The second weekend of September we traveled to Salt Lake City for my brother Jim's wedding. Kate and I left Thursday. We spent the next two days helping my mom get everything ready for the wedding luncheon they hosted, took care of all of those last minute helps for Jim, and had lots of fun with Uncle Jeff and Grandpa. Friday night we picked up Jason and Jackson from the airport. We stayed the next two nights at Greg's and Sally's home. Jackson loved playing with the toys there and saying "Nana sleeping" (Sally goes by Nana and the last time she visited Kansas I kept telling Jackson she couldn't go into her room because she was sleeping so now he associates Nana with sleeping). Saturday morning Jason and I went to the Salt Lake Temple to witness my brother and Sandy, his darling wife from Mountain Home, Idaho, be sealed for all eternity. It was a beautiful ceremony and I learned so much from the words spoken. After lots of pictures in the hot sun, we had a nice luncheon at the Grand America. Kate and Jackson had a nap (or rather Jackson napped while Kate screamed for hours...uh, she's a little pro-mom right now). We all went to spend a few last moments with my parents before we went back to Sally's and Greg's for a fun night of catching up and watching Perry Mason. Oh, I love that old show. Sunday, yes September 11, we flew home. It was a little weird to be flying on that infamous day and to land in Kansas City Airport where we later learned there had been a passenger who had not complied with TSA and had forced an entire terminal to shut down. Kind of scary. Jason then headed for Iowa to do some work and the kids and I headed back to Kansas City. We are so glad to welcome sweet Sandy to our family. She is such a beautiful young lady with lots of love for everyone around her. We look forward to getting to know her better.
