Gratitude List— q1 and q2 2012

1.  Rob, after 6 years of being practically, if not legally, blind had cataract surgery (at a specialist in SLC because of all his issues) and now has 20/25 Vision in one eye. And the doctor thinks he will qualify for surgery in the other eye because of the discrepancy in prescriptions.  It is truly a miracle and we know we are blessed.

2.  Ben, because of his speech delays, has qualified for intense (4days a week) speech therapy/preschool.  Finally, he'll be getting the help he needs.

3.  We've had so many opportunities to be with family this summer.  We went to Aspen Grove (BYU Alumni Camp) for a week.  It was a pretty amazing setting and incredible fun.  Then Rob had Surgery, Then we went camping and had an awesome time.  Finally, the boys are at scout camp and we girls are drawing, painting, sewing, watching silly mormon movies and having a great girls week.
Aspen Grove — TONS Of FUN

Canoing on Barker Reservoir

Fish, fish, fish

I want to steer.  I have a license you know.



Swimming at Calf Creek Falls.  Very refreshing after a 3 mile hike in the 100+ weather

Which reminds me:
4.  Even though it is 100+ and has been for the past few weeks, Today and yesterday we were blessed with evening thunderstorms.  If you live here you know, you go outside and play in the rain because it's so rare.  It reminds me of the Ray Bradbury Story:  "All Summer In A Day"   If you google it, there's a free copy of it in doc form.  Read it and you'll see what I mean.
