Okey dokey, then! Just called Ali to request Rory's presence at our house tomorrow afternoon and evening while we enjoy the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics! YAY! ;-] Ali and Andrew can go out and do whatever they want, and we get to feed, bathe, change, rock and LOVE baby Rory! We are DEFINITELY getting the better deal.
We are going to need the uplift Rory always gives us, because Saturday is going to be a very rough day. Denny's Mom is doing very poorly and needs 24/7 care. Her husband has to leave for a few days to complete some responsibilities in his home in Holbrook. He is the Stake Patriarch and has a few blessings lined up this weekend. He will be gone for five days. None of us can stay with Mom at her home in Tempe full-time, so she is going to removed to a Nursing Care Facility on Saturday. And GUESS which two people are going to be with her when the team arrives to pick her up????? YEP! Den and Sue! But please understand that we volunteered . . . we don't want Pop or anyone else to be take the brunt of Mom's feelings. Pop told her last week that she was going to the facility, and she was very upset. We are gearing up to be patient, loving and kind . . . We will follow the little ambulance to the facility and then help Mom get settled. She is NOT going to be happy when we leave her there . . . but she will be well cared for, and one member of the family will visit her every day.
We have been asked by our Bishop to speak on a very sensitive subject in this Sunday's combined RS/Priesthood Meeting. We have both been preparing for it since he talked to us Tuesday night. We are humbled that we were asked to do this.
More later!
I love hearing about your adventures with your great granddaughter. She is a very blessed little girl!
