A Day of Rest

Church was first thing and getting ready as all of you parents know is no small task. We attended the local branch and pretty well filled it to capacity. David was successful in spreading Cheerios around the entire chapel as he roamed from one family member to another. We came home and this is what we did...

Olivia was so fascinated by William. She has been asking her Mom for a baby sister.

Don't be frightened just bendaroos! We found David a top this bunk bed more than once. He wanted in on the fun that the big boys were having up there.

They saw a lot of each other this summer but this is the first photo to prove it!

It may look like we didn't do much but Grandpa Kent gave a little fireside and we had a lovely dinner of pulled pork sandwiches courtesy of Nadia and Spenser. After that there were still individual family photos to be taken (thanks Amy!) and our favorite--chocolate fountain. We are lucky that Thomas asked about having it and Spense and Nadia didn't mind bringing it along.

The bounteous and wonderful fountain. Aren't we glad there was a very large second kitchen?!

This is something else to add to the list of things David missed during the trip. I am a little bit of a bed time nazi I suppose. He would have loved it I'm sure. But I think Zach made enough mess for two one year olds.
