Neil's family visited for the weekend and it was so fun to have them. They are always interesting to talk with. We all went on a hike up Oak Creek on Saturday.
Sheryl was here helping Jessica with her newborn. Jessica worries about lots of things, but she'll be a fine Mom and Sheryl a fine Grandma! A new generation is born!
Brenda came with her girls in time for Senior Primary. She and Sheryl and Maia and Sydney sang a new song for the kids--"Gethsemane." It was beautiful and the kids learned it easily after their demonstration. And my pianist picked it up fast too after hearing me play it for them.
We had a family dinner and as usual I didn't set enough places! It was a "borrow your neighbor's card table" sized party. This was Jessica's and Quin's first outing. There were two babies there--Quin and Joseph. It's amazing how much growth occurs in the first six months!
We celebrated Quin's arrival and Sheryl's 45th birthday. Brenda made a special cake for it. The top square was gluten free but it was absolutely delicious. It had honey and coconut oil in it. Plus it was beautiful. So is Sheryl in this picture.
At the end of the party the Brewsters were the last the leave and Michael couldn't find his shoes! They must have walked off. Does anyone know of their whereabouts? After searching everywhere, Grandpa finally gave him a pair of shoes he wore as mission president but that still have some life in them!

I'll bet Gid put them some place special.
Wait, you didn't tell him about the Olsen tradition of burying the new father's shoes in the garden so he wouldn't go wandering?
OK, so it turns out they look something like Erik's. I have at least one of them. Once we're done unpacking I'll let you know whether we have the other...
it was a great birthday party for me and "welcome to world" for Quin. After a VERY long day of travel on Monday, I was happy to return home, but miss my oregon family! Do grandma's get post-partum depression?
