This is Chris. It's been a while since I've done a post, but things have been crazy with a capital C. Work has been keeping me busy, and working with the young men has been fun. Time has been going fast.
This week I got Wednesday off early, and was able to help Darlene with Jordon and help get some Thanksgiving dinner things ready. Thursday was wonderful with the final preparations for the get together that evening. We got to see the Bennions, Anguianos, a few family members from John's side, the missionaries, and Mom and Dad. Boy, was that a big party! Everyone seemed to have a great time. Darlene and I ducked out pretty early to get Jordon to sleep on time, but Thursday was a day full of happiness and cheer.
Friday Darlene and Jordon started feeling ill and that morning I braved the dreaded "Black Friday" to get some good deals. Most of the stuff we got was practical stuff, with a hint of fun stuff. I can't say what we got since Santa hasn't come to deliver the presents yet! hehehe. The day I spent helping Darlene with Jordon and preparing what food they seemed to like. Getting the right foods for sick people can be a task on it's own!
Saturday Dad came over to help me put up the rest of the dry wall on the garage ceiling. Oh yeah, for those that haven't heard. The garage ceiling finally lost the ghost and dropped to the ground. Due to some long legged lumuckes walking around on in the attic and time wearing away the drywall, the ceiling came crashing down about a month ago while Darlene and Jordon were having a lovely Breakfast. The week before some guys from the Elder's Quoram were kind enough to work with me to do most of the work and Dad and I did some trouble spots that I needed he's experience to avoid major "flaws" in the project. Thank goodness for a wonderful hard working Dad. He even hit his thumb with his big hammer, and didn't cuss once. I count myself blessed to have such great parents. Oh yeah, and since Darlene and Jordon were going through some bad illnesses, Mom was a saint and took care of Jordon for most of the day while Darlene got some much needed rest. Thank you Mom!
Today Darlene and Jordon were able to take a nap before church, but still stayed home since the flu was still pretty strong and they needed some more recuperation. I was able to help out with the primary and then go to the youth combined third hour and still ring the final two bells to help the teachers know when to end their classes.
Boy what a holiday. Everyone is feeling much better, and Jordon LOVES pedialyte. Anything to keep our jolly little buddy hydrated.
We hope everyone is doing well and healthy.
Chris, Darlene, and jolly Jordon
P.S. Here are some pictures of the current status of the garage. Now I've got a taping and bedding job to do. Then painting the "sixteenth chapel" ceiling. Thankfully the big stuff is done and over with. Thanks Dad, Malcom Mason, David Buck, Jim Hayes, and Dale Cheatham!
