Poor, Sick Zerah

Poor Zerah has bronchitis--he had a really rough night on Saturday, and then a rough day on Monday. He just layed around all day. On the upside, he was extra cuddly...


No, these weren't posted in reverse order. First snowfall today, and the kids had a blast outside. Or so I hear. Zerah spent the entire time eating handful after handful of snow.

Caelyn, as is apparent, was excited. Snowballs and Scotty were two of the words I caught for sure.

Random, Recent Pictures

Since we don't have our own blog like everyone else...


Trying for a family picture--Julie won't let me use this one for the real thing, but I think it is awesome.


Sure, we put Caelyn to sleep on beds. But she prefers floors. So we put her to sleep on floors, but with a blanket and pillow. Apparently, she prefers sleeping sans blanket and pillow, under a cot, with one foot suspended in the fitted sheet above her.



The hair, as you've all seen (e.g., fairy princess curls) is definitely tamable. One of my favorite things, however, is how it can revert, if left untended, to a delightfully wild state. With this do, I think she could give Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix LeStrange, for the unaware) a run for her money.

Sunset at the Hula Grill


We thought you might enjoy this shot from our table tonight.

Thirtieth Wedding Anniversary






We were surprised and pleased to have a gorgeous arrangment of Hawaiin flowers delivered to our room after our walk this afternoon. We appreciate our thoughtful, generous children remembering us on this special day. Now we're trying to figure out how to take them home with us! We're having a wonderful time here. Dad went swimming in the ocean this morning and then we walked along the beach. Now we're working on Christmas cards in our room. Thanks again for your thoughtful gift!!

We found this picture of the younger family at the MTC. This was taken with mom's phone so the quality is not great but we are still happy to have found it.

Walking!
