Mom Arnell is in the house!

A thought to the new parents in our family... from one of Mom Arnell's Happy Books...
 
Cleaning and scrubbing can wait 'til tomorrow
for babies grow up... we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs... dust, go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby... and babies don't keep!
 
   
Mom Arnell comes to town to watch her baby boy in concert... Mom Arnell cuddles with our baby girl!

   
American Festival Chorus and Orchestra in array at Kent Concert Hall... Dr. Craig Jessop, conducting... Fans in the balcony gather to watch!

   
Trick or Treaters on November 8? Three generations in the hallway!

 

We would like to announce the coming celebration of Mother’s 90th birthday. Her express wish is to have a Saturday morning session at the Logan Temple in Logan, Utah, followed by a family gathering[1]. We are tentatively planning on the Saturday closest to her birthday… and that would be Saturday, April 10, 2010. Meanwhile, check to make sure your temple recommend is current, or take steps to secure your “ticket” to the event. Gifts are superfluous at this point… but if you wish to spend money… make the trip... or contributions to the family fund (for genealogical research) will be gratefully accepted. Your presence and participation will be the greatest of gifts to our family matriarch. Local accommodations will be on the first response/first serve basis. Plan now to join us! We understand that distance and the economy are factors for many in the family… we know you will come if you can... and will be hurting if you can't!



[1] Mother said she didn’t want an Open House… we suggested that a family gathering wouldn’t be considered an open house, and that she had so few friends still living, most attending would be from the other side… and they don’t eat much! … or get in the way!
