First Day of School!

It was a good first day of school! Hopefully the rest of the year will follow in kind.

 I'm finally getting around to posting some pictures from our trip to Utah. As usual, I forgot to take the camera along on most of our outings, but we managed to get a few pictures. One of the best parts of our visit for the kids was playing with their cousins (above). These guys really hit it off together and I even caught Amelia in a rare show of emotion when she hugged her cousin Mia when she came to Grandma's one day.

 Winter Quarters, NE. Cute little pioneers!

Nauvoo. It was REALLY hot- 108 degrees. The kids were good sports. George said he wished we could live there. :-)

I managed NOT to get a picture with Grandma and Grandpa- how I don't know, but we had a great trip and really appreciate all they did for us and for putting up with us for so long. Thank you G&G!
