Another Little Missionary Has Arrived!

We are thrilled to have another grandson as a part of our family.
We feel so blessed that he has arrived safely and that he is healthy and strong. He looks like he will fit into the family just fine and Felicia and Brandon think so also. They are excited to have him.

We have his picture on our computer desk top and marvel at his perfectness.
Truly a gift from Heavenly Father. I am excited to meet him in person when I fly back to Harvard to visit this week. Right now his daddy is getting acquainted with him during spring break.
Our love to them. What a joyful little bundle.

Love the Coast!

We had a fun trip to Salishan (that's right, Salishan) at the coast just south of Lincoln City where M's parents used to live. Your father remembers going to that home when he was in the Army for weekends etc.


The view out our hotel window was of the bay and we loved seeing the water rise with the tide and then have it be mud when the tide was out. I took this picture from our room.

We love the ocean.... it is always ever changing! Here are a few pictures - it was cold and rainy.
And then there was the ride home....on the one lane logging road with the moss and the rain...fun time. It is always good to be home though.

Love Those Boys!

Nate sent pictures of Jackson... he is sooo cute! Nate says that he loves dirt, as his shirt says. He helps his dad in the yard each day. We can't wait to get back down to see him. He has grown so much.

A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words!

Our Grandsons are amazing!

Cute Grandsons!

We were able to visit with M/K and to get to know J again - he forgets who we are since visits are so far between. What a cute little guy...as long as he can see his mother! He is all "mommy's boy" although he loves his daddy too. We loved going to the 'Baby Fair' and seeing all of the sights there. J loved the big 'people'. It was fun to be there for Sacrament Meeting to hear both M & K talk. They did a great job. But as you can guess, J was not about to stay with Grandma and Grandpa without his mommy being there with us, so M & K took turns being on the stand but it all worked out well.

Dad loved his visit with S. They saw and did wonderful things in Vegas. Wished that I would have sent the camera with him so we could have had pictures of the dam and the new North Las Vegas which dad got the land annexed into the city when he was there.

Prophet of the World - President Thomas S. Monson

With A Grateful Heart!

What a comfort and joy it is to have received the witness of the Spirit in knowing that we have a true Prophet of God to lead His work here and now on the earth at this time. It was with power that the Spirit bore witness that President/Prophet Monson was indeed whom the Lord wanted to lead His work and that he had been called of God. This witness came as President Monson spoke to the media on Monday. There is no doubt that he is the Prophet to lead Jesus Christ's Church at this time. We are honored to be a part of this great work in these last days. How grateful I am for such an honor!
