Well...having already been in southern Utah for an entire week, job shadowing a dental hygienist, helping my mom spring clean her house, ending up sick with some crazy flu on Sunday and Monday, thinking every waking moment about how long our grass was getting, and feeling like Grayson was distracting my folks from their 'California friends', I wasn't too hip on sticking around for several more days. So I bought my dad a couple of bananas and hung his jeans out to dry in exchange for him to fire up Josh's Pathfinder we keep down there and check the tire pressure for me. After a small hiccup involving expired plates, Grayson and I finally headed home yesterday afternoon. We did stop in at the Cedar City PF to catch lunch with Karynn, her son Kiel, and new sweet baby girl Kierstyn. (Ha Karynn, I just realized I got all the K's in your family at lunch that day!) I'm so glad we did because that's the first time I've seen Kierstyn in real life and holy cow she's so cute!
Grayson thinks he's so big and it just cracks me up. Whenever he sees 'babies' (which includes toddlers that don't respond to him the way he thinks they should) he kind-of pats them and caresses their arms/hair/face and makes cooing sounds the way mommies do when they're showing their kids how to pet animals. So yeah, basically he pets them like they're animals. Kierstyn is not loving it.Anyway, lots and lots to do (just took 11 mins to get alla the pics off one of our cameras) but for now I'm going to go fall into my nice warm bed with its fresh-from-the-dryer sheets and pillowcases and fall asleep to the sound of the rain that's falling outside. If only Josh were here...

[My] Clean sheets and finished laundry are two of my very favorite reasons to come home!
Wow! That's quite a lot of travel. But it sounds like such fun. And thank you for voting!

That totally made my day. Thanks.
I LOVE how Grayson thinks he's one of the big kids. Alexander has always had fun playing with him. That's a little unusual for him. He usually doesn't get along with his cousins until they're about two. I guess Little Mr. Personality Gottwald works his charm on everyone.
I'm so glad you stopped by in the midst of your whirlwind. Guess what? I lost the SD card that had all the pictures I took. :-( Glad you posted this so I can save it! Thanks again for coming - your life is insane! I guess you better get all you can in before school starts, huh?
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
