MTC They Go!

My parents, Bruce and Barbara Wheelwright, our children's Grandpa and Grandma enter the Provo, Utah Mission Training Center (MTC) tomorrow. They will be there for about two weeks and then come home to pack to move back to New York. They will be driving back to New York soon after, the end of November.
They are going to serve a mission for our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They will be serving there for a period of 18 months as Welfare Specialists, working in the L.D.S. Employment Center in downtown, Manhattan, NY.
We are very excited for them. My parents have always had a love for missionary work going as far back as my Mom's family being converted to the church when my Mom was around eight years old. My Dad served a mission in the Hawaiian islands in 1963-1965. My parents has many friends there and our family have been so blessed to know the people he met there.
Going up my parents have continued to do missionary work, making friends and having them over for dinner. We knew as children that our parents were planning on serving a full-time mission in their retirement years.
So here they go! Good luck Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa! We love and pray for you!

Jacob is a Bobcat!

Jacob has been in Cub Scouts since he turn eight, right after his birthday. He earned his Bobcat shortly afterward. Jacob really like Cub Scouts and the boys that are in his pack. He is always excited to go and gets all ready by himself. His last pack meeting he was welcomed in and given his Bobcat award. So proud!

Halloween-School Style

We had a super fun and busy day on Halloween. Noah got to go Trick or Treating at the high school where he goes to preschool. They helped him make a really cute Halloween bucket to carry ALL his candy in, a ton. Noah was busy the whole month of October making Halloween decorations that we got to put in our house. My favorite was the hanging spider.
Jacob had a parade with all the kids in the whole school that morning. Jacob's best friend is Jeremy and they got a picture together. Then an hour before school got out, we went for a party in his classroom. It was so fun and Noah and Adam enjoyed being with Jacob in his classroom.
I made a chicken pot pie for dinner and put a cat shaped cut out on the top crust.
That night we went Trick or Treating in our old neighborhood and saw some of our friends. One of our friends, Jana took a pictures of our family, very nice. We had a great day! We were all TIRED after that day of play.
Adam, so of course had to have two outfits, a turtle and a pumpkin.
