So Kenyon and family have been living with us since February and will be with us until July. His dad has an internship at Notre Dame this Fall for a year, and their townhouse in Provo sold, so we get the fun of having Kenyon wake up every morning at our house asking for Gama and Papa…oh, and sometimes, pancakes! He is learning to talk and is a little parrot as he tries to copy everything we say.
My last child is now minus his wisdom teeth…6 kids down…no more to go! Wahoo!
Loren and Anne took a business/vacation trip to Las Vegas for a few days and Kenyon came up to stay at Grandma’s for a few days. We had a lot of fun together…he especially liked taking baths in the kitchen sink!
After 4 months, still no visa to Peru. So disappointingly, Elliot was reassigned from the MTC in Lima Peru to the Provo MTC. We decided to just be grateful that he wasn’t asked to wait 6 weeks before reporting! The crazy/hard thing is that his girlfriend, Kelsey, as a missionary headed to Argentina, entered the Provo MTC the same day and within hours of being there their paths crossed! Hopefully they won’t see each other too often! 🙂
The initial report is that Elliot is doing great and enjoying the MTC and his new companion. Â Of course we miss him, but are so proud of him for being willing to serve his Heavenly Father by sharing the gospel with others.
As a fun new project Phillip has written two poems set to video. The one about horses he did for school and enjoyed it so much he decided to make another one. He asked me for some of my sunset pics…I love it!
David and Debbie Gutierrez are our good friends from Arequipa Peru. David is in fact originally from Cusco Peru. We decided that before Elliot left for his mission we needed to sit down to dinner together and hear all about Peru. They still have family in Cusco and are so excited for Elliot!
Claudia (88 years old this June) got to meet Kenyon for the first time today. Claudia married Floyd Breinholt as his second wife in 1975. Floyd Breinholt is father to my mom, Karen Breinholt Morgan, who is my mom and of course, I am mom to my son Loren who is father to little Kenyon.
Look what I bought at Reams for $1.69 apiece last week….
The kid has 4 teeth and chews on everything in his hands including your finger if you let him hold it! Small brag moment… I made both of the blankets he is so enjoying during the nap below! They are “grandma blankets” that I have fun using every time he comes.
