March 2016

...up in the air...


March 3rd - I sit at the Ft Lauderdale airport ready 
to board our first flight towards Seattle through JFK.
At the last moment Lane opted to join me for Tesila’s baptism.
The Hansen home is full of life and is always welcoming.

We reminded Violet that she has additional grandparents who love her.

Rockwell is warming up to the idea.

The baptism girl designed and created her 
dress with the assistance of her G'ma Hansen.  
Tesila has a special place in my heart.


Tesila ROSE Hansen

We had a wonderful whirlwind adventure with the Hansens.  
Chow darlings!  Flight home to Miami on March 7th.



Elder Hill returned home Wednesday, March 9th and 
Sister Hill opened her mission call that same day.  
She leaves for Singapore (English speaking) on July 13th!!!


Sabrina Edith H. arrives early - March 11th.  So I fly to SLC 
arriving on the 12th.  Sabrina is still in the hospital 
so I sneak in a visit to the Gerber's.  On the 13th I hear 
Robert's homecoming talk (one of the best I've heard), 
and I hug 25 outstanding g'kids...beginning with these four !!! 





Welcome Sabrina - such a sweet baby.  
This family is so excited to have her here.


Centerville: bogged down with a cough and congestion 
my time with Sabrina was limited. Rather, I spent time 
with the elder g'kids.  A hike, a playground, 'old mcdonalds', 
a chocolate factory, and Krispy Kreme.

Grandkid dates with Slater, Audrey, Adelaide and Emeline.




A visit from Greg, a lunch with my mother and 3 siblings and 
then I fly to Cedar City to await Jami and Chris' baby girl.


This is one of my all-time favorite afghans.  
Completed just in time.

I loved seeing my baby full-term.  
She is a great hostess and now ready to be a great mommy.

I whisper: "Come quickly baby.  I must leave for India on the 26th."
Chris was home on Sunday so I took time to visit the McArthur 
family in St George.  When I returned to Cedar City that evening 
Jami was in labor!  At 2 a.m. I joined the Robisons at the hospital 
as the photographer so Chris could support Jami and marvel at 
the miracle that is birth!  It's been 29 years since I witnessed a birth. 
It was tough watching Jami suffer yet she was incredibly tenacious 
through the process. 

March 21st.  Welcome darling granddaughter!






BONUS:  Jerry's family stops by to get acquainted with this new cousin.



Meanwhile... 
Lane is ably holding down the fort in Florida this week during 
stake girls camp...in Orlando. He's a rock star with the YW



Chris drives me to St George.
Ron and Phyllis Sue drive me to the Las Vegas Airport.
JetBlue flys me to San Francisco where Lane is 
waiting for me to join him on our flight to India.

Lane’s a peach.  He is smart, fun and cute.  
I don’t play the lottery because I already won it.
