Father's Day in Pandemic Era

We've been together a long time - and one of the greatest blessings in our lives is our kids, spouses, and grandkids.

 

Grateful when Bonny found Bruce - and so thankful for their 4 lovely daughters - and almost 2 sons-in-law.

 

Plenty of Harrys to go around! 

 

Phoebe found David - the best - and this sweet baby is doing MTC at home - and is doing a great job!

 

Eliza and Matt are a great team - and we love all the Selander kids - and miss them!

David is a GREAT dad - always ready to instruct!

 

We love Robbie - and miss seeing Hannah and the kids too  - miss not being able to go to France too!

 

Noah and Taylor make a great team - and Keesa, Francis and Lee are stellar teammates!

 

Harry continues to do Sunday dish duty - in fact in these pandemic days, he does dish-duty every night!

 

There have not been sleepovers for awhile - but Grandpa Bob stories continue to be written!

Harry is a great dad - as are the wonderful fathers of our grandchildren!

Happy Father's Day!!

Oh happy day!

Happy Birthday Lars!

When he was a small baby, he came with his mom to visit California and meet baby Jonah. Baby Jonah was not expected to live very long, so his Aunt Eliza wanted to be sure to meet him.

He stayed pretty quietly in his car seat and didn't disrupt things. He has proven to be a child who can make his presence known  - but a special spirit was with him during that visit.

A special spirit is still with him - and we are so grateful!

Enjoy your day and the year ahead!

Catching up!

53 years ago on the 10th, Harry returned from his mission. It was a quick, crazy summer - and we got engaged!

 

29 years ago on the 10th, Pop died. He had Parkinson's and Alzheimer's and it was hard to see him go - but we knew he was at peace - so we worked at finding peace too.

 

June 6th was the anniversary of D-Day - and Ernie's 80th birthday!! Everyone loves Ernie - I'm happy we are still in touch.

 

Esme graduated - was a valedictorian and graduated with honors - she is off to the BY as my Great-aunt Elsie used to say.

 

Eve graduated too - Gold Seal - and is headed to UC Santa Cruz - hopefully the pandemic will let her get there.

The pandemic goes on and on.  The protests go on and on. It is a tough time - a slow time - a worrying time - a missing time - I hope it resolves itself soon.

But I don't think it will!!

Happy 5th to Francis!

Pandemic restrictions said no party at the park, but how about a parking lot party??

Fun for the birthday boy!!

 

A Mimi Cake for Francis!!

 

Seems incredible that 5 years have gone by - and this sweet boy is still the best boy!!

Here's to a great year ahead - it can only get better, right??
