Hello family...we've had a pretty good month. We celebrated Lydia's birthday last week. She had a "Wow Wow Wubzy" cake...it was really fun to make. She would look at her cake all day and every time she'd scream "It's Wow Wow!" She is growing up so fast and her vocabulary has exploded. What a joy she is to our family. In other news, we are refinancing our house. We locked into a 4.8 % interest rate...can't beat that right? We were a little disappointed in our appraisal though. We lost $40,000 in value since last February. It was very discouraging...nothing is selling here in Springfield so house prices are plummeting. Oh well, we've decided to just stay in our house for the forseeable future so I'm sure the value will go back up. Casey (and his Ward Mission Leader) just started a very aggressive missionary program in our ward. They are calling whole families to serve as missionaries --children included. They meet every Tuesday and fan out to visit every less active member in the Ward. (We have hundreds of them) Last Sunday, the Ward mission Leader presented the new program and I was the "warm up" speaker. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the very quiet stand. If you have to speak in church to get a quiet, child-free sacrament meeting, then I think it's worth it! Thanks Aunt Charlotte for wrestling with Lydia for the whole meeting. We've enjoyed getting to "chat" with you all on Facebook! Have a great month.
Happy 2nd Birthday Lydia!
