Summer Summary

Well, here we are already into October! The past couple of months have just flown by with family reunions, trips, blessings, etc. In August we blessed our little Camilla. We were so grateful to have both of our fathers and a couple of her uncles her to be able to bless her. She wore the same blessing dress her sisters wore and looked just adorable. Of course, we forgot to take pictures until after church and that's why she isn't so happy!
A week after Camilla's blessing we had the Potter Family Reunion. It's been quite awhile since our last reunion so it was a lot of fun to see everyone. It was a little bit crazy with 13 kids and 13 adults in two houses, but it was definitely worth it! Here's
a picture of our girls and their cousins Hannah and Ethan. As you can see, they had a ball playing night and day with all their cousins!We were glad to have some extra time with Jenny & Nathan and company since they live so far away!

Now we're just trying to get back to normal life. We had the Primary Program here a couple of weeks ago and that is always fun. Natalie had three different parts and Lucy had two because we have such a small primary. They did really well on giving them except Lucy said both her parts at once. The primary president was whispering for her to stop, but she just said it anyway! Of course, the Sunbeams (including Lucy) were a little bit wiggly. We'd planned on this so we worked out a little sign system for the girls. If Mom & Dad folded their arms that meant the girls needed to be more reverent. If Mom & Dad put a finger up to their mouth that meant be quiet. If Mom & Dad put their hand up to their ears that meant sing louder. It worked out really well, except when Natalie decided that the girl next to her was singing too loud and tried to cover her mouth. Then when her teacher told her not to do that, she plugged her ears for the rest of the song. We didn't really have a sign for "You're being rude, stop it!" You just never know with kids, I guess.
