Generations.

We were able to spend some time with Willie's grandparents. It was fun getting a picture of the generations. We have Willie's grandpa Thede, dad Kim and then Willie and the boys.We don't get to see Willie's grandparents as much as we would like. We were excited to spend some time this holiday season with them. The boys had fun hanging out with grandpa and great-grandpa.I think the following picture is fun because they are all giving the same look. We just needed Willie in the picture, oh well.

A move back home?

We are officially homeless. We made the move back to Atlanta from Boston; granted nearly everything we own is in storage. We will miss those in Boston who have touched our lives. We learned so much from them and we are grateful for the friendships we have made. We thank those who helped us so much while we were there. All of the wonderful people in the photo below are those who were able to come help us pack up on a Monday night. Thank you Dan, Tim, Mike?, Chris, the Kang family and Bishop McKechnie with his girls. We have been blessed by our experience in Boston. We loved it so much that we hope that one day we can return. Who knew that Boston was such a spectacular place?
Day 1: The first leg of our trip took us to Flushing, New York. Willie's mission! Through facebook I spoke with Candy and we set up a gathering of those who Willie taught. I knew that Willie was extremely excited to visit his old stomping grounds. He was ecstatic about seeing old friends again. We had a great Chinese dinner. I even tried jellyfish. Chewy. Thank you for dinner our friends. Day 2: The second part of our journey took us to Washington D. C. We had hoped to stop in Philadelphia to visit a friend of mine but the circumstances did not allow such a visit. Bummer. We did get to drive through a big rain storm in D.C. where it took us an additional hour or two to get to our destination. We just happened to drive by the Temple so we pulled off the freeway to avoid some traffic and see a beautiful site.
We stayed with some of our old friends from Utah State/Boise. We had some fun with them. Thanks for hosting us.Piper was a treat. She and the boys stayed in one room together. We found out that Piper stayed up extra late working on a project. She found some baby powder and started distributing it to Parker and Lincoln, but first was her baby. Parker had a line of baby powder on his head. Lincoln was lucky, the powder was nearly gone when Piper got to him.
Her poor baby was received the first blow.We made it to Atlanta after another two days of travel. We stayed with the Merkley family. Thank you so much for letting us stay with you. We all got together, the Merkley's, the Salmon's and us. We let the kids go to bed and we stayed up enjoying each others company. After being friends for two years we finally have a group shot. I think it turned out rather nicely. Thanks for being our great friends.
p.s. this post is incomplete. I have forgotten a few things but one day I will hopefully write them down. :)
