A few weeks ago we took a day trip to Kirtland OH, a 3 hour drive from here. It was really cool. It was neat to learn what had happened in Kirtland while being there. For me it helps define what happened where. We saw the room that housed the School of the Prophets in the Newel K. Whitney store, and the rooms that were home for Joseph and Emma for a while. My favorite part was seeing the Kirtland temple. It isn't currently owned by the Church, so listening to their presentation was a little different, but walking into the temple was still a neat experience. It was amazing to think what had gone on there, and also sad to think that the early saints had to leave it all behind just to be taken over by others. After seeing the sites we got lunch and ate the best frozen custard we have found since leaving Nielsen's in Bountiful behind. Too bad we would have to drive 3 hours to have it again. I guess someone will just have to come visit, so we have an excuse to go to Kirtland again to see the sites and have some frozen custard.
We finally updated our family photos to include Savana. I was kind of waiting until she wasn't just a baby blob on my lap. She may still be on my lap, and has apparently decided that she is OK with that, I would actually be really surprised if she took her first step before 18 months, but she is far from a blob. She is fun. Canon is modeling his new backpack. He takes this back pack to his keyboard class that he is currently taking. It also has wheels so he pulls it along behind him. He is a cute kid. He can't wait to use it when he goes on the plane to see Nana and Grandpa.
