What's Happening April 18

I thought this might be a good way to keep everyone updated on "life with crapa (as Larkin affectionately refers to grandpa) and grandma" as well as life in the "burg" with Glenn and Mary Ann.

You'll be happy to know that since Stephen and I are the official caretakers that we are also the most unpopular. Last week, Grandpa accused me of having taken everything he owns; including, but not limited to, his ranch. No one ever told me he had a 'ranch'. Have you guys been holding out on me? Then last night he asked me what I was going to do about the college closing. I tried to ignore the question, but grandma continues to try to correct him so they got into a little spat about whether or not the college was on its way out. They claimed that Stephen has not been over to visit for 2 days and wondered if he was out of town. It seems to me that they relish his visits more than mine, which tells you just how far 'OFF' they really are.

Keith and Elizabeth arrived this last weekend for school. They are both living at the same apt complex and sharing a pickup. Reminds me of the days when Joe, Laurel, and me all lived at the University Villa. Those were the days!!!!!! Keith had a great mission it sounds like and although he's not sure about being back here in Rexburg, we're sure it's the right place to be and I'm equally sure that Joey, Andy, and Adam can all relate with how he is feeling right now. Maybe you should drop him a line and let him know that everything will turn out for the best.

Glenn and I are getting ready to spend this next week tending Ann Marie's 4 children while she and Michael do church service in Ecuador. Michael has been brushing up on his Spanish and Ann Marie is not sure if it's worth it some days. I'm sure it will be a great experience and that Michael will be a superb teacher. New born resuscitation training is one of President Hinckley's 5 humanitarian initiatives and that is what they'll be working on. I have no doubt that they'll have fun, but I'm a little worried about us - I hope we survive 9 days with 4 children age 4 and under!!!!!
