Josh took this picture of a sculpture he saw while in San Francisco and sent it to me.  
I love it!  Look at the joy in both their faces.
What a precious gift these babies are!

I was so irritated on Sunday.  Stake Conference is this weekend and it was announced that our visiting GA was inviting all youth 12+ to the Saturday evening adult session. I immediately thought: "Thank you for un-inviting me , and many of my friends". Any mom in the stake with children until 12 probably won't be there.  Unless Grandma steps in. I vented my frustration to my poor husband.  He just assumed that I would take precedence over attending and one of our older girls would babysit.  I told him that's not how moms think -and most likely that other moms in the stake wouldn't be leaving their teens at home.  Plus, what about those moms who only have young children? You've just effectively taken away all their babysitters. He said that he did make this argument a month ago when the meeting was being discussed.  I guess he got outvoted. When these sorts of decisions come down - I have to say that it makes me grumpy.  Don't the people making the

Lion to Lamb - March Madness

Guys?  Can I just say that I am so incredibly happy in my new surroundings.  So, so happy.   Content.  It feels so good to feel that way after struggling against negative feelings frequently for the past 10 years.  Loved some great stuff about our old home and miss some great people - but it feels so RIGHT to be here right now, and that is a very satisfying feeling. We are still smack-dab in the middle of birthday season - Brynne was the latest victim.  And now I can finally talk about her birthday because the surprise part is over.  So.  Due to the untimely and sudden death of the iPod Touch that Brynne bought herself a few years ago, we thought she might like a replacement for her birthday (turns out that was a giant yes) - which pretty much used up our birthday funds for her, plus.  So she had a really quiet birthday, which we celebrated on Easter since her actual birthday ended up being one of those days packed with busyness that doesn't lend itself well to making a kid

 Here was the best part of June -  Logan came home on June 20 2023!!  He arrived at the Pasco/Tri-Cities airport around 10:30pm.  We were tired waiting for him.  Nathan is still jet-lagged from his flight in from Saudi so it was nice of him to come along!  It help us not seem like such a small group.  We are happy to have him around! I had a sign made for him that Faith and Sam held up for him to see. On Wednesday morning we gathered in the living room of our AirBnB and called Hannah and Brynne so they could join while Logan was released.  Josh asked a few questions, Logan shared his testimony with us, and then Josh officially released him.  We spent the day playing and eating.  On Thursday we joined with the pioneer trekkers and Kenna and Natalie got to hug their brother hello and goodbye as they head off on a Mexican adventure of their own! we stopped in Corvallis so Logan could say hello to his grandparents. Then homeward bound! The mission posted these photos online of their outgoi
