Dear Friends and Family,

This week has been focused on deep cleaning and orginizing.

So far I have gotten through all of our bathroom things, the kitchen, the root celer, the closet and now I’m on to dejunking our book collection. The girls have been great to help out. Arywen and Jordan got all the books out from under the yurt. Look out world here I come!!! The truth be told is that for a while I had sort of given up on cleaning and thinking that I could make any difference in life. But we have turned a page and now things are shaping up one step at a time.

We also had the missionaries over on Thursday. Elder Rather is quite funny and I got a great picture of him and Eomear playing around with orange peels.

The round window is the dome in the little yurt. It is the view I have when I look up when I am nursing Liliwen.

Sometimes people ask what we bath in. So I took a picture and now you get it in full color. We use a stock tank that we put in front of the stove. We use the sink to fill buckets then dump the water into the stock tank. And if you are wondering, yes the water is quite hot and deep. I get better baths here then I do any time we travel and have an AirBnB. Liliwen loves bath time. And as you can see from the picture she is all ready to dive in and enjoy a good bath.

My husband was wonderful and brought me home flowers and chocolate Saturday.

But what is even better is when he kisses me :- Yes, being married is very special. I hope that one day our children will all find good mates. With 6 kids I think we have our share of weddings.

Untill next week cheers,

Heather
