An Unexpected Trip



When Hyrum decided to make an early entrance, it was my privilege to fly to Arizona and spend a week helping out.  Although I would have preferred that Hyrum stay inside until his anticipated due date, it was a tender mercy for me to be able to spend time with my kids and meet my littlest grandbabies.  Here are some pictures from my trip.



First time meeting Lucy Anne 
Danny & Peter--look how he's grown!

Game Day with Ellie, Lucy, Elena, Sophie, Lincoln & Ollie

Kristi was an awesome hostess on her birthday!

Especially loved the birthday decorations--compliments of Ellie, Jack, Elena & Lily

Elena & Lily were excited to meet their new brother

Tom, with baby Lucy

Even if Christy's birthday was three days past, there were still gifts to open.

Self-explanatory--and they came out a few moments later with a matching sign for Jenny, who was celebrating in Tucson

Kristi made her own delicious dairy-free chocolate muffins!
