Daddy Daughter Weekend

 Our ward has a tradition of having a daddy daughter dance. We hadn't had one for a while and so when it came up this year, Allen was excited to let Jill know. She was as excited about it and decided to come down to Calgary for it. It was so fun to see how excited Allen was about it. 

When she arrived on Saturday we all went shopping. Jill has some gift cards she hadn't used so she tried to get them all used up. She found some great things: shoes for spin class that hook to the bikes as well as some beautiful clothes from Uniqlo. 

After shopping, Allen and Jill went to the party. Allen said, as usual, Jill was the life of the party - leading girls in lots of fun line dances and other songs. 

After that, of course, they went to a movie. Over the years, they've often done that after Peirce and I go to bed. Peirce and I aren't the night owls Allen and Jill are! 

It was really nice to visit with her this weekend.

Weekend With Percy

 Peirce and Michael really love to travel. Earlier this fall they went to Ireland for a couple weeks. This week they went to San Diego for a concert! While they were gone, we got to hang out with Percy. He is such a cutie. We love him. We especially love how worn out Bentley gets when Percy is here. They play almost non-stop!

Shuko

 Shuko stayed with our family for a month. She was in her 30s and had worked in Japan at an orphanage! I was always touched by how careful and kind she was. 

After living with us, she found an apartment in the SW. She hopes to get a job working as a nanny.
