Over the weekend, Pepper and I drove down to Utah to meet our grandson for the first time. He’s a cute little guy, and it was a lot of fun to remember how small babies are. We have a lot of photos like this:
And this:
Of course, being three weeks old, he did a lot of this:
Alex and Kaitlyn were good sports as we all vied for a chance to hold Ollie. I guess in some ways, it’s nice as a new parent to have a bunch of people willing to take the baby for a while.
Ollie’s pretty talented, too… here we are, singing a cover of Billy Joel’s Piano Man.
We also had a chance to see a bunch of family members who came out to attend our niece’s baby shower (Alex and I dodged that bullet and had lunch instead). It felt like a mini family reunion!
On Sunday morning we wandered around the BYU campus and took some great pictures:
We even played around with some of the experiments in the science building, including the Vortex Cannon (sounds cool, right?). I’m on the second floor, looking down at Kyra, and I can aim this big metal drum at her and then thump the black rubber membrane to throw a big poof of air right into her face. Isn’t science amazing?
After a great weekend and a long drive, it was nice to crest Polson Hill and see the Flathead Valley again:
We’re looking forward to seeing little Ollie become… well, bigger Ollie. These guys grow so fast…
