Hey, everyone! We got this last month and forgot to post it. Pretty impressive, huh?

Hi From Home

July 13, 2008

All is well here. Tyler and Dawn are enjoying baby Laurel. They aren't getting all that much sleep, but they love her. Dawn's Dad, George, and his wife, Sherrie, are visiting this week. They are staying in Park City. We will hopefully see them this week.

Alex is into his last month in the Thailand Mission. I'm sure it's not his last month in Thailand. He will probably visit it many times. We look forward to seeing him again. Tommy and his friends are coming to dinner today. If all else fails, we do have a crop of raspberries in the garden. I'm trying a new recipe from the newspaper for a top ramen salad. Apparently there are whole restaurants devoted to ramen now. This is a spinach salad with oriental dressing and crunchy fried noodles. We'll see.

We all hope Jenni and the boys are doing well. Where are Travis and Agata? Maybe he's on his way to the University. Danny is busy with deadlines at work. I think he flies to Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Last Sunday and Monday were unforgettable. We are grateful for Laurel and Dawn's safe journey. Write and tell me what you are doing, or call. We love you all.

Pictures of Laurel

Here's a picture of Dennis holding her in Ty and Dawn's backyard

She's not always so peaceful anymore. She eats, eats, eats.

No News Is Just No News

No baby yet. We could have driven to New York City and back. Jenni watch out. Nobody will take you seriously next time. Tyler and Dawn are going to the doctor at 3:00 p.m. Maybe she is in silent labor and he will admit her and deliver immediately. We are going to meet her parents tonight and have Chinese food. I'm looking forward to that. Tomorrow is a barbecue at Kaslikowski's. I'm making Cuban black beans and we will undoubtedly grill something. And eat watermelon. I love good watermelon.

Travis has left for Europe. He has a layover (one hour) in Amsterdam, then on to Poland. I think Agata has probably left for Poland after spending one week in England. Jenni is packing up for camp. Danny is working every minute so that he can drive her and the boys. Tommy is enjoying summer at BYU and working at the Ad Lab (details please, Tommy) Alex has a new companion and a birthday coming on the tenth of July.

I'm taking yoga classes in Draper. Didn't know I was so out of shape. Dennis is busy and happy at work. Things are going pretty well there. His department has proven to be very valuable. We worked so hard on the yard and the flower beds, and now the intense heat is blasting everything. I'm a little tired of hearing about saving gas and water. I think we could water everyday. I just want to say that I remember this recession and the green trend in the late 70's and early 80's. Maybe the two go together. I thought it was serious then, but it appears to be a pattern. Followed by big hair and shoulder pads and loud shirts. Excess follows denial. Maybe. We'll see. I read an article in the paper on "hyper-miling", the game of saving gas. Hyper-milers drive 65 mph or less, and do a lot of coasting to stops and into driveways. They can up their mph by about 5mph by driving this way.

Take care. Read political cartoons. Sometimes they are really funny.

Love, Mom

Happy Birthday Tommy

Here's one of my favorite pictures. Kids are great!

Tommy is a wonderful photographer.

School picture, 4th grade I think, and baby shot. He always looked like he was up to somethin'. Below is a photo of Tommy and Travis. I finally figured out the only way to take a studio photo of Travis was to have Tommy in the picture. Travis' face is proof that learning to walk is dangerous.

Happy birthday, Tommy! We love you.

Happy Birthday to Travis

Jenni and Oli and Jak on the porch the night before they left SLC. Jak has a sock on his nose. Now we know for sure he isn't adopted. Happy Birthday to Travis who is too busy today to notice it, but wasn't too busy to go on a wonderful Memorial Day visit to G-pa and G-ma's with us. We had so much fun. We've gotten used to seeing Oliver and Jak and Jenni and Danny regularly. We won't see them for two months, but August should be fun. Thanks everyone for the great times together. We love you!

Happy B-Day to Travis

We spent a lot of time by the hammock, and in it.
