Back Home…Kind Of

We had an enjoyable trip home from Island Park and Yellowstone. Our first stop was in Rexburg to see the new temple.
We also spent a little bit of time in Idaho Falls. Our family lived in Idaho Falls when I was little, so we had fun going on a “this is your life” tour around the city. We also enjoyed walking along the greenbelt by the river and taking pictures of Idaho Falls temple.
We returned home from our trip just in time to run out of the house again for a couple of fun get-togethers! Saturday morning, the Jensen family (Aunt Jean and cousins Lisa, Deb, and Susan) hosted a shower for Frances and the babies. Even though it was a warm day, the Jensen’s yard was beautiful and shady.
We enjoyed a yummy lunch…

Quilted baby quilts…
Painted decorations for the nursery…
Did embroidery on burp cloths…
Had fun visiting with each other…
And watched Frances open all of her fun gifts.
As soon as we got home from the shower, Ryan and I joined Laurel (in town visiting from northern California, after recently returning to the U.S. from Korea) and Kristin and Abby for an afternoon of visiting and eating. It’s always so much fun to be with you two! Even when we go a while without seeing each other, it’s like we picked up where we left off. (Keeping up with each other on blogs helps!) We have been through so much together over the years. You know I love you and appreciate your friendship! And it’s fun that our kids enjoy each others’ company now!
