family photos - Sept 09
I already posted these on Facebook but am putting them here as well. The white shirts/white background were an experiment - I think it turned out pretty well!

Alex and God
Today we were in the car on the way to church and Alex said, "When I was a baby in Korea, and I was in my bed, God came to me and came into my heart."
This was especially sweet to me as I remember the many prayers I said for her when she was a baby in Korea. I wonder what she remembers of this experience.

Cascade Springs
Well, we didn't see as many fall colors this time. Usually by mid-September the leaves are changing at the high elevations, but on this trip we saw just a few. That's ok - it was a beautiful afternoon, warm and sunny.
I had to include the picture of Bryan changing Sam's diaper in the trunk of our car. It is a regular part of our life, one I suspect we would forget in future if we didn't have photo documentation. :-)

Bees Game
We got free tickets to the Salt Lake Bees game today. Nice way to celebrate Sam's arrival day anniversary. We had great weather and the Bees won, but barely. We actually went home before the end, but I found this article describing the Bees' narrow victory:

The kids' favorite thing was the race between 3 people dressed up in huge inflatable food costumes. The hot dog knocked over the pizza in the middle but the pizza still ran ahead and won, and the ice cream cone never seemed to have a chance.
There was a playground nearby and I was there for a while with the kids. I noticed Sam had disappeared and went looking for him. I found him under the slide with 2 other boys. They were sitting in a circle having a cute little picnic together, consisting of dirty red licorice bits that someone had dropped. Yuck. Still, they were pretty happy kids. Not only did they get dirty Nibs, they got popcorn from Sam's Sunday School teacher who was very gracious and shared freely.
Overall, a great summer day. Love Salt Lake, the Bees, and my family. :-)
