Sister's Weekend

My mom had a great idea a while ago to have all of us get together sans hubbies and kids. We finally got our sisters' (and mom) weekend together and all met in Salt Lake. We spent the weekend:

•  weeding at the New Roots Refuge Garden, a project that helps refuges use their native skills to support themselves. We met a great guy named Frederick from Burundi who told how excited he was that the garden has made it possible for him to pay his own electric and phone bills. 
• doing a live session at the SLC temple.
• eating yummy food
• shopping!!!

•  visiting with my Grammy and Grandpa. I got to introduce them to Vienna. They were impressed by her pilates moves (she's always holding up her head and her feet while on her back.)

• attending the Relief Society Broadcast at the Conference Center.
• holding our own book club. We read Corrie Ten Boom's Tramp for the Lord. Plenty of good stuff to discuss.

I am very grateful to Branden for holding down the fort while I was gone. It was a really nice break and chance to hang out with my favorite women. Plus Vienna was pretty much an angel baby on both plane rides and while being carted around everywhere. She only had a really hard time on the 3 1/2 hour drives to and from the airport. :)

Thank you Mom and Sisters for a wonderful weekend!
