Saturday Surprise!

On Saturday morning a couple of weeks ago I was lying in bed, mostly asleep, but awake enough to hear the pitter-patter of little feet every so often, mingled w/ a few muted giggles, when all of a sudden a little boy with an orange face burst into the room, squealing w/ laughter, accompanied by the red girl! They shot out the room as fast as they had entered. I was definitely awake. I followed them into Ethan's room for an inspection of what they had been up to. As you can see, they had had a....creative few minutes alone together! It would have been a little more funny if they had not put marker on the soles of their feet and been leaving faint navy blue footprints around the house! They had put blue polka dots all over each other's backs w/ a marker that wasn't as washable as some. Needless to say, they both had blue polka dots for almost a week.

Starting to Say Goodbye to Good Ole SLC

As we begin to get ready to move to CT we have starting taking our camera EVERYWHERE so we can make up the children their SLC Photo Books. Here are a few photos. The first few are taken at Red Butte Gardens, and the remainder are here in downtown SLC.



This view is about a block from where we live now. That's the Cathedral of the Madeline in the background.


Temple Square



We call this little park the water wheel park (obivously b/c of the water wheel), but I think it's called Brigham Park, or something similiar. All three kiddies love it here. It's great for climbing on rocks, catching loads of box elder bugs, and Jane loves to throw rocks in the pond.

Here's Jane digging up the fungus and dirt. She likes to lie right out on her tummy to get the best angle to dig her little fingers into all sorts of little cracks and holes.


This photo is taken right outside the building where we meet for Church. This tree has been a good "learn-how-to climb-trees" tree-and very beautiful for the week or so it blooms. This year it bloomed and then it snowed and snowed. All the blossoms turned brown, as you can see.
