Brown Update

We had a wonderful visit with Mom and Dad last weekend. I was so excited that so many of us were able to go.

Tricia talked me into listing the house sooner, so we're almost ready now and it will be on the market this week. We had a yard sale yesterday.The trailer park owners are very strict. They won't allow any yard toys except a swing set and a sand box with a cover. No swimming pool. Even bikes have to be stored in a shed when not in use. So we sold almost all of our outside toys and a bunch of furniture. We'll have another sale after the baptism. There are a few things we need to keep until then,like the extra bed and a couch or two. We've packed up and moved lots of things into a storage unit. Last night we moved all the furniture out of the living room and I cleaned and "refreshed" the wood floor. I need to get another bottle and do a second coat tomorrow, but it looks better. I have the girls' room and our room ready to show. What a lot of work. I don't know how we moved before. The boys' room is my project for tomorrow, along with finishing the floor.

Dylan has his first big band concert this week. They bring all the 6th graders in the district together for one big concert. Dylan is the only French horn player in beginning band. He also gets to go to the temple to do baptisms for the dead for the first time on Friday. He doesn't show it, but he's excited.

Jason will begin training his replacement at work tomorrow. That's along process, so it's good that he's starting now.
