I was able to attend a play that Eden and her group of friends wrote. Last night their families were invited to come and see "The Color Family" which was definitely entertaining! Eden did a wonderful job and sang a solo in it. Graham was a wonderful addition when the girls invited him to participate as well. The evening was wonderful and I was proud of both of them for the part they played in making it a success!
Miriam has gone from a studio to a one bedroom apartment and it is looking great! Not only does she have a separate bedroom she now has a much shorter walk to her bus stop. It seems that Purrceptor is feeling right at home too!
In Owen's sermon today he spoke of the scriptures and reminded us that although they teach of other people stories they can become our stories as well. He reminded us that "The scriptures are our invitation to become a part of the story."
I have always loved history and I have to admit I learned things I had never known before. It is compelling and informative about various events from China not discovering the American continent to Ronald Reagan not being killed. It is definitely worth your time.
Congratulations to Jane! She tried out to be in the BYU orchestra and found out that she has been chosen to be one of the cello players in it for next year!
Today Ruth attended a production of Los Miserables. She told her mom "it was the most beautiful thing she has seen in her entire life!" Grandpa and I went to the Pantages Theater in Hollywood and saw it there. It was and still is one of my favorite memories.
Meg found a picture of her dad. And it really is her dad! She and Lij went to the BYU law school and while there she found a picture of the 1995-1998 law school graduates and sent it to me. And yes he actually had hair!
Today I received over 50 new pictures of Ruth's time in Spain. I'll only add a few for now and hopefully when she gets home and we have our family reunion she can show you more!

Duncan and Eden left on Tuesday for Moab Utah. They are rafting down the river, hiking, playing in mud and just having a great time. They will be back on Saturday.

As you have probably heard Aunt Becky's mom is coming to Illinois next month to live. Recently she went to Texas to help her mom get ready for the move. While there Aunt Becky brought back a cabinet that belonged to her grandmother. It needed some work but she got busy and refinished this beautiful cabinet. Now it is in their formal dining room.
