Ben held down the fort and they ate all the yummy food! I was gone for 5 days! I always have mom guilt when I do that but I really wanted to do that. While I was gone our ward brought dinner to Ben and the kids on Weds and Thurs. And Michelle and Kristin brought a meal and then Erica fed the kids on Saturday after Marens baptism and then on Sunday we had more leftovers.. Anyway, people are so generous!

And Alex got his mission call to Chile while I was gone!

Brewer had his 2 surgeries the day dad died. So Ben had to take care of his wounds that week I was gone. He kept taking his bandages off and he ripped open the stitches on his foot so then we had to keep him in the cone and keep it wrapped! Crazy Dog!
