Back to School FHE
Jodi and her family started a fun tradition that we decided to copy this year. Last Monday evening, we had a Back to School dinner followed immediately by a Back to School family home evening. Jeana made a school bus cake for our centerpiece surrounded by erasers. Audrey really loved the school books made of mini chocolate bars and cardstock. Instead of using plates, our dinner of alphabet soup, mixed fruit, and juice box was served on cafeteria trays.
The family home evening was simple. We discussed basic safety issues for Audrey to remember, and finished by everyone getting a father’s blessing (except for Jeana, who just received a normal priesthood blessing). To help get Audrey more familiar and comfortable with her school we drove over and played on the playground toys.

I hope Kate doesn’t miss Audrey too much while Audrey’s at school! Now she can have her dad and mom to herself for a while! In February, she can be the big sister and helper for her new brother, mom and her dad!!! Wow! How fun for Kate. Love you, Kate!
