...l...o...n...g jump

We've been to Nephi twice in two days.......it's spring.....it's track.....and this was region track....... We've never "done" track before, and I'm beginning to feel sorry about that. Daniel shows some natural talent and I wonder what he could have done in four years.......I'll never know...... He ran the 200m yesterday and "did" the long jump today. His longest jump was 17' 4 1/2". Sounds good to me, but there were some guys there jumping 19+!!!! It's just amazing to me! So here's my first and last attempt at photographing the long jump.........I'm so glad I tried!!! I love the intensity!!

...an even ten...

We blessed our tenth grandchild today...she also makes it five and five. A beautiful little girl, blessed with wonderful parents and attentive, loving brother and sisters. I was able to make another special dress! And I started early enough and stayed with it well enough that I was able to do all the embroidery I wanted/planned and still get to bed at a half-decent hour last night. 





And here's a picture of the darling what-cha-ma-call-it Michelle made for our front door. I love it!!! I should have got a closer picture. Michelle took this one--maybe you can see it well enough.
