Last Saturday my nephew, Noah, was baptized; my dad would not miss it. With some effort, my mom got him dressed and took him over to the church. Dad STOOD as a witness to the baptism and was in the circle for Noah's confirmation. What a neat experience this was to watch. We never would have thought 5 months ago that this would be possible. We are very blessed.
Two weeks ago our family had another scare when my father in law had a heart attack (while rollerblading). Luckily he was quickly taken to the hospital and had surgery to fix the blockage. All is well and Rich is doing great; he even got to witness BYU slaughter UCLA. Rich is such an amazing father and grandpa, we are thankful each day that he is in our lives.

It's so nice that you can live a few minutes away from both sides of the fam! I'm so sorry about your dad's stroke--our fam sure thought he was the funniest {insurance guy!} But hooray for all those miracles and blessings along the way! Give your fam our best. Hey, and so that we can make sure we keep in touch? Here's my email: toushay73@gmail.com. You look fabulous, girl! I need some of your youthful genes!
