Snowed In

Well, the big highlight of this week was probably the huge snow storm that came in on Saturday.  Monica's sister, Michelle, came out to visit and was supposed to head home Saturday, but almost all flights got cancelled... fortunately they were able to get a flight today (Sunday), so they didn't have to live out of suit cases too much longer than they planned!

Earlier this week we finally got Brooke's Easter picture.

So there's that :).  Work was pretty good this week.  I got a lot of stuff done, and things were pretty busy.  For mutual on Tuesday night we did a Duty to God night.  We invited the parents of all the boys and we went over the Duty to God program, and what you have to do for it and stuff.  It was great, and I hope the boys enjoyed it and got excited.

Brooke got to spend some quality time with Andy this week.  They started off a little distanced.

But soon Andy was ready to read to Brooke!!

And then they were best buds.

Monica was grateful to have someone here to spend time with while I was gone all day.  While here they went to the park and the zoo, and probably many other things I didn't hear about.  But then on Saturday came the snow!!  We were stuck inside most all day.  Brooke enjoyed riding on dad's shoulders for the first time!

We borrowed child sized snow clothes from the next door neighbors.  They were a little large for Andy, but he was thrilled to get the chance to go out in the snow...

After some playing in the snow Brooke was just soooo tired! So we let her take a little nap.

Here is some aftermath from the snow storm.  There was about a foot of snow on top of the fence.

This weekend was also Stake Conference.  Our visiting authority got stuck in Vail on Friday night and the roads were closed... Fortunately they were able to get in by Saturday night.  The snow was bad enough that they broadcast the conference online, so we watched from home.

Today Michelle was able to get a flight out that wasn't cancelled, and I got her out to the airport safely.  Brooke was very playful today and was enjoying quality time with her giraffe, Sir Jeffers.

I think that's most of the significant stuff that occurred this week.  Things are going well here and it should be back into the 70's later this week, so the snow won't last long.  Hope everyone is doing great!!
