Thanks for all the new postings. The flowers are beautiful. Thanks for the Temple Open House info and thank you Sherri for the picture of the McGrath girls. I haven't ever seen that picture either. And thank you for posting pictures of Sarah's family. Her girls are too cute and that Samuel weighing in at just over 9 lbs., that's a good sized boy. It's good to see pictures. Love everyone and thanks again for the postings.

Thanks Sherri,
For the news of your new grand son. It still over whelms me that those little people that we used to know are now mothers and fathers. It really brings it to reality that I'm getting old.
Also thanks for sharing the picture of the McGrath girls. I've never seen that picture before. Yes today is Evelyn's birthday, it doesn't seem possible that she has been gone over 6 years. She would have been 69 today.
I hope to put some pictures and information about the Gila Valley Temple up on the blog,but I can forget how to post pictures as fast as someone can teach me. So if you don't see them, I still have forgotten how.

Samuel Dane Swank
I'm announcing the arrival of Samuel Dane Swank on Monday, March 22, 2010. He arrived weighing just over 9 pounds and was about 21.5 inches long. He joined the happy family of Adam, Sarah, Anna and Mariah, although right now the girls think he is mostly a nuscience!
I was able to go to Washington on the morning of March 23rd and I just arrived back home today, April 10th. What a marvelous treat. Of course, I didn't want to leave them but I'm not only exausted! but am miles behind with my work AND I missed Alan and Nate. :) I'm including a couple of pictures of Samuel and one of Sarah and the 3 kids.
