We have had tons of fun. School is going well. The kids are making friends slowly, because of living in the country, but have had a few places to meet people. I met a family when Adam had a pinewood derby race, and the mom told me about activities some of her friends do. They planned to have a egg hunt between sessions of General conference on Saturday.

We went and Johnny thought it was the biggest party he has ever had for his birthday. His birthday pictures will come later. Johnny had a fun birthday and thank you for the calls. He loves phone calls and loves getting mail. Five is the birthday where he definitely wants to milk the day for birthday presents. As soon as he woke up he was asking when we would give him presents. We made him wait till after lunch to give them to him. He was patient. We had fun and love the fun of Easter and birthdays.

Thank you all who have written and sent notes. It sure has made my day. The notes the ward ladies sent made me cry happy tears and I really appreciate the thought that was put into those notes. Thank you friends I miss you too.

Joe has gone in a helicopter a couple of times for work looking at the lines and has fun doing it. What an experience!

A family in the ward brought us a load of wood and we are so greatful. I know it is much warmer than in Indiana but we use only the wood to heat the house. Thank you.
