Arrow of Light

Eli received his arrow of light award yesterday. He worked hard to do all of his work and it was a fun morning to celebrate it with him. He also got all twenty of his webelo pins.

We are also grateful for our scout leader who helped him achieve this award. Sue headed out to Provo, Utah, today to go to the MTC. She will be serving a mission in Nauvoo, IL, for 1 1/2 years. We are excited for her, and we will miss her.

Big Man on Campus

Caleb got a section time in his last race of the regular season. That means as an 8th grader he is a high school varsity letterman. He was hoping to letter this year in the 200 IM. He swam it yesterday, and he only had .1 second to drop. He didn't make it. He later had a race in the 100 yard backstroke. His coach put him in this one half way through the season so that he would have an additional chance to letter. He made it.

YAY CALEB!

For Shanel

...and anyone else who might be interested.

Here are the pictures I told you I would take to show all of the snow. We will keep most of this around until March/April

Our mailbox. Notice the mail man's tracks, they are crooked because the mail main drives up on the snowbank.

Here is the snow at the end of our driveway. This is where we shovel it, and there is more here than other places because the snow plow pushes a bunch of the snow from the street into our driveway.
