OMI WRITES: We had a lovely weekend with family. Friday late afternoon we drove to Adam and Jan's house in Cedar Hills. They took us to dinner at a Chinese restaurant (FONGS!) in Pleasant Grove and then we had ice cream cones (50¢ for a huge one) at a Macey's store. We visited for a while then spent the night at their house. We got up early and went to the Mt. Timpanogos Temple. Afterward Jan prepared a lovely breakfast and we visited a while more.

We drove up to the Salt Lake Valley and picked up Hilary then met the Daws at TGIFriday. After lunch we all drove to Gerlachs' to visit with them and Linzi, Evy, and Charlotte. I couldn't believe how much that baby has grown! She is a roly-poly little darling. We then divided up and Opa went home with Scott and the children while Brittany, Hilary and I went shopping for makeup for me. It was so fun to be pampered and cosseted by my girls! We had to hurry to get Hilary home in time for her writing group meeting.

Sunday we spent with the Daws, attending church with them and then cooking and eating dinner (delicious roast, rolls, potatoes and gravy, fresh-from-the-garden-spinach-salad, bacon wrapped green beans, and jumbleberry pie). So fun. We then drove back to the MTC in time for an inspiring fireside. Altogether a wonderful weekend.
