New Pond

Preston was the only one who was with us for church today. That was so weird. During sacrament meeting he was looking at pictures of Princess Peep. He drew this heart around her, three days before Bowser abducted her. Jorja wasn't with us at church because she went with Travin to Mackie's mission farewell. I got a new calling today. I am now a Sunday school teacher with Sister Bennett. Our class is all boys. Stockton got a new calling today too. He is the Elders Quorum secretary. He was surprised by the calling because he isn't a return missionary and he is only going to be there until December. Mike taught Elders Quorum today. I wanted to sneak into his class and listen, but the Bishop was meeting with the Miamaids and Teachers answering their questions. Jorja didn't know if she would get back from Mackie's farewell in time, so she asked if I could go and voice record it on my phone. She got back for the last fifteen minutes of class. Dad said he would teach us his lesson for Family Home Evening when Stockton comes home to open his mission call.

Mike got the duck pond finished enough that he wanted to move the two remaining ducks in. Not sure what Quackletta thought about it, but the picture below makes me laugh. One thing about only having two ducks is now it is super easy to tell them apart. Plus, Waddluigi is looking more boyish. He's turning gray and getting a green head. I think his gray feathers are beautiful.

We played in the backyard for awhile. Jorja has started trying to learn lacrosse. She had Preston out throwing the ball to her. I did it too, but she didn't like how I would throw it. Apple season is almost here too. Oh boy. How are we going to keep up with everything?
