Loved Living with Grandma and Grandpa Douglas

We have been lucky enough to live with Marilyn and Roger these past 5 months.  They are so good and make things to easy.  I love each of them so much and its been nice to get to know them better as we have lived with them.  One thing that I have learned from Marilyn's example is that she is completed devoted to her husband and she would do anything for him.  She is also very dedicated to her callings both in primary and in being a visiting teacher. She is always willing to help and you rarely hear her complain about anything.  She uses her amazing talents to serve others. I am grateful for her example and for the love that she continually extends to me and my family.
Our kids have such a special relationship with each of them.  They have dedicated so much time and love into developing these everlasting relationships with their grandkids. Parker loves waking up in the morning and going into their room to lay in between them in bed.  She just feels so comfortable in their home. Every night, Grandma would put a little lavender oil on Parkers neck and she had her very own chapstick by the side of her bed for Parker.  Grandma also would take the time to paint Parkers nail on a weekly basis.
It has been such a busy time in our lives.  The boys head off to school and Roger and I usually head over to the house to work on some project.  We installed most of the closets, baseboards, and trim.  We have spent hours upon hours working on the house.  I have done most of the general contracting for the house.  For the most part, I have loved working with all of the contractors.  Our framers took 2 months to complete the job, but after that, things started really rolling quickly.
