Hello, Family—
I haven’t updated the family blog in forever, it seems ☹
So many of my projects/church jobs/household
responsibilities have me focused on the computer, I actually try to cut down my
screen time! But here are a few sentences for you.

We just finished our February Break, which is a week. We
stayed in town and Kara got in a few shifts being a hostess at The Local. It’s
a restaurant less than a mile from here. She is at the front, and she seats
people, answers the phone and fills carryout orders. When she turns 18 next
month, she can train to be a waitress. She still plans on playing tennis
starting late March, though, so we’ll see how many shifts she can do then.
She also took care of “Paige” here at the house, our friend’s
dog, while they went on vacation. Paige is about 8, a little bigger than Macho (our dog, growing up, little black Peekapoo) but Paige is white. Nicer for Paige to be at a house instead of the kennel, and Kara got the same
money they would have paid the kennel. Since Paige is pretty mellow, it worked out well.

Frank is on the train to NYC at this moment, just for a
couple of days. This Saturday is his birthday, and that night we’ll have a few
couples over for a Games Night. Kara’s working but she can say happy birthday
during the day! Ha.
David is about 1/2 way through his semester at BYU. He's still learning Chinese and working at the stadium on Saturdays, whenever there is a home game.

I’m teaching Primary now, on Sundays at church. I have the 8 and 9 year olds, who are in 2nd and 3rd grade. There are 7 of them on the
roll, and our room feels like this tiny closet space. I don’t even have a table
in there, because my chair plus 7 other normal-sized chairs barely fit! Ha, but
I’m not exaggerating. I’m getting the routine down in spite of the
claustrophobic room. We're studying the Old Testament this year. This week we talked about Noah's Ark.
We had the sister missionaries over for dinner Sunday, and
we took pictures and I texted them to one’s mom in Utah. The other sister
missionary is from Portugal so I put the pics into a facebook message for her
mom. Technology can be so much fun! (When it works…other times you want to bang
your head against the wall?!?)
I have to share this youtube link, you’ll laugh! This morning after exercising, I caught 3 minutes of the Today Show. They showed this video, and it made me chuckle. It’s a quick clip, but they replay it about 4 times, so you can watch this little toddler closely, haha 😊
Have a good week!
Kari
