THREE WEEKS

Saturday, April 18, 2009 to May 8, 2009 were three weeks of sorrow and joy for our family. There is solace in the love and support shared by everyone. I feel humbled and grateful for such a strong and beautiful family. I love all of you with all my heart.


Saturday, April 18, 2009: Amelia journeyed to Blanding with Hyrum, Noah and Olivia for a friend's reception. They stay for a week so she can attend the temple with Oleyna.



Tuesday, April 21, 2009: Brad, Jenn and Madisen come to Blanding to gather items from their shed. They picked up Dominik to go shooting before heading back home to Norwood.



Saturday, April 25, 2009: Grandma Dorothy died after having a heart attack. Amelia, Hyrum and Olivia stopped in to visit on their way home from Blanding earlier that same day.



Tuesday, April 28, 2009: "Cousin brothers" after Grandma's funeral and graveside services.

Little Timothy fell out of the truck onto his head at the cemetery, resulting in stitches and a visit to the hospital for a CAT scan. He is okay and healing quickly.



Friday, May 1, 2009: Fatima returns from Brazil where she had been spending time with her father, giving him comfort during his illness.




Tuesday, May 5, 2009: Kate Jennifer Perkins arrives. Perfect, beautiful baby girl with a very attentive, proud family watching over her.



Friday, May 8, 2009: Beloved father of Fatima, Pedro died in Brazil. Our love and prayers are with Fatima and her family.
