Whew.....

...it has been an eventful few days jam-packed with lots of family fun with both of our families and has brought to my mind the reality and the beauty of adding a new dimension to both our lives. I started out by seeing Emily and George with their cousins Sophie, Josh and David perform in the musical "Titanic" out at the Tuacahn Theatre, one of my favorite places to watch plays....and they did a fine job. I so enjoyed watching them perform with confidence and joy. These kids have had such an amazing opportunity with their Aunt Jan and Uncle Andy Hunsaker as the directors out there. They will be sorely missed. I hope George and Emily will continue to pursue their love of theater. They are both "naturals".

Then to Salt Lake where we got to visit Traci and the boys....it was great to be on Temple Square again and see the tulips. Just had to have a picture in front of the Church Office Building where I served my mission 6 years ago.

Next, on to Pine Valley to work on the Reber property in preparation for our big day in a few weeks. We got there a little late for most of the work but enjoyed the crisp air and beautiful surroundings.

A few rides on the Rhino, exploring the creek bed down in the meadow, sitting by the campfire and enjoying a "perfect S'more"........

...and it's never complete without trying out the zipline. Still in fine form.

 Always fun to see Josephine in her element. She is so very talented and loves to spend hours doing her embroidery. As much as we all miss Spence, we know he is with us in spirit as the family opens up his beloved  "Shangnau" (named after a village in Switzerland that is close to their hearts) for the season.
