Arizona trip

Gavin and I recently headed to AZ for my grandpa's funeral. I was happy to be there with all ten of my siblings and some of their spouses. The funeral was wonderful and a great celebration of my grandpa's 90 years. I dare say it was the most pleasant funeral I've ever been to.

Gavin is a superstar on the plane and makes us all sorts of random friends at airports. Besides him getting off his sleeping schedule for a day or two, he really is quite easy to travel with. Good thing...we're headed to St. George this weekend.

Seven of the nephews...and yes, there are more!

Annie and Lynsey - The last two of the recently five pregnant sisters

Aunt Karyn and the sink bath (a nice transition tub)

Aunt Annie - always good at making Gavin smile

Grandma and Grandpa Woolf

Gavin and Uncle Matt

Gavin and Cousin Carson


As always, it's good to come home. There is just nothing like it.

I walked in to a vase of flowers and new lights above the sink. We've been wanting to do it forever... Sweet Brian surprised me. How cute is that?

Funerals can be "fun" if you are celebrating a long, well lived life. Glad you were able to go.
