Hey favorite missionary!

How are you??  Looks like you have another week until transfers.  I will be excited to hear if you are transferred or not. :)

I don't have a lot to say…especially since dad wrote and sent it to me and I really don't want to repeat everything.

So, I have my psych final on Thursday…woo hoo.  I am so excited to be done with psych!  I think it makes me hyper aware of everyone's mental illnesses.  And EVERYONE has a mental illness..ha,ha.  I don't think it has helped that we have all been super stressed!!  Dad seems to be calming down after his crisis.  Now I am trying to help TT with her anxieties.  We went and saw Woody on Friday.  He asked about you and asked me to tell you Hi for him!  I think TT enjoys seeing him, but I am not sure that it really helped.  I struggle with whether I should put her on meds or not.  I am starting to lean towards doing putting her on meds.  I still don't know.  What do you think? (you can write me separately on this issue)  Jessica said that she didn't think she should be put on meds…She also let me know that the anxieties are learned from me.  Oh well…what do you do?  I have done the very best I could do. :)

It is snowing again!!  You know, I still LOVE snow!  I don't necessarily love driving in it, but I do love it!  There is something calming about watching the snow.  I think TT likes it too.  I KNOW that Nala LOVES snow.  She cracks me up…she keeping going out, getting covered in snow, then she comes in to see us…all happy, as if to say "look at me".  ha,ha.  Then she runs back out!  She is a hoot!

Uncle Rick came to visit yesterday.  Chipper was so excited to see him!!!  He made Rick pet him for a LONG time!  It is weird to watch him WANT to be pet!  I think it made Rick feel good too!  It was sweet!  So, I guess you probably want some pictures ????

Here is Jessica's 29 week picture.  I will also add what she wrote about it.

29 Weeks today! Little Manchild Powell is the size of a butternut squash!! (about 2 1/2lbs and just over 15 inches long ----if he's an average baby)
He still doesn't have a name...nothing seems to really fit him yet.

So happy to be at my appointment

I thought you might enjoy what Jessica wrote on facebook….

For some reason, Little Powell Manchild doesn't understand why the last 2$ in our February Food budget can't buy him dinner tonight. What's more ridiculous is he thinks he needs a dinner that includes: An icecream cake, a jimmy johns 8 inch sub, a tall glass of orange juice, Strawberry freckled lemonade from Red Robin, McDonald's fries, chocolate fudge poptarts, Buttery green beans and corn, a loaded baked potato, Mangoberry salad from Zupas Cafe, and Pesto cavetappi from Noodles and Company.............Sorry, little baby, but tonight we're having bagels and rice-a-roni smile emoticon possibly popcorn later if you behave (unless of course you can convince Daddy to buy us dinner with the cash we earned selling our snowboard....)hmmm

I thought that was funny!   Her belly is sure getting round! :)  I hope you are enjoying your weekly photos.  lol

Well, I really don't have a whole lot to say, since Dad said everything..lol.  I am so proud of you!  Keep your chin up and always work hard and be strictly obedient!

I love you!

Mom!
