I love that picture of you and Christopher. So precious. Looks like it was a fun easter at your house!!

I like your green jacket. But am confused why there are fall leaves on the ground in the spring!
Kelly said…
Heidi, it's because our backyard has not been landscaped and just blends in with the greenbelt/woods behind our house. So those leaves are the ground covering, basically year round. We'll add grass after the pool is in.

Looks like you had a fun time for Easter! Ours was nice, but I had a TON of homework, so I had to be somewhat antisocial and finish it while Grandma and Grandpa were over.

I love the splash of green in your pictures. You guys are a good looking family! Fun that you could have friends from the ward share your Easter celebration. It looks like you had a good time. We miss seeing you every week!

That is a good family picture. I really liked your green jacket and shoes at church!
The picture of you in the apron with your son - I can almost taste the apple pie, seriously. So cute. What a fun gathering; I love the apples to apples game and so do my kids. And I LOVE the red robin/austin picture. You're so clever. :)

What a darling family! And I'm thinking that those strawberry cups that Lindsay is holding are looking quite scrumptious!

You are so festive. I love it. I like your family photos and how exciting that you had so many guests. I am sure that was a fun game of apples to apples. I feel like in our house we always get a little out of hand in that game.

Fabulous picture of you and Christopher. I loved the bird picture too, it is so pretty. I think I will have Morgan paint it. She painted me a scissor tailed fly catcher over the weekend and I told her it would be neat to have a series of bird pictures from her.

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
