Awards

At 5th grade graduation Connor and Andrew were both awarded the special awards.  They were so pleased and as were their parents.

5th Grade Graduation

 For 5th Grade Lily was selected to pass out programs as she was dressed up and looked lovely.  Her smile was priceless.

The boys played their instruments as the class marched into the cafeteria.

Movie night in the garage

During Kenneth and Heidi's visit to the farm we decided to do a movie night in the garage.  It was complete with popcorn and drinks.  It was a lot of fun and because we did it in the garage no mosquitoes. 

Scouters

Look at these cute scouters.  Sunday April 30th, 2017 we had a Scout Court of Honor and the boys got lots of awards they had earned.  They look so handsome in there uniforms!

 Joseph mentioned that we don't take enough pictures of those that we live with.  I agree.  Here are some of the random crowd shots.

Karen's visit

I can't believe that I didn't take more pictures.  Karen, Beth, and Susie visited the end of March.  They were a breath of fresh air as we maneuvered through the end of winter.  They surprised my parents and the Baldauf clan in Delhi.  It was so nice to see them and I was reminded again of how special family is.  While here we invited Peggy and Paulette and Pat for dinner.  It was lovely to spend time with them too.  Karen please come back....we loved spending time with you!

Grandma and Grandpa Ward

We had a terrific visit with Grandma and Grandpa Ward.  We kept them busy playing games and seeing the sights.  We got to do a session in the Philadelphia temple and stopped at the Priesthood restoration sight in Susquehanna.  We were all sad to see them leave.

The kids are still young enough to love trick or treating, and while it's out of order I wanted to include these pictures as I chronicle our adventures.

Elders

One of our favorite Elders - Elder Long was transfered recently. We miss him.  He was so kind to our kiddos.  It is fun to have people in our lives that we love.  We wish him well in the north country!
