It’s been another hot minute since I wrote anything here. Life is marching forward. June was a blur with end of school, graduation, and traveling. Lots of fun, lots of steps, lots of good food, very tiring.
Updates that may or may not be important-
Lucy is finally done with club volleyball season
Lilly broke up with Camron:(
Evelyn tap danced on Death’s door step and then decided she didn’t want any to visit anymore and strolled away.
Glen started his new assignment at Herriman High.
I am not ready for school to start but tired from all the “fun” of summer.
Some things I have learned lately that seem important to write down.
-transparency and honestly are important and worth the effort.
-more communication is better than less.
-boundaries are a good thing and something that would probably be good for me to have more of.
-you never know how an experience you are having know might be helping to prepare you for something in the future.
-if you don’t give enough information your message can be lost in translation.
-Love will get things done better than fear or any other emotion.
-God is good and loving.
Here are some pictures from this week.
Summer Ruth- picture credit probably goes to Beth
Brandy came and had dinner with us last Sunday. She loves my parents dogs.
Evelyn just hanging out in bed, visiting. Evelyn is getting smaller ever so slowly. She is eating pretty good and not feeling as bad as she has at past low points, losing strength slowly but well enough to stop wearing briefs because why would she need them.
Another summer picture from Beth- Daryl in repair mode.
I gave Evelyn a bath on Friday after an embarrassing long amount of time since the last one. (Some battles are not worth fighting.) She felt like a new woman, was so happy after it and starving.
Goob, in his summer scraggly cut. His home grooming experience got underway but before he was finished.
The part that most of my readers will be happiest about is to see these pictures. We hired Willa to take Richins family pictures for us today. It was so much fun. I hope Willa enjoyed it too.
Janene says we get family pictures when big things happen and this spring Mikayla graduated from the University of Utah with her double major bachelors degree and Lilly and Colton graduated from high school. I think we filled that quota.
I love this guy.
The guys
Three generations
Janae and kids
The rest of the pictures are from Beth and Ruth. They got tired of waiting for all the big people to stop chatting after we were done with pictures. They snagged my phone and did their own photo shoot. They did a good job.
