Hmmm...I didn't know that!

As the official information officer of the Reed clan, I often lose track of what I have shared with whom. Lately, several interesting tidbits have come my way and I am happy to pass them along, though judging from my comments, I'm not sure anyone will actually read them...

Tonight (Saturday), Sean is performing as Elvis at a 50th high school reunion at a hotel in St.George. He is the lead-in act for the main event--Elder Jeffrey Holland, who is one of the alumni.
Jake is a young man on the go. He has been named the Junior Ambassador for the state of Texas Psoriasis Walk in Dallas this November. He is also playing the cello in his school orchestra and recently joined his school's juggling and plate spinning club.

The Blog Fairy continues to grow in popularity. Recently, Emily did a makeover for a woman in Spain who says that there is a lot of interest in Emily's work among her Spanish blogger friends. She is working with Emily to translate her questionnaire into Spanish.

Carl and Heather have a foster child, John-John, who is almost four years old. They have had him for three weeks and will have him for at least another two. As Relief Society president in her ward, Heather has been coordinating the care of John-John and his three siblings. I know that it has been a sacrifice for everyone involved, but an enormous blessing in the lives of these children.

Clare and Chris are preparing for parenthood by raising two very nutty dogs. This is a picture of Jack. You will seldom see a picture of Brother because he is terrified of cameras...and pillows... and balls...and children...You can read more about their antics by visiting Clare's blog.

We are doing a little remodeling in our kitchen. That's remodeling with a small "r"--not a big "R". There are no granite countertops or hardwood floors involved. That will have to wait until a rich relative dies. Oh, wait--We don't have any rich relatives. Darn!!! In the meantime, we are replacing all of our appliances with beautiful stainless steel and doing a little reconfiguration. Where we currently have a microwave/oven combo, we are putting in a double oven which will involve a little reworking on the cabinetry. Above the range top we are putting in a microwave/vent combo. We are also replacing all of the hardware on the cabinets and drawers. And, if we can squeeze enough blood out of the turnip, we may replace the giant, glowing fluorescent ceiling with can lights. Welcome to the twenty-first century!

Well, that's this week's highlights. If you have any news to share, please leave it in a comment.
