We are convinced that one of the sweetest gifts of this life is the gift of grand daughters. We just finished two weeks of beautiful experiences with them. We got permission to fly to Portland for Layla's baptism and confirmation. It was wonderful! The extra treat was that Josh, Krista, and Claire were there also from Edmonds to spend time with us too! On the way back home, on our layover in Oakland, Rebecca, Eliza, Noah, and Henry picked us up and took us to picnic lunch at a park near the airport. So in 3 days, we got to see all but two of our grandchildren. We were embraced by the love of our family.

Two days later, Eliza, Samantha, and Kaitlin came here to spend three glorious days with us. We swam in the ocean (including Grandma), walked on the beach, saw Polynesian dancing, toured villages at the Polynesian Cultural Center, took a sunset cruise, went to the Temple, shopped at the swap meet and basked in the love, the giggles, and singing of the girls. We love our family so much and cannot wait to see the rest of them soon.

We teach about 17 16-17 Year-Olds for Sunday School in our Tongan Ward. Here is a picture of about 1/2 of them during our class. It is the highlight of our week and we love them.
