My family

I love to blog because not only does it help me to stay in touch with my mother, sister, friends, and nieces in South Africa, but it allows me the opportunity to find out how my children and grandchildren are doing. Because I also use it as a diary, I would like to share some news. Today George was called to serve as second councillor to the Sacramento Stake President. He will continue to also serve as a bishop of Laguna Creek 5th ward until a new bishop is called. One of my greatest fears when immigrating to the United States nine years ago was that we would not have the opportunity to serve. All these fears were unfounded. I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me. I recently stopped doing day-care and so will have more time to spend with my grandchildren. I love to be available to help out when my daughters need me. I also want to spend more time with my sweetheart George ( a week day lunch date every now and then will be a nice distraction). I feel so grateful for my four precious children, for their wonderful spouses, and for my beautiful grandchildren. Dylan is growing bigger everyday and as his other granny said, "There is no mistaking him for a girl". He has the biggest hands and feet I think I have ever seen on a baby! Baby Sharon is speaking clearly now and is just as spunky as me. Kamryn has stated preschool and loves it. Katie has started kindergarten (grade O) and can read and write now.
