The reason this blog was started was to stay in touch better with our daughter Melissa who is studying in Europe for the semester. As we have communicated, she continually reminds us that we have not stayed up to date with our postings. Part of the diliquence is due to camera problems. I think the pictures add a needed dimension to a blog, therefore I haven't posted anything until now. I will have to update the blogs when pictures are available.
The first week in March we went to Rexburg to visit our daughter Sunni and her family and to participate in a baby blessing of our newest granddaughter, Kobi Jane Lewis. As grandparents we could not be more pleased with this precious baby or her parents who love her and have welcomed her into their home and family.
This month we celebrate 30 years of marriage. Some days it seems only yesterday this young, and madly in love couple, went to Idaho Falls to start their lives together. As we do some simple celebration we hope our camera is working so pictures can tell the story.
Tucker is busy in sports. On the 6th of March he participated in a school district jump rope contest. He made it into the finals for 5th grade boys doing the backward speed skipping. He was pleased he made it that far. On the 13th and 14th he played in a basketball tournament in Nampa. The team did average winning two games and losing two games.
Recently Sunni sent a link to a very informative talk giving by an economist, who is of the Catholic faith, who spoke to students at BYU. I am hoping the link pastes in ok and there is no regulations preventing this: http://speeches.byu.edu/?act=browse&speaker=Brooks%2C+Arthur&topic=&type=&year=&x=10&y=4. It is worth the 35 minutes to review and listen to.
