It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

Improvements

Meghan's favorite event: Family Dinners with the cousins. (Meghan is holding Nora while Brianna chokes Mallory and Cameron hangs with Grant)
Eliza, Meghan and Mally enjoy a dessert of ice cream sundays. (Could this be why she likes family dinners.......no vegetable juice, or green smoothies?)
It was Grant's birthday, and Cameron chose "Speed Racer". The two boys crept off to the house to play with the car. Cameron swears that he was just helping Grant with all the twist ties! Sure, Cam!
Did we ever think that Meghan would have the ability to play frisbee with her Dad? Her balance has improvement dramatically......notice we have removed the brace from her leg. The brace was helping her to lift up her left toe but it was causing other ankle/calf muscles to atrophy.
Okay, so when we do a little too much, there's nothing better than a mid-day nap in our chair!
Sunday nights are the perfect time for family games. Here's an ongoing tournament of 3-D Blokus. It usually turns out to be a competition between the 3 kids--each one of them has engineering aspirations.
While we are playing games, Bandit is ripping apart his toy. DON'T LOOK SO INNOCENT BUSTER!
Meghan and Riley have been planning this day for 6 months: Opening day for Twilight's Eclipse. Meghan is Team Edward and Riley is Team Jacob so there's no competition.
Meghan and her friend Lauren Scanio sell pizza for the Clarence Swim Team at Day in the Park on July 3rd.
July 4th party at our house. Meghan is thrilled to take Baby Oliver into the water. Oliver's mom is close by because Meghan is still only using her right hand.
More Baby Oliver....I think that he was the highlight of the party for Meghan.

  4. Megal,
    Im saddened to see that u are team Edward. TEAM JACOB!!!! Here are the three reasons you should switch to team Jacob; Can you pet Edward?!? I DONT THINK SO!!!! Does Jacob threaten your life on a daily basis?!? NNOOO!!! And who is hotter, Jacob or Edward? JACOB, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! And Scanio! ECLIPSE IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!!!

    On a happier note, my cousin is getting married this weekend. I'm not doing anything in the wedding cause I'm too old but I'm going and I gotta wear a dress, yhata yhata, dance, blah blah blah and polka? My family is polish like that. My mom was trying to teach my how to polka the other day in the kitchen.... Let's just say I'm not good at it...... The wedding is in the finger lakes at a winery near Seneca lake. Since Me, Jenna and my two cousins can't drink they are having root beer tasting for us. Whipee.

    One last thing. You should answer your phone!!!
    That is all.
