I had a great weekend last week. I was able to visit all three of my kids in the west and even hold this adorable little boy! Clarke, now nearly eleven months old, is doing really well--he started crawling over a month ago and has figured out it's a great way to get where he wants to go. He can stand by himself (usually leaning against the couch). He is completely social--he has this same big smile even when he's completely exhausted (like he is here) and loves to wave and "talk" to everyone he sees. Church is a huge social activity for him. He couldn't possibly sleep and miss out on all that fun, even though it's in the middle of nap time.

Alex graduated in April and he and Maggie are loving their new home and graduate program in the northern part of the state. Their townhouse is so cute and pretty roomy considering their housing at BYU. I was surprised at what a wonderful city they're in. It's completely adorable and has everything they need.

Summer is enjoying her second year at BYU. She came home from spring term (mostly because she knew how sad I would be if she didn't) and returned for summer term. She is working as a Peer Mentor, taking classes to prepare her for entering the Economics program and teaching Relief Society. With the announcement yesterday about sister missionaries being able to serve at age 19, she is looking at her plans to see when she would like to go.

Sabrina graduated in April as well and stayed in Provo to look for a job in education. All I can say is she has a lot of faith. Her miracle happened when she was able to land a position teaching First Grade Portuguese Immersion at the cutest school in the Alpine School District. She's loving it, although it's an enormous amount of work. She's also serving as her ward Relief Society president so she has her hands full.

Here are some pictures from graduation. What a wonderful celebration!

Life has been very good to us. We are so grateful!
