Nov 6, 2008, Kacey LeSueur in school performance

This is Kacey, dressed in her red, white and blue for school on the day they are to participate in a Veteran's Day program for their parents and family.

We sure are enjoying our opportunity to be back with members of our family here in Arizona!

Thursday, Nov 6, we were able to attend a Veteran's Day musical program at Pioneer Elementary where our granddaughter Kacey LeSueur, age 5, attends school.

They gave a great performance, tributes to our veterans and members of the US military who have defended our country over so many years.

Here is Kacey with some of her classmates. They were so enthusiastic! How fun for us to see this group of children perform!

November 1-2, 2008, Flagstaff to Linden to Mesa, AZ

As the sun began to set Sunday evening we bid goodbye to our 3 White Mountain families and made our way down old US 60 to Mesa and the East Valley , our home for almost our entire life.

We will be residing temporarily with our daughter Melissa, husband Russell and their family of four in Gilbert while we prepare for our missionary service in West Virginia. We are scheduled to be at the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center on January 5, 2009.

These last 60+ days of travel have been a wonderful, memorable experience, confirming upon us the beauty of this America, the goodness of its people, the blessing of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, resonating with ever growing power in every part of this nation and the world. As we have traveled we have, through the miracle of modern technology, taken our family and many of our friends along with us, with daily postings to our blog, receiving responses and updates from so many of you as we went along. What a choice eperience for us! We love each other, our country, our family and or God!

This is the day to exercise our right to vote in this wonderful experiment called American Democracy; a nation "of the people, by the people and for the people." May we each help ensure that it "shall not perish from the earth."

Here are two of Kelly's daughters, Catelyn and Elsie. Catelyn (on the right) said if I took this picture I would have to put it on the blog. So, here it is! Two perfect charmers, these granddaughters!

It was so fun to be with our White Mountain families once again!
