY and I was filling time between dropping them off and giving Wendy her growth hormone shot.  

A couple of days later Sabrina, Hyrum and I spent the day in Lafayette before we visited Wendy that evening.  We swam at Prophetstown State Park, and visited the Lafayette Zoo.

 

Grandparents Visit

Grandma and Grandpa Schwieder came and spent a week with us over the 4th of July.  We visited the Indiana Dunes, watched fireworks, went to the Zoo and spent quality time with one another.  The only glitch was forgetting sunscreen on Sabrina's back and she got a horrible sunburn.

June Birthdays

Eric's birthday fell when he was at Priesthood Encampment, so we celebrated as a family when he arrived back home.  He had a few friends come over and game with him to celebrate as well.  Eric continues to do well at all he puts his mind to.  He is a responsible young man.  He is working toward getting his driver's license.

Wendy had fun birthday and enjoyed a papering party with her friends the following week.  This year has been a good one for Wendy.  She has an amazing group of friends which support and help her.  She loved her teachers, especially Ms Calabria and Mr Woyhas.  She began taking growth hormones and does not like the shots, but is getting better at allowing them to be given.  It helps that she has already grown 2 inches since April.

 

Date Nights

Kyle and I were able to attend a few performances, which is a bit unusual for us.  We attended the play Clue and The Piano Guys Concert.  Clue was a wonderfully done and before it began we got to walk around Indy.  The Piano Guys was a great concert and felt more like a fireside.  They shared their testimonies and their love for music.
