Short visit with Erin and Grandpa!

Aunt Erin and Grandpa have spent the last few days driving from Idaho to Utah to Wyoming to Nebraska to Iowa to Illinois to Indiana to Michigan to Ohio to Pennsylvania to Maryland to Virginia. Adding Michigan to their trip meant that they got to see us! (And it also meant getting stuck in traffic a few hours from here, but they are patient enough, and maybe we *ahem* the kids are worth it!)

They got in Sunday morning at about 12:45 AM. We went to a special stake conference with them Sunday morning after we slept for a few hours. The conference was on the UM campus in the Hill Auditorium, so we rode the bus there. Elder Bednar was there and it was a great meeting. Jacob was upset there wasn't nursery after we finished the closing song, and he made sure to repeat nearly every time someone said the word "testimony." He had speculated prior to the meeting that Elder Bednar would talk about "make good choices and trying to be like Jesus." We all shook hands with him after the meeting (minus Rebecca who fell asleep in my arms waiting) and I'm excited to tell the kids about it when they are older! Since it was Father's Day AND Jeff's birthday, it was fun to have people around to celebrate with us. Sunday night I drove them around and gave them a short tour of cool things on campus like the law library and The Cube and Erin got her picture by The Big House of course.

Thanks for coming to see us!

So happy after shaking hands with President Monson's friend Elder Bednar!

This one looked less blurry in B+W. :)

I said, "Do a monkey face!"

"At least the kids have the same expression," Erin said. This was the best one out of all the ones of Grandpa & kiddos. :)
