It is a quiet Sunday afternoon...Kim is resting, McKenzie is sleeping and Melia is watching "Over the Hedge" We went to church this morning. They have the gruesome start time of 8:30 am....Treven, Kim, Melia and McKenzie lasted through Sacrament Meeting then went home. I stayed for the rest and had a nice walk home. Their church is only about four or five blocks away.

This has been a pretty quiet time for me...as I told Kim, I came to help and be a grandmother...not to be entertained. We've done some organization stuff and sorted her baby clothes...including spit up stain removal. Yesterday, we went to Idaho Falls to make a trip to Gap with the discount coupons and to go to dinner at Johnny Carino's...one of Kim and Treven's favorites. Thanks, Brent, for getting the coupons.

Yesterday, Kim and I each got a copy of Breaking Dawn...Martha called yesterday and said that that is probably the reason that our blog has been so dead lately. I think it is more that we have generally been together with various members of the family. I know there have been several Vancouver get-togethers..and then Anne and Peter were over here week before last.

McKenzie is an exceptionally good baby. Only waking up once or twice a night and going right back to sleep after nursing. She rarely cries. I think the Lord knew what kind of baby that Kim needed!! Not that any of us need a fussy baby but Kim will be starting student teaching on the 19th so it is immensely handy that both of her girls are so good.

I will be flying home late Thursday afternoon. It's been great being with Kim but I am ready to get back to my own schedule in Vancouver...and obviously back with Dad. After almost 39 years of marriage, I think we are both a bit lost without the other.

Not too much else to say...thinking of Tom and Tracey. I heard that they got their express stuff the other day. It must make life a bit easier! And things seem on track again for the Monterey plans for Mike and Brooke. I've always wondered why we have to have so much excitement in our life. It would be so much easier if things all worked out the first time!

Love to all,

Mom
