Mom's Posting Debut

Hi everyone. We're so excited that Mark put this blog together. We're getting settled here in Provo. We live about 100 yards up the street from Dave and Kat. We enjoy having their kids foisted on us frequently.

Dad put an "escape hatch" to the attic in the entryway and has been working on that as alternate storage. We see Amanda and Dan (and their extraoridinarily beautiful children)frequently as well. It's been snowing a ton here. Check out this photo of Matt shoveling:















We also have a visitor, Sister Vidoni, from Romania. She just finished a mission to Russia. She'll be here with us for as long as she feels like it, and her visa doesn't expire (probably a few months). She's a delight to have around and loves all the kids.





She's the one on the right, next to some other returned missionaries from Russia (Siberia - yikes!). Thus, she has no problem with all the snow.






Funny thing here is that Dad (Grandpa) is the one that hates the cold and the snow so much and he grew up in Pre-Global-Warming Idaho. What's the deal with that? This photo doesn't seem to reveal any shoveling "action". Perhaps he's studying out the best strategy.


So, here we are, having a good time and running the furnace a lot. We'd love any visitors or responses to our posts. We'll probably go to Texas to see James and Mandy in the next month or two (or three). Probably tack on a trip to California too. We'll see.

We love you all. I'm closing with a shot of me by our Christmas tree that was donated by our most dutiful youngest son.

Hi Grandma! Great to see you on the blog! Maybe you could tack on a trip to the east coast soon. I know a few people in Virginia and New Jersey who would love to see you!

This is Bob Emmett, friend of Mark Jr. Mark told me about the blog on our bike ride this morning. I can't believe he figured this out on his own. It seems like he just barely figured out how to use his cell phone - except for that pesky text feature.
