Dear Family,

We hope that you all had a wonderful week...and Valentines Day yesterday. We've really had a fun week.

On Wednesday we were able to attend a civil wedding of a man in our ward who married his non­ member girlfriend. Our Bishop asked us to attend (as ward missionaries) so that there would at least be some body there with them. It was a small little gathering (maybe six or seven in total). John played the music and did a great job.

On Friday we finally did it. We hired a babysitter for Abigail. I worried and debated all day wether I'd actually be able to leave Abby-but our babysitter was awesome, and I don't think abigail even noticed that we were gone.

Saturday was a great day! John went to the temple in the am and then all afternoon we just played together. We took Abigail to the pet store for the first time. The birds were probably her favourite thing to watch, although some of the puppies really wanted to have some of her attention. We did a little bit of shopping, and then later watched a movie. It was nice to have a day that was relatively quite.

Abigail is far from quite however. John and her often get in yelling matches where John imitates her noises causing her to just repeat them even louder. This is especially enjoyable for them while we are in the car travelling, (when I can't escape). Abigail has also earned the nickname of "griz" as that is what she reminds me of when she plays. She just rips into her toys and can tear the house apart in a matter of seconds. Once she has managed to completely destroy one area-she saunters off to another part of the house to do the same thing there. I find most of my time is spent trying to do damage control. She is so much fun though and for a girl who is almost 1 there is no stopping her!!!

This next week is going to be pretty busy for us. On Tuesday we are making a quick trip down to Lethbridge as there are two officials from Salt Lake who are coming up to meet all of the CES candidates(sp?) and their wives. We look forward to spending some time in Cardston with mom and dad and hopefully being able to see Grandma and Grandpa Toone also.

Well that's all for now. WE love all of you and hope your next week is a Terrific one.


Love J, T, and A
