Family Togetherness

Afton and Hallie

We have enjoyed having Ryan and Mary Ann here for four weeks while Ryan is auditing Questar here in Salt Lake City, Utah.  He has been super busy though and works many long hours.  We did get together for a Sunday dinner with the whole family including the two newest granddaughers on Jan16, 2011.  What fun it is to have the whole family together.  The three grandsons have the most fun.  They just loves playing with their grandpa.  We are missing Dave because he was taking the picture.  Thanks Dave!  Carly is holding the newest little one, Hallie.  Jackson, Grant and Dayton are enjoying the new quilt Shane and Kim made for their baby.

Jamie and Dave had their baby! Hallie Ann Harper was born Jan. 6, 2011 at 2:55 p.m.   She was 8 lbs. 12 ozs and 20 inches long.  She has lots of dark hair and a just a darling baby.  Jamie invited Melinda and I to be there for the birth.  It was very special to involved in the wonderful process of birth. Jamie did so well and I was amazed at how nice the labor was with an epidural.  Melinda's nursing instincts kicked in and she was interested in the whole process.
