A Double Celebration!

We celebrated both Mia's birthday and Steve's arrival to Europe in Vienna. Steve was waiting for us in our hotel in Vienna when we pulled up, late at night. The entire car load could not contain themselves! The kids hadn't seen their dad in almost three months and I simply wanted my husband with me! I am sure he felt an abundance of overwhelming love when we arrived!

Mia turned three the day before Steve arrived, but we didn't tell her. We waited for her big day until Steve could be with us to wish her a happy birthday. It was great to be a family again after nine months of living in different cities.

From a Different Perspective

Sophia "Mom, I have something to tell you. I have decided that I am going to become Catholic. I really want to light the candles. If Bishop Ainge or Bishop White will put candles in our church, then I will be Mormon. But if not, I am going to be Catholic."

Annelise (from the back seat, while helping me make a very tight turn) "Oh mom, you don't have to worry about the car over on this side. It already has some scratches on it."

Ezra (after watching me pay a $50 toll in Spain) "My favorite part of driving on the roads is paying the money to the people. When I grow up, I am going to be the man who takes all of the money. Then I will have lots of money!"

Sophia (In Siena's Duomo) "Can I please, please, please have a coin to light the candles?"
Me "These candles are only for Catholics to light."
Sophia "Well, where are the Mormon candles?"

Me "Okay. What did we learn about the Vatican? Who can tell me which Roman Emperor began the process of building it?"
Sophia "Hmmmmm . . . Andrew Jackson?"

Sophia "Look! We are above the clouds!"
Ezra "Wow! We are in outerspace!"
Sophia "No, Ezra, technically we are in heaven!"

Annelise "Oh Mom look! It's security. I love going through security!"
