Busy Busy

It seems like we've been running non-stop today! Today was orginally going to be pretty laid back, but it has turned out a little differently. And for the better!

I woke up this morning and was getting ready for the day when Tyson's brother Dustin called with some exciting news. They were on their way to the hospital because his wife Erika (who is 37 weeks pregnant) was in labor. Very unexpected! They had been at the temple to do a session when she started having contractions.

She wasn't too far into the labor so I went with Tyson's mom and Dustin and Erika's daughter, Lillie, to Tyson's cousin's wife Calese's baby shower. (That was a mouth full!) It was fun seeing Tyson's aunts and cousins on his dad's side. He has great family on both sides.

After the baby shower Tyson and I went up to the hospital to see Dustin and Erika. She had just received her epidural so she was feeling pretty good. We visited for a bit before leaving and going grocery shopping, where we just got back. We just received word from Dustin that Erika is all ready to go and they are just waiting for the doctor to arrive. So anytime now we're going to have a new nephew! We'll be bringing them dinner later tonight.

A friend in our ward, Debbie Grigg, passed away last weekend and her funeral was this afternoon. She was a very sweet lady and her family is wonderful. We love the Grigg family. And we know that the Lord will be watching over them at this difficult time.

This has been quite the eventful day! But we're just so excited to be gaining a new nephew. We love him already!

Ok, so did they finish the session at the temple? :) Going to the temple in the last trimester was so uncomfortable anyway.

Ok. You said you were getting a new nephew, but the pic at the bottom says, "she's here". So which was it and congrats! Also, I knew Debbie Grigg when Cliff coached Carrie at Hillcrest. I was so sad to hear about her passing.
