Grandkids

 We got to spend a little time with Harlow on Saturday night.  We had dinner at a restaurant then spent some time at the hotel until Tony got a migraine.  Wendy put Harlow on a non dairy formula and she just perked right up!  She smiled and cooed and made us all feel so good.  Wendy loves her so much and that will be the best thing for her and is a comfort to us.  We wish she had a Dad who could be there for her, and hopefully someday he will be.   She's so sweet and tiny and we love her so much.

When we got home the Arslanians were here and we were greeted by wonderful Walter, Ayda and Zadferd hugs.  Those little kids have been so special to us and we are grateful to have continued time with them.  Zadferd is a chess prodigy and loved playing Tony.  I got a whole afternoon talking with Laiken and was especially happy to know that baby # 4 is coming.  Jon and Laiken are really good parents and I feel inspired to be around them.

On Wednesday Sam, his friend and I went up north for a University of Utah Athletic Department visit.  We know the assistant videographer, Ali Winters and she took the boys on a tour.  After the tour we ent to Sheels then Jake and Callie's.  We got more good news from Callie that baby #3 will be here in October, but that also means Callie is really sick.  It was so fun to see their new house and watch Jake be the leprachaun on St Patricks' day.  Green pancakes, a trail of gold rolos and green glow in the dark bath bombs.  I really wanted to help Jake and Callie and suggested I take the boys home with me for the weekend.  To my surprise they agreed!  

We had a great weekend that started with a hot air balloon landing in front of the house!  The boys watched from the big rock and were thrilled to get the stickers.  We went to the park, played in the sun, ate sugar cereal and churros and took lot of bubble baths.  It was pure heaven for me.  Henry was fascinated by the story of Jonah and my painted toes.  Ollie loved looking at bugs and tormenting Henry.  It was especially fun to have them at church.
