This week...

Gordon decided that he really isn't too old to take naps. Just don't tell him that.



We voted and wore our stickers to prove it.

Then we stayed up really, really late (Chris out of employment obligation and me out of curiosity) to find out the results. I have to admit that I got a little teary listening to both McCain's and Obama's speeches. I thought that McCain conceded with grace and that Obama offered a very moving rally cry to our country. It will be interesting to see what happens now.



I took about 500 pictures of the three boys together. And got one good one.



I went to Soda Springs, ID for the first time to visit my dear friend, Becca, in person for the first time in... well, years and years. It was so much fun, so we definitely plan to visit Soda Springs again!

We ate yummy Japanese food with Grammuh Marilyn! The boys and I ♥ Kyoto!



Neil continued to work on his communication skills. Sadly, his baby acne has surfaced this week, earning him a new nickname: "AcNeil". Despite his skin problems, he's still a cute little turnip!



Quote of the week: "I screamed and hugged a man I didn't know." Spoken by Chris after Utah's game-winning touchdown in the last minute in Thursday's game against TCU.

Yay! I was really excited when Obama won. And haha- AcNeil- poor little guy. That picture is really cute too.

It was fun, wasn't it? Can't wait to do it again! We come to Logan, you come back to Soda (this time we'll see the amazing "world's only captive geyser"), we visit Pepperidge Farms, and so on.

I do love a close finish in a football game. I mean, if my team wins, of course.

That little corNeilius is a sweetie.

oh Elise! I was laughing so hard about Chris hugging some man he didn't know! You know we miss you here right! I stay current by reading your blog though, so no worries. I am sure you are in no rush to come back, but I would like my talking through the window buddy back!

Sounds like a fun week. Andy laughed at Chris's quote about the Utah vs TCU game.

What a great post. So many cute pictures and such a hilarious quote from Chris--it had Andy and me chuckling.
