July

My how the month flew by. We went to Utah to celebrate the 4th of July and Lucy's 1st birthday. She performed marvelously well. She shook her American flag during the parade and was in heaven the entire camping trip. She smiled and hugged all her birthday presents to show her gratitude. She is such a joy. While in Utah, I also got to take my sister Kelly to the MTC and spend some time with grandma Jackie. Kelly is going to Berlin Germany on Sept. 9th. Gary had some S&I meetings to attend and enjoyed meeting up with old friends that stayed in Utah for their assignments. It was a great trip, and we got home easily, and in time for me to go to girls camp. Camp went fantastic, the weather was awesome and so were the girls. Gary and Lucy played all week and he said he was a little jealous and could understand why some men want to be stay-at-home dads. I have had a little time to relax and am now heading off for youth conference. When I get back, Gary only has a week left until school starts. Boy will our sleeping habits change when he has to start teaching A hour at 6:30am each morning.
