28 April 2013 - Emily's Birthday

Monday was Emily's birthday.  She's 11!  It's hard to believe time goes by so fast.  Thank you to those who sent gifts, cards, or called to wish her a happy birthday.

Since we'd had birthday cake the day before, this time we opted for birthday cupcakes.

On Saturday, we had a huge multi-stake day of service.  Our project was at Raccoon Creek State Park.  They had a bunch of trees that had come down over the winter, several blocking hiking trails.  I was pleased because it gave me a good excuse to break out the chainsaw and go to town.

Madeline and Jessica were excellent helpers, hauling and stacking the hundreds of logs we cut in about four hours.  The girls were great workers.

Aunt Jennifer was here too, and she and Joanne stayed home with Emily to get a jump on boxing up all our stuff for our upcoming move.

Joanne finished another project this week.  She made this quilt and donated it to Project Linus.
