Special family events in January include attending the ordination of grandson, Bryson Vance, as a Deacon on Sunday, Jan 5th. This made it possible for us to have a family temple baptismal session with Bryson and Daisy who attended for the first time, along with Sydney, Julia & Clark. Gary did all the baptizing, with each of the teens having an opportunity to be a witness, as well as Ondalynn, Vivienne, and myself. This was a first time for all of us. It was a choice experience to be in the temple with our grandchildren. What joy we have in our posterity.
We celebrated our 45th Wedding Anniversary on January 16th. We wanted to do something to honor our children on our anniversary for their goodness. We decided to put together a timeline of our lives. It was so interesting to see how our timelines merged together when we were married and remember the highlights of our 45 years together. This ended up being a much bigger project than we expected, but it was a joy to work on together. We added pictures to some of the events. In the process, we were reminded of the many tender mercies that the Lord has poured out upon us over the years.
Crismon was asked to speak at the Missionary Zone Conference this week. He stays in touch with the missionaries and is a great support to them.
Daisy (Tumbling) and Kaeley (Ballet) performed in the Winter Dance Program at Mt. Hood College put on by the Dance Academy that they are part of. They are both so flexible and graceful. It was fun cheering for them. Clark was set apart as the 2nd Counselor in his Deacon’s Quorum. We love having these good children in our home. Sunday, the 26th, we gathered to celebrate Clark’s 13th birthday. Emily has many good friends in her ward. They put on a lovely baby shower for her.
