This picture is the "second half" of our kids. Kimberly was taking the picture, and Amanda was at work! More and more, this is what our family is looking like as the girls get older!I am excited about this blog site! I loved it when we were being good about our email updates, but we all fell off the wagon! This will be fun to see the pictures.
Sounds like everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving last week. We actually had Thanksgiving twice, because on Thursday ate turkey with the Valentines in Brigham City, and Friday we ate turkey with the Folkmans here at our house. The older I get, the more I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the atmosphere of relaxing and spending time with family.
Ethan is finally potty trained! He tells me everyday, "Mom, I love you. You're so beautiful!" If you ask him his name he will tell you it is: "Ethan Bob Robert Harry Larry Gary Valentine" (it's really Ethan Robert Valentine).
Anna was recently named "Student of the Month" and gets to have lunch with the Mayor and ride in a firetruck next week.
Right now we are working hard to get ready for our piano recital that is coming up on December 9th. Four of the five kids are performing - Anna, Spencer, Kimberly, and Amanda. Ethan will probably be ready to start next year -- he already knows where "middle C" is.
Amanda spent the summer working at Lagoon, and we are all glad it's over!
Since the last time we sent a family update, I (Linda) became the Young Women President in our ward, and am finally feeling a bit more comfortable in the shoes. It is definitely a busy, but rewarding calling.
We are very happy to hear about the wedding... congratulations, Jake!
Emma is so adorable! Can't wait to see more pictures!
Love you all!
Linda, Stephen, Amanda Kimberly, Spencer, Anna, and Ethan
