Grandparents Weekend

Our friends the Helbigs were sealed in the temple this weekend, which gave us the perfect excuse to visit Dayton. Clayton went to the sealing on Saturday while the girls and I hung out with Nana and Abba. 


I’m always really disappointed in the quality of the pictures that my phone takes. Aren’t iPhone supposed to have good cameras in them? Mine stinks. Oh well.


Anyway, we had a great time. We watched the scariest movie ever called Split. It’s about a guy with split personality disorder. Absolutely creepy. We also watched a movie called Gifted, about a guy who gets custody of his niece. It was cute.


The weather driving home was awful. It tacked an extra hour into our drive. Luckily Ruby and Cora fell asleep the minute we started driving away from the house, and they went straight to bed as soon as got home. Those girls were tired.

First Day of Kindergarten

Cora and Ruby were so excited for school to start today. They woke up extra early thing morning and came into my room with their uniforms already on. We made German pancakes for breakfast, during which Cora spilled some syrup on her shirt and had to change it, and rode bikes outside to burn off some extra energy.  I just dropped them off at the school! The high school football team was waiting outside the elementary school (the high school, middle school, and elementary school are all on the same campus and share a parking lot) and formed a human tunnel for the kids to run through while they shouted “welcome to school!” It was cute. Ruby and Cora both ran through went straight to class without a single tear or complaint. In fact they didn’t even turn around to wave goodbye 😢. Now it’s just Darcy and me at home all afternoon.

We booked flights that night and flew to Utah the next morning. We were picked up from the airport and drove straight to the hospital where Kathy had been for several weeks. We had been getting updates about her from the family ever since she was diagnosed with brain cancer last October, but there was always a disconnect since we live so far away. We were never there to watch the progression of her sickness, and we think the family may have been downplaying how severe her symptoms and complications were. When we came to her hospital room she was in a coma and was having a lot of difficulty breathing. She had contracted pneumonia and had been in a comatose state since Monday. The doctor's had her on the strongest antibiotics they had, but it was going to take 2-5 days for them to kick in. In the mean time
