Our April 2009

I thought I'd better get caught up on my blogging. Our April has been eventful. I love sharing my birthday month with my daddy. Happy Birthday again to Dad, Archie B. Thanks to all of you that sent cards and phone wishes to me. I enjoyed the evening with a dinner out with Bruce and some of our Utah kids. My friends at work took me out to lunch a couple of times.

The Choir had our yearly retirements and a couple of ladies decorated the dress lockers of the retiring altos. This is the row where I dress and there were quite a few leaving us. Eileen Gardner is a friend who retired.
Here are a couple of pictures I thought were pretty funny from Sarah. She sent a Christmas gift to Diane (a purse, necklace and ring) with a letter and CD of pictures to Bruce and I. There was also a bunch of candies from Ukraine that are about gone now. An Elder returning home last November was suppose to bring it to us before Christmas but we just barely got it because his family moved to Hawaii and he's been busy with getting into school at Utah Valley University, etc. I tried to contact him a number of times but we had a hard time getting together. Thank you Sarah, if you are reading this. We enjoy everything you sent and Diane loves it too.
Sister Howard can keep up with those tough Elders. "URRRRRR!"

On Wednesdays I go to Andy and Randie's apartment in West Haven where they live now with Raidon and I get to babysit. He is a joy and I can't resist taking a few pictures once in awhile. We play and I feed him. Raidon loves his "na-na's" and has a talent for slurping up noodles as you can see in the video below. We're so happy for Shane and Shila and their new baby. Hope everyone has a great May! Jeri

I enjoyed watching Raidon eating his noodles. But I loved hearing your voice, Jeri as you watched him. It's the same tone all the Garrard's sound like when we talk to our babies!
The oldie picture of you and Dad is wonderful. Did you make copies of Mom and Dad's old photos?! I would love to get some too. I'm sure we would all love copies. I asked Kathy if she was going to make some, I would be happy to pay for mine.
I'm glad you had a nice BDay.

Susan, thanks for commenting. One day quite a long time ago, I took pictures of some of the old ones Mom and Dad had. They aren't letting go of them. But anytime you see one you like, you can always just right click on it and save it to your own picture files. Love you, Jeri
