We said goodbye to Sofi and Nate Sunday afternoon. Sofi flew back to Utah and Nate went home to Seattle. We loved having them visit, even though the time flew by way too fast.
On Wednesday, Gibson left for Aaronic Priesthood camp and spent 4 days at Lake of the Woods.
Helen left a few hours after Gibson, heading to Utah to spend 5 days with Sofi.
Wednesday continued to be eventful as Brandan tested positive for covid and started isolating. He's experienced cold-like symptoms and has continued to attend meetings and see patients virtually.
Sofi took Helen to the Melting Pot, one of her favorite restaurants.
Helen had two college tours scheduled in Utah. The first was at the University of Utah.
The second was at BYU. We're interested to learn what she thought of both.
Here's Sofi repping the U at the Y.
Becky had big news this week as well. She accepted a full time position teaching math at Crater High School. She still has a year of school left in her Masters' program and other requirements to finish before receiving a teaching license, but the teaching shortage is severe. It's going to be a crazy year trying to teach full time while attending school full time and maintaining some kind of family life.
This is a photo of Becky's classroom, desperately in need of cleaning and organizing before the first day of school. If being a first year teacher on a restricted license weren't enough of a challenge, the school only has one other math teacher, also beginning her first year of teaching. The school doesn't have an adopted curriculum, and since all of the other math teachers quit or retired, we have to decide what to teach and how to teach it. School starts in 3 weeks. The school is being remodeled, which is great, but it also means there is no air conditioning or running water in the first floor. With delays and supply chain issues, it looks like the water will be turned back on in October. The construction is expected to last another year. It's hard to tell from the photo, but the temperature of the room is roughly the same as the surface of the sun. Bring it on!
Gibson came home from camp on Saturday morning. He had a great time. Highlights of the week include summiting Mt. McLoughlin, being on the winning triathlon team, playing volleyball for hours and spending time with friends.
And, apparently, dressing like a Russian grandmother, as this photo taken at camp shows. From the left are Ed, Cason, Gib and Levi.
Gib spent Saturday afternoon at Ed's house where they shucked a mountain of corn for Ed's family.
Becky's mom was transferred from the hospital to a rehab center/skilled nursing facility. She's improving from her surgery, but has lost a lot of strength in the hospital. She has physical therapy twice a day to help her regain the ability to walk. Annette has taken extraordinary care of her since she was admitted to the hospital.
