Goofball, lol Kieran wrote and typed up his part for the primary program, printed it, and brought it with him into the family room. Where Catniss promptly decided she needed to protect that paper with her life. She's swatting Kieran away from his own paper. General Conference was a delight. The primary gifted all the kids a giant coloring page - plus Hollyn and myself got one. It was actually super fun! Just some pictures from day-to-day life.

Family memory unlocked!
