A week in Utah
















I was so excited to fly to Utah to spend a week with Nathan and family. I got to play with the kids, do some cooking to put in their freezer, go to Lily's Ballet class, go to Nathan's school production,go to the BYU Art Museum and see a big painting of Nathan etc. But my main job for the whole week was to hold Baby Oliver--he is so beautiful--as you can plainly see, and I never tired of holding him and admiring him. We also got to spend time with Kristen and Ben, Dylan and Kaci. We even got a glimpse or two and Andrew and his friends who were in Utah for conference and to see some concerts. On Sunday,October 12 was Oliver's blessing day. Nathan gave him such a powerful and tender blessing. I am so glad I was privileged to be there.
When I flew home on Monday, I got in line to chick in and the person right in front of me was Carol(she had been in Rexburg for Mothers' Week)I was just a coincidence that we were right in line together.
It was such a great week--I am so blessed!
