Blessing Day, an angel straight from Heaven

these shots make me wonder why I paid for the professional portraits...

More fun times

Grandma and Aunt Jessica came up to help with the kids and around the house (THANK YOU!) Here Grandma was indulging in a little story time with the kids and Megan appeared to be totally into it

We call this "Daddy's cozy spot". It always does the trick!

Sweet Brother

When we first got home, Jack wasn't as into holding the baby as Brianna was. But in a quiet moment when everyone was busy doing something else, Daddy caught big brother being oh so sweet.

VACATION

Old Faithful

Well, Matt and the "big kids" are off on their vacation. They flew out early tuesday morning, had a 3 hour layover in denver and then on to salt lake city. Matt is incredible. Two preschoolers, to carseats, two suitcases and two carry-ons. My props go out to him. He's got more guts than I do. He had the kid's on their little harness "leashes" in the airport so no one went missing. He said that he probably got a hundred "your brilliant" remarks about the leashes. I say that's better than a hundred "your crazy" remarks. They survived the airport experience and the kids were so excited that they got to fly on an airplane. Once they got to Salt Lake City, they spent the day visiting temple square and the conference center. Matt has my camera so I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures to post once they get back. They then drove up to Idaho and spent the night near rexburg (I think). Wednesday and Thursday they spent cruising around Yellowstone. They got to see old faithful, (I have 2 pictures matt sent me from his phone) several elk, buffalo, bears and squirrels. apparently there was a teeter-totter somewhere along the way as well. I myself can't wait to see the pictures. Matt says little Brianna has had to explain the story of her broken arm to strangers so many times that Jack's become her "voice" and explains for her when she doesn't like the attention. What's that? Brianna... shying away from attention... I never thought that could happen. Last night they drove into Casper Wy and today they will arrive at Martin's cove around lunchtime today. They will spend tonight, tomorrow and Sunday morning camping with all Matt's cousins at the family reunion dressed up in full pioneer clothing (well, not full gear, just as best a look as we could get). Sunday, after church they'll fly home and arrive in the middle of the night (1 or 2 am)
