Finally-Corey hiked the Y!

All the years at BYU Corey never made it up the hill to the Y on the mountain. So we rallied on Monday morning after conference and hiked to the top. A first for Emma and Megan as well!

Too Funny For Words....

Emma and Megan had no idea how much they would miss living together when Megan left for BYU. Each are fun and funny girls, but you put them together and it's insanity at it's best. They laughed non-stop the whole time we were together and it's entertainment for the rest of us. (I guess I'm running for Provo's City Council-there are Vote for Cindy signs EVERYWHERE!!!

We all left our hearts in San Francisco....

 

 

After our trip to Utah we couldn't wait any longer to go and visit our granddaughter. We got to spend 2 days taking turns holding her and loving her. She had already changed quite a bit from those first few days of life in the hospital.....so had Jana. They are both doing so well-she's such a natural mother and because of that, Lily is so content. We took a couple of outings-a walk down Irving Street so Emma could check out some great resale shops and had lunch at a yummy spot called the Crepevine. I'll have to make and blog some crepe recipes soon! Then we drove up from their apartment to Twin Peaks-it was a crystal clear day and the view of the city from there is amazing.

On the road again....

Jana insisted she was doing well enough for us to travel to Utah as planned to see the kids and enjoy General Conference. We all "camped out" at Erin and Chance's apartment-Megan has totally adapted to life at the Y and is loving each new experience. Even though it's a long way to travel, we are so so grateful our kids have chosen to attend BYU and receive their education there.

Lily Jane Eliason arrives!!!!!

 

 

 

We were woken up by a phone call at 4:00 a.m.on September 29th telling us that Jana and Joe were on their way to the hospital....Jana's water broke 3 weeks before her due date! I threw some things in a bag (no one told me to have my bag packed....) and headed over to San Francisco and arrived before the delivery. I was able to spend three blissful days holding and falling in love with Lily. It was truly a sacred experience.

Erin's Wedding Day....beautiful in every way

 

Erin has had quite a year.....

 

 

This year will be hard to top as far as exciting events happening in Erin's life.....Engaged in April, Graduated from BYU in August, married a week later, and started graduate school 2 weeks later! WOW!! We have all shared in each amazing event with such pride, and joy, and gratitude.
