Finally a warm week-end.Friday was quite a whirlwind of a day. Aaron drove from our house to the Salt Lake Temple to attend the sealing of Erik Hall and Shellie Linford. Shellie's grandfather performed the sealing and had been her patriarch for her blessing. It is always so wonderful to see the promise in the eyes of two wonderful youth embarking on an eternity together. After the 11:50 sealing (they keep a tight ship at SLC) and pictures Shellie's parents hosted a luncheon at the Lion House, then it was back in the car for a return drive.
Saturday morning found each little Wells awaking to the candy and hidden eggs of our spring celebration. Spring Celebration is a holiday of our own design. It comes each Saturday before Easter Sunday. The bunny brings baskets of candy and he hides colored and candy eggs in the yard for our children to find.
Easter, on the other hand, finds those same children at Church listening to lessons and testimony of The Lord, resurrected and living after three days in a borrowed tomb.
Saturday, was not complete with just the candy and eggs. There were soccer games to play. David had two games, one and 9 and a second at 1:00. Daniel's team was in Mountain Home at 1:00. Because the Prom was also Saturday, many of the team didn't go to the game. However, there were five U16 players who came to the game (only four could play). It was also nice to see Tyner play again. Daniel and David both were playing well. Mountain Home, while sunny, was windy and cold (like always). In the end, the boys teams won all three games.
Daniel and Amanda attended Prom with six other youth from the area. Amanda and DaraDee made Amanda's dress. Her date's name is Phillip. He is a nice, quiet and respectful young man who attends a performing arts charter school. He dances and is very accomplished in piano. Daniel went with Michelle, a very lovely and nice young lady from school.
Spring is worth being exuberant about, even if unbridled.
