So I was so impressed by so many people that write down the happenings of their lives, that I thought why am I not using this as a journal for my family. So here goes... the happenings of the Dan and Annette Swainston family.
We, as many may know, are a family of 7 and lately that number seems so small. I guess I say that is because all the kids are growing up and going away. This week it has been very aparent to me that we are changing and moving on. Mandy didn't come home this summer, instead she moved to Sacramento, to find wealth and the northern Califonia Boys. Dallin is still up in Rexburg waiting to finish his first year of college and then to come home for just a month, to leave for a Mission to Peurto Rico. We are so excited for him. We know the Lord will bless him with the ability to speak a new language(Spanish) and to share his testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ while in Peurto Rico.
Daniel left this week for a football camp at BYU in Provo. That leaves Sarah and Nathan home with Dan and I. I think I have only cooked dinner once. Nathan has cooked more than myself. We are changing and it is a good change, I just think I now realized that my kids are not little any more and don't need me as much. ( they just need our money hahah) But every once and a while one will surprise me and call me for help, or just show up at the right time to help me. One even wrote me a nice poem to let me know that he misses me. I love you guys! You are my world! There is no better calling than that of a mother. We have had a busy spring and the summer is just beginning to get even busier. With Swim meet, Young Men and Girls camp and hopefully a quick trip to Idaho and Utah we will drink up that important fuel---gasoline-- and in turn it will drink up all our money for the cause of happiness. Wish us good luck! Here we come Summer!
