I LOVE SEPTEMBER

This is one of my favorite pictures of Andy with his dad about 25 years ago.
HAPPY BIRTHDAYS this month to Andy and Emily who turned six!

This was right after Emily had her hair done so pretty by her 2nd cousin, Lora Knight.

Bruce and I drove up to Washington (with Jared and Candace) for the 2nd time this summer for Joshua's baby blessing. Lee is the proud daddy and Karyn (the mommy), put on an open house afterwards at their house.

Thank you's to Deana, Savannah, Peyton, Shane, Shila, Alisha, Asher, and Ainsley, who came out to be with us! It was really great to see you all!

Grandma and Grandpa Howard love to hold our grandbabies!

Last weekend, we got together with Bruce's mom and his brother and sisters for a picnic.

Carolyn, his sister, and Craig drove to Utah from Florida to pick up their son,Nick, who has lived here for a few years and will go back home now.

Pat Merrill is Bruce's older sister who lives in Orem.

And Charlie is Bruce's older brother who also lives in Orem.

This is his mother who planned the party. It was good to see everyone. This summer has been a great one for seeing many of our family and it's hard to see it end. But we have some excitement coming next month because Sarah and her Ukrainian fiance will be getting married! Stay tuned!
