We were delighted when Jean Rose and Deb Clark came out to visit us two weeks ago. Tad and I worked with them very closely as AmeriCorps volunteers in 2001-2002 in the Albany, NY area. We absolutely adored our time working with them but had been unable to go visit, so they traveled all the way to SLC to see us and meet our kids for the first time. We showed them around the city, the canyons, and various fun restaurants. Thanks so much for coming, you guys.
Last weekend Emerson celebrated his fourth birthday. He had an awesome rocket party with egg (planet) dyeing, rocket cookie frosting, and fun rides in his seven foot-tall, red cardboard rocket. He got so many wonderful gifts that I think we'll have to build another room onto our house! He's very excited to be such a big boy, but his parents aren't quite ready for it.
Stella started asking me "WHY?" a couple of weeks ago. If I ask her to stop doing something, she looks at me, scrunches up her face, and asks the dreaded question in a sing-song voice. She's also started asking, "happened?" when something happens to me -- but she only does it if she can put her face right up to mine.
