Happy Birthday to my baby girl (Leslie 25)

Happy Birthday Leslie dear on 03/07/09. We were so excited to get a sweet little baby girl in 1984. You were adored by all of your siblings, and still are. You are so sweet, beautiful, compassionate, loving and an all around good person. You are such a good mamma too. I only want the very best for you sweetie. I love you sweetheart and hope you did have a great birthday.

We are so excited to welcome our 13th grandchild to our family. We are so grateful she is here safe and sound. She is so blessed to come to a wonderful home with a family that loves her so much. Thank you Greg for letting me rob these from your blog.

California

I just had a fun week in California with my parents and with Lucy and family and also Bonnie and Bob came too with Kami and her two youngest.
It was wonderful to see mom and dad and I was thrilled with how good they both looked. This winter has been really hard on my parents because my dad has been really sick and in the hospital for a couple of months. It has been hard on my sweet mom to worry so about her sweetheart. It is so sad watching my parents grow older. I just have to remember that this is part of Heavenly Father's plan. I actually am quite excited for the time that we will all be together as a family for eternity. Randy and I have a bit of work to do first.
I had a really interesting experience on the jet traveling to San Diego. Just another testament to how family works on the other side of the veil. Thank you so much Melanie and Greg for making it possible for me to spend time with my family. I love you both so much and am so proud of your families.
