Aunt Sarah has gotten engaged and was having a bridal shower and going through the temple to receive her endowments in Houston. It was a very tight schedule to get all this done on the same day!The shower was wonderful. Hosted by long time family friend Laura Nixon. It was fun to have the big girls there too.
Going to the temple with Sarah was wonderful, especially to be in the temple with most of the McKneelys. But it was a bit stressful....Susan had delegated to Stephen to call a particular restaurant and reserve their semi-private room for a dinner after the temple. He delegated to me, or rather asked me to help him remember. Getting the children all settled at Laura's house (all 9 of them with only 1 sitter) was a bit of a swirl and when we all gathered in the temple, Laura confirmed that we'd indeed called the restaurant.....but we'd forgotten. Stephen and I worried and stressed through the whole ceremony in the temple and as soon as we could we excused ourselves to hurry out and make the reservation. It all worked out but it was really stressful.
Sam turned 9 that Sunday. He was a good sport allowing us to put off celebrating. Stephen was watch dog at school the next day. We're so grateful for this kid. He's a rule follower, loves to learn and is a good and loyal friend. Happy Birthday buddy!
