March-STAY IN, STAY SAFE!  Missionaries coming home, Sunday church at home...


So many missionaries came home because of the coronavirus, including many in our own family (Sister Prigmore, Elder Hardy, and Elder Cook), and all the missionaries in our ward, except our own volunteer-Sister Stout.  Her visa was extended for 6 months, but it was still touch and go whether or not she would come home, but as of now, the virus is spreading and there is service she can do from her apartment in Russia, so she will be staying, albeit she must remain indoors.  She is good with it however and her companion is very positive.  We get to talk with her twice a week now! 

Fortunately, they have a stash of yummy Russian chocolate and their apartment has a balcony with a gorgeous view of the city.  They are both well and happy.



A neighbor asked LaNae to make masks to go over the N95 that the hospital workers wear.  It is supposed to extend the life of the mask.  A hospital in Moab specifically requested some.



We did get a chance to help welcome back several missionaries from our ward - from a distance of course.  
They drove by with their families.




The neighborhood is taking part in spreading hope during this time of world-wide crisis...





Most places are closed down at this point, even our neighborhood park


Luke has done pretty well with all the disruptions to his schedule.  
We take drives up to Tibble Fork when he gets too stir crazy...


 He packed his own lunch...


We are so blessed to be quarantined with this little guy.  He is sure a delight! :)


Leland dropped by on sunday and joined us for our at home church.  Mom was not too pleased to find he had purchased a motorcycle.  It sure is good for saving gasoline however and he loves riding it.







The daffodils are out in full bloom now.  
LaNae just finished reading this fun Martha Stewart organizing book.  It has three sections-the first is divided into months Jan-Dec with great ideas for holidays scheduled in, home maintenance routines, and tasks.  The second section tells how to organize different areas of your home.  The last section is for routines. Cleaning routines and even wellness routines. Such a fun book!


Our family having church at home


Tim takes Luke out for a bit of exercise on the tandem bike

 Bundle of joy!

Luke has Seminary each week online.  He sure enjoys getting together remotely with his class!



More trips to Tibble Fork! 


Brian drew this sketch of our family in Kokeshi for his art class and Tim has been working on adding color...




I found this picture of Tim with his yochien class- 
Love that cute smile!!!
