Nice Weekend

Kyle flew in to visit this weekend! Actually we asked him to come and babysit for us on Saturday, there was a High Priest Group party that we had to go to, and since there was a stake dance that night there were no available babysitters. Great excuse to have one of my favorite brothers come to stay. He got here Friday afternoon and we immediately pulled out some board games and started playing. Noah was so excited to see his "Unky." Noah had camp all last week, going to farms in the morning and swimming in the afternoon. His buddy Vanessa was at the same camp, so he loved it. Anyway on Saturday morning Scott and Kyle and the boys went swimming at the gym, and then in the afternoon Kyle watched the kids while Scott and I went to our party. A member of the ward has a huge, beautiful house on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin and every year we have our HP activity there, dinner at the house and then dessert on a boat as we cruise around the lake. It was so fun!
This morning we had a special fast for Aidan. I was so proud of Ethan, he didn't even hesitate about joining in. We've been praying for the Daws ever since we learned of Aidan's problem. Instead of regular church we had a special stake meeting with Richard G. Scott as the main speaker. The stake center was just crammed with people, all of the big classrooms were full, as well as the chapel and cultural hall. We ended up sitting on the stage. Ethan's favorite part was advice from Elder Scott: "If you want to wake up with a smile, go to sleep with a coat hanger in your mouth!"
After the meeting we had a brief picnic lunch and then took Kyle to the airport. I wish he could have stayed longer, but it sure was fun to see him!
