The DROP OFF

The blessed day has arrived!

We dropped Tommy off at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. He gets to learn Portugese as he is ready to head to Brazil. His whole family is so proud of him and excited for all that he gets to do and learn. We now have an extra bedroom!! (Okay, Tommy, just kidding!)

Mt. Timpanogos Temple

What a beautiful day!! Today we went through the Timpanogos temple for the first time with our son Tommy. He is leaving October 23, 2009 for his mission to Curitiba, Brazil and this was the day he got to take out his endowments. We are so proud. All of the brothers and sisters and grandma and grandpa were there. What a wonderful day. And, as usual, Monica did a great job of babysitting many, many cousins at home while we were gone. No pictures yet - no one brought their camera out of all of these photographers!

We are Alive!!

We are here! We have created a blog - sort of.
