More dancers

The last bit is very creative. The treadmill dancer. I happen to think that Daph has incredible rhythm and nice choreography. Oh and I also like the pivot turns of Byrn.

sniff....

I'm allowed that today aren't I? Can I just say that I really don't like the departure level of the airport. But I love the arrival level. Guess you have to have one to have the other. That's on the order of a gospel principle, you have to have an opposition in all things! So just for today I'm allowing myself to be bummed. Have fun with Colie everyone! Even if it will only be a couple of hours. And she's off....

Thanks Colie for the update

Colie updated my background. Looks as nice as everybody else now. I have nothing to report for today. It's the week-end. The sun is out. We slept in. Had waffles for breakfast. Walked the Tervuren Lakes. Will have Thai food for dinner and plan to go to Kinepolis to see 'Kite Runner' and eat candy. Steve went downtown with friends, and Tom and Colie are going to work on their taxes. My kind of day!

she should be fine with her french accent

Just before Nicole leaves, I think you should see just why her accent will probably be flawless in a few months!

Nicole's Farewell Sunday

Today was Nicole's farewell at church. We all participated. I think it went very well. Steve bore his testimony about being grateful for the knowledge the Gospel has brought into his life. Mine was about developing Christlike attributes. My fav quote in my talk was from Sheri Dew. She said someone once paid her a compliment and said, "Sister Dew, I bet when you wake up in the morning the adversary says to himself, 'oh heck, she's awake again!' I would hope he feels that way about all of us b/c of our commitment to living the gospel!
Dad talked about having the spirit in our lives. Colie...well, she may want to say in her own blog, but the message I got was how much of a privilege it is to be on the Lord's errand.
I was doing just fine until the closing song and Dad and I were sharing the hymn book and he stopped singing because he was choked up. That did me in. Otherwise children, you would have been proud of me!
Tonight for FHE, Nicole gave the lesson on Presidents of the U.S. It was well done. We have had some great leaders. Hopefully it will continue! Happy Presidents Day tomorrow. Dad has to work, but Steve gets to sleep in.
Oh, and the wrestling update. Considering it was Europeans, he did ok. Of course he would have liked to have done better. There were 12 in his weight class, the top wrestlers in Europe. Of course they were all good! He did stay safe from injury. For that I am supremely grateful.
Finally, two new Herway baby boys on the way! Yahoo!

Happy Valentine's Day, and keep your fingers crossed

Everyone have a great Valentine's day. I have a confession. I asked Tom on Tuesday if he had gotten me anything for Valentine's day...only because I hadn't gotten him anything and I was hoping he would say 'no'. Luckily, he gave me this shagrinned (is that a word?) look and sheepishly said 'no'. Whew! We made a deal that we wouldn't do anything special this year and save our money for the big splurge to Hawaii this year.

I'm not suggesting this to anyone. I always think it's good to get a special note, or card and a date to dinner etc. It always helps to say 'I love you' and get a little mushy and all. But we are leaving for Germany tonight for Wrestling Europeans...
Which brings me to the cross your fingers bit. Everyone keep a prayer in your heart for Steve to not get injured and to play his very best!
Off to Wiesbaden till Saturday.
