Hey Fam!

We've had a good couple of weeks here. We loved our trip to Park City where we isolated ourselves from the house and the yard (along with the tasks that would beckon us there) so we could just do the conference thing. It was great. I have been volunteering to help with Mercedies kindergarten class each Friday morning- it's been good. It get to see her regularly, and get a hug in return.
On our way home from Park City we took the salt lake valley route and visited the 2 parks in SLC that feature the Wasatch fault line. Fascinating! That's the fault line going up over the ridge above my left shoulder there...
We also got to spend an evening with Evie - Fun! She kept us smiling every minute- busy, imaginative, and a little talker... I had a wonderful time with her.
We bought our airline tickets for our trip to Omaha coming up in November- it's hard to believe that Gretchen is turning 8- I'm very excited to see them all and to share Gretchen's special day. We have not spent Thanksgiving with Jen and Bry since Gretchen was brand new so we are looking forward to a fun Holiday, and a fun week. Hope everyone is happy and well- love to each of you!
