Well you can see from the pictures the reason why I have not posted for a while. I left Salt Lake City Airport on Feb. 26th to visit Paul, Isabelle and Seth in San Ramon, Calif. Laura went down to visit with her family in Las Vegas for a few days, then I got to visit with her and Cooper at the end of my 9-day stay. We had lots of fun, as you can tell from the one picture, I posted. But other pictures include the beautiful neighborhood that they live in, the park where Seth and I walk to, and the beautiful view of the mountains. This was a very beautiful time of year to vist, red bud in full bloom, flowers and the most "lush" greenery I have seen in a long time. We had family movie night, with "dinner on the floor" (growing up I was familiar with "dinner on the ground (church meetings) - which was pizza, as we sat on a blanket and enjoyed a movie together. Laura introduced me to sushi (a brown rice vegetable roll - low point count for Weight Watchers and very delicious and addictive. I learned how to drive Laura's car and the GPS system that told me how to get to Isabelle's school and dance class and Seth's swim class - and I even ventured out more - because no matter where I went, I could always hit HOME and it would get me back home. It was fun, and I was like a little kid learning a new toy - and reporting in to Paul often to report my progress. He had so much patience with me.
With that new experience, and accomplishment, Scott felt I was up to witnessing the delivery of their son - which I did do (didn't think I could - but did, and glad I did). Harley was in Mesa for a week before I joined him because Lori started having early labor and they needed someone to be there. But they waited for me to get there before having the baby. I got there on Thursday night and the baby came on Monday morning. Baby Brigham and his new family are doing well. As you can tell from the picture Scott did get to help deliver the baby. It was good to spend time with them and let the boys get to know us a little better.
Since we were so close to Yuma, we went on down there on March 13th and Harley played in a golf tournment with Patrick on the 15th. It was good to visit them in their new home and Saige was so excited to see us. Garrett is really growing.
We did not want to leave Tripp and his family out of the loop and even though we knew they would be at church, we stopped by on our way home, and dropped off Chili Pepper for him.
We certainly have many blessings and we are so thankful. We got home to snow in Cedar and then some beautiful spring days with flowers blooming, and a snow shower last night, that has melted now.
