Catch-up Post

I've been meaning to post a few things for a while now, but I just haven't taken the time to do it, so here's a post to catch-up on the the random events and happenings of the Barretts.

First of all, Grace has been sitting on her own for a while now (YAY!). We're hoping the bald spot will grow in now! so here's a picture of Grace hanging with her cousin Ethan, trying to act like she's in the big league now! Next Up (and this is in no particular order of importance) We got to celebrate Deryk's Mom's birthday with her! We had a great time! We are thankful for our mom and grandma, she does so much to support and help us, and there is no question about how much she adores her little grandchildren--such a good Grandma! Thanks, Sue, for inviting us to share your birthday with you, we love and appreciate all you do! SO this is Gracie with her Grandma Sue, just after her bath. I absolutely love this picture and I promise to get you a coppy too, Sue.And finaly, (I wish I had a picture of this, but sadly I didn't think to get a picture when I went) I went to the cannary for the first time since my mission. I went with my older sister Miriam and we had a good time canning dry milk, wheet, flour, and rice. For those of you who may not be familiar with the cannary, it is a place where you can help can food storage items and even get some for yourself at a very reasonable, if not cheap, price. Deryk and I have decided we need to get a little better prepared so I'm going to go once a month. If anyone is interested in going with me just let me know, and if anyone is interested in knowing more about the cannary give me a holler. I think it is so important to have a food storage with the economy the way it is (I"m sure many of you feel the same way), and going to the cannary is actually quite fun!

So that's that! I'm caught up--I think.
