Temple Trip

Our stake temple day was last Thursday, but it is always difficult to find childcare in the middle of the week. So Beth thought it would be nice if we all went to the temple as a family. We toured the visitor center and walked the grounds. Jose was very excited to see the temple for the first time. He was particularly interested in an exhibit of pictures called Reflections on the Life of Christ. While the other children played, he intently studied the pictures with Beth. He really wanted to go into the temple, but we weren't able to do that. The next night before bed Jose told me that he wanted to go back to the temple. I hope we have a chance to visit the temple together again.

Emma's New Talent

Emma recently took first place in high jump at the district track meet. She jumped 4'-7", which is only 3 inches shy of qualifying for state in high school. The amazing thing is that this was her first track meet ever. The high school coach was at the meet, and he told her that she jumps higher than any of the freshmen on his team. He also told her she had to join track. She will be jumping at the regional track meet tomorrow.
