>raman amplifier  I won’t even begin to try to explain how the last several weeks have been as a family. But the high level has still been full and busy.  One week after we returned from California our Washington Camp meeting started.  We took the girls down both Sabbathsand I also took the girls two additional days.  They both loved it.  Sharmi was very disappointed that she couldn’t go everyday to all of the meetings, but 4 days in one week without naps was more than enough. 

The downside of campmeeting was that Sharmi got sick from some little girls and then she shared it with her sister.  They have been sick for a week and a half. 

Yesterday we came over to Poulsbo to spend some time with my grandmother since my parents are out of town.  The funniest thing happened today.  Their Nana always has popsicles for the girls, but this morning Sharmi was not being nice and so I told her that she could not have popsicile.  I however, forgot to tell Nana.  Tonight when I was tucking Sharmi into bed she said, “Nana gave me a popsicle today.”  I said, “Oh you weren’t supposed to have one.”  She said, “I know.   Nana didn’t listen to me very well when I tried to tell her. I tried to tell her but she just got up and got  me one anyways.  She doesn’t listen to me very well.  She brought it, and so I just took it because I wanted it.”  The entire time she was telling me she had the biggest smile on her face.  And she was laughing, that “Nana doesn’t listen very well.”  The laughing was certainly worth her not getting her punishment.   

Next week is another hospital week.  Other than her cold she is going great.  We expect nothing but good reports.

I hope all is well you and your families.
