Life at the Laurences

Hey everyone! Sorry it's been so long. Looks like Adam and Annaka are doing well with their new school schedules and activities. What a great looking party pirate Adam! Sounds like it was a lot of fun!

Things have been insanely busy around here right now with preparations for the primary program, keeping a huge primary staffed and functioning, volunteering at the kid's school and just being a mom and dad. We can relate to Annaka feeling like there is more homework because we're experiencing that as well; especially now that Clayton is learning to read and has that to do each night! But over all life is going really well. Mackenzie and Madison have a piano recital on Monday that we've been preparing for. Is Annaka doing piano still now she's taking violin? Clayton loved finishing out the soccer season and now we're debating on whether Melissa's schedule can accomodate Jr. Jazz Basketball. Between Craig's two jobs and three church callings we are lucky to have time together to do anything other than the necessary home cleaning/maintenance stuff with him, but we are really proud of what he does to provide for our family. Being the Emergency Communications person for the ward he recently got his HAM Radio license so we should set up a time with you California Besaw's to practice!

I know it's taken me forever, but here is the information for our Cousins Christmas Exchange:

Annaka gives to Clayton
Adam gives to Morgan
Mackenzie gives to Kennedy
Madison gives to Tyler
Clayton gives to Adam
Morgan gives to Annaka
Tyler gives to London
Baby Besaw gives to Madison
London gives to Baby Besaw
Kennedy gives to Mackenzie

We discussed a $15 to $20 price range so hopefully that is still okay with everyone. We are looking forward to all being together in November! Hope you are all still doing well!

Love -The Laurences
