Our Week...

YIKES!!!

I thought this was a fun shot of "the Girls" hanging out on the couch.

We are all home and slowly getting back into normal routines. It was great to have Les's mom here with us. We nicknamed her Cinderella. Thanks to Kevin and family and Erik and family for stopping by. It was fun to see all the cousins playing together. We are up to eighteen Zirker cousins and split even with 9 boys and 9 girls. Matt and Kimbre get to break the tie.

I spent a few hours this week sorting though a box of pictures Mom brought out and then scanning them on our new scanner/copier/printer/fax. It does a very nice job and is quite speedy.

You would think spring is here. Temps in the 40's and 50's. This week they are supposed to drop to the single digits. It is just teasing us into thinking spring is just around the corner.

Mom finished her report cards this week. She puts together a nice packet for each child along with the report card. It is a lot of work but looks nice in the end.

I taught the 5th Sunday Lesson in 3rd Ward today. Bishop Wynn Mosman asked me to come explain what and how the members are supposed to clean the buildings now. I think is went pretty well.

Mom and I went out to Staples yesterday and bought new cordless phones. The system has a base station and three phones. We put one in the kitchen, one by "my couch", and the other one is still in the box. Don't know where to put it yet. I'm not big on phones in the bathroom. Too many strange noises.

Congrats to Brant, Leslie and family. New babies are wonderful and bring such excitement to a family. We loved the pictures. Send more when you get a chance.

Be good this week.
