What a joy it was to have extra family in town for Casey's "release day" on Sunday. Andie and Layne popped into town on business. The day was so much more special with them in the congregation. After church, we went to visit Grandma Bea. Do you know that she's 99???? It's truly remarkable. We stayed for about an hour and then had a BBQ at the Walburger home. By the end of the day, Casey was so drained, I could just see his energy leaving him. Oh how we love our family!!
Grandma was pretty out of it but her hand "pulsed" in Andie's hand to the beat of the music.
Charlotte and Truett were two peas in a pod this weekend. They are growing up so fast!!
While we sang, the littler cousins ran around the empty room. They did give Grandma Bea lots of hugs though.
I think this picture is interesting. Casey cleaned out the Bishop's office and this was what he brought home. After 5 years of living in that office, he could fit everything into a smallish box and the office was ready for the next Bishop. I am amazed at how orderly these transitions are. Casey is swamped with his new calling already. He's the main speaker up at "Sky Camp" for the priests this Friday and then he is leading a one hour training session for Bishoprics and YM leaders next Tuesday. The Lord doesn't let us rest for very long does He?
Here is our last week!
I'm glad that Casey has a new calling right away. :) I think that while we might like to "rest," the truth is, we're happiest and most at peace when we are "anxiously engaged in a good cause." You guys are my heroes! (And I mean that!)
