Serra V and I returned to Vegas yesterday evening with no mishaps on the highway. I really don’t like traveling alone and was a bit nervous, but we made it and are back happily with Brian. He sure missed his little one. He spent a lot of time last night and this morning talking to and invoking smiles from his chubby baby.
This past weekend marks one year in our home and 2 consecutive years in Vegas. Where does all the time go. We definitely have something to show for it though. We are very happy but know that we will only be here for a short time longer.
Anyway we really appreciate the hospitality of my family for letting us come and visit. It is always really nice to come home and be a kid again. Serra V. really loves all the attention too. The weather was delightful and Dad has done such a wonderful job with the outside that sitting out there is a real treat. It even smells good and with the bird feeders we really saw some interesting creatures. (Luckily we only heard the rats)
The cousins are so cute especially with baby Serra. Joseph likes to poke here in the cheeks and give her an occasional kiss, while Katrina just absolutely dotes on her. She even wrote a book for Serra. She asked me once if she could help Serra stand up. She is anxious for another little girl to play with I think. All in good time. Jacob has too much energy and mischief to get into, to be bothered with a baby, but he gave her a squeeze now and then. I really have an appreciation for what Liesl puts up with all day every day after we watch the kidlets while she and Gary went to the temple. Lots of fun but major energy and patience as well.

Glad you made it home with no mishaps…it was great having you home.
Not sure why but todays picture didn’t come through on your sight. We still can get the ones you put on here, however.
love you! mom
No photo’s are coming through, but I’m sure they are very cute. I’m jealous of your time home with the family. The photos you sent are adorable & have been passed through many hands who say “Is this (Katrina) your daughter?” If they could only see Liesl, they’d know that she is Liesl’s daughter. Thanks for sending them.
