Day 316 - Tuesday, May 9, 2017
This is Isaac.  He is our oldest grandchild.  He is a great big brother, athlete, piano player and scholar.  He has accomplished a lot in 11 years.  A bright future lies ahead of him as he prepares to receive the Priesthood.  He is his mother's best helper and favorite son.  He is his dad's pal and co-adventurer.  We look forward to spending more time with him in the upcoming year.  Although we are 3 days late in sharing this, happy birthday Buckwheat! We sure love you!

Smith nicely sums up our feelings about these splendid saints, "Gratitude is said to be the memory of the heart."  We will never forget them and how they served us.

Day 378 - July 9, 2017 The next 24+ hours was spent on the road, catching a few hours sleep, Church in Cheyenne, Wyoming and more time driving and experiencing the landscape of the west and midwest.  My instagram post was, "Same moon; different hemisphere.  Still magical." #goinghome #chicagoland #nextadventure
