We have visitors as well and that's keeping us busy. A wonderful lady that Jay baptized on his mission, Bev, and her husband Max are here in Utah for a visit. They charmed the socks off the kids immediately by presenting them with gifts from Down Under. The boys received shirts and balls from some sports teams local to Brisbane (the Lions and the Broncos - I think they play Rugby and Austrailian Rules Football, but I'm not sure) and Tessa has a stuffed wombat and a stuffed koala bear to add to her menagerie that accompianies her to bed at night. Today we went to Deseret Book and the Distribution Center; unfortunately we didn't make it to Walmart (which Max is interested to see - I'm afraid that he's going to be disappointed in his shopping there but I'm trying not to ruin this quintessential American experience for him). Later this week they are going to head down to Salt Lake City for a few days to do the LDS thing - Temple Square, the Family History Center, etc - and then they'll rejoin us for the weekend. So far it's been a lovely visit; they have grandchildren so they aren't annoyed by the kids antics, which is good because there are lots of antics going on around here at times.
Anyway, that's what we've been up to. The boys both started soccer - finally! Last Thursday evening we sat shivering in a cold rain while William played, but by Saturday it was bright and sunny and beautiful. William's team lost on Thursday, but both boys' teams won on Saturday so they were happy.
We also got a new video recorder. It's really fun and we anticipate having lots of kid video to share. I'll leave you with this tidbit:
And yes, Tessa's shirt is indeed on backwards. I'll let you guess which parental unit got her dressed that morning.
