Moving the Kids

In August Chris and Jenny moved to South Pasadena to begin classes at USC dental school! It was a happy and sad day when they moved out of our Mesa home and off to California. Emmet and Emery LOVE Chris and Jenny - we are excited for Chris and Jenny to begin this new chapter of their lives. Ken and I helped drive one of their cars and help move them into their new apartment. It was a fun but quick trip. Then Chance and Angela were able to move out of their studio apartment in downtown Chicago and into a bit larger apartment in Bucktown. Hopefully Angela will have a bit shorter commute and they will have a bit more room. Although, as you can see, their bedroom is a tad tight! They have a great attitude and are a darling couple. We were sad to see them move, although they are only a few miles away.

Trip to Culpeper, VA

Kathy and I took a trip this past week to Culpeper, Virginia to check on the Olson family farm. We call it a farm because we don't know what else to call it. It is 167 acres of forest and cleared land in the beautiful area of Culpeper. As part of the trip we went to Montpelier (James Madison's home) and to Monticello (Thomas Jefferson's home) in Charlottesville. The day we left for home we had a couple of extra hours so we made a quick trip through DC and out to the temple where we were married 33 years ago. Also posted is the Virginia home where I was raised--I kept the yard in much better shape when I was in charge of mowing it.
