February

February kept us busy with - well - mostly preparations for our return to Portugal - but we do have much to report dealing with the family.

Sejam bem vindos queridos amigos

(Welcome dear friends)

We enjoyed another visit with the Brazilians and the Browns.

The Cheesecake Factory provided the backdrop for the McDonaldSiblings lunch.

In preparation for that big day in May, Hayley took out her endowments in the Dallas Temple of the 12th.

 

Only one birthday to report this month. The Mom/Grandma turned 74. 

Doing something that she's never done before, Kimba went on a ski adventure with her kiddos. 

We always love our visits with David!

They just don't come often enough!!

Mardi Gras is always a hit with the Texans!

We were able to take a quick trip up to 'Iceberg' 

And a quick trip to SLC gave us an opportunity to have lunch with Michael at Gourmandise.

Thanks to CCC's fantastic photo skills, we have another great picture of the old tole painting group. 😂

Our temple service terminated in Ogden.

Attending grandkid activities is now on hold.

(On this particular night, Spee ended with 18 points. His best game he has ever played.)

We enjoyed one last visit with Jan and Janet and Jenna.

The NJMs hosted our 'Last Supper'.

Bill and Sandy traveled down for one last pre-mission visit.

Winston was happy to visit - as long as he could see Bill or Sandy.

We are now about 48 hours from departure. Our bags are packed. We're practically ready to go. Still waiting on the Covid test, the prescriptions, and who knows what else. 

It gets harder to leave each time. Just so ya know!

Love you all soooooooo much!

Be sure to keep in touch.

Have fun

Be good

Don't fight

Next month we return to
