I don't know if I am doing this right, but here goes! Thanks, George, for starting this. I am not one to get involved in things like this, but really feel as George that whatever we can do to strenghten the Richins family is worth it. I also want my kids to know their family, especially such a good one they come from. We so love mom and dad and their diligent examples to live the gospel. We are also ones who don't always take the time to keep in touch. Not because we don't want to know what is going on in each other's lives, but like George said, we get busy with our own family. I have been thinking about that a lot lately. How can we be too busy for our extended family? These are the people who should mean the most to us and who we should speak good of at all times and long to talk to and spend time with, uplift, care and love one another. We will commit to doing better on our part. Some good news. Amberly tried out for a district wide Honors Choir. There were 140 first sapranos and they only selected 22. She was selected and is so excited. Her performance will be December 6 sometime in the afternoon. Anyone is welcome, although I know December is busy! Garrett and Samantha started basketball. Annalisa, Spencer and Sami are all doing well and happy. What a blessing! We are excited about the reunion. At the beginning of the year we hope to get some things out to get everyone else excited too! It is going to be a lot of fun. We love everyone and are excited to keep in touch through this blog! Donna
