Good Bye Again

     Dan and Lyss and Milah left yesterday on their way to Boston.  I took Milah and Alyssa to the airport while Dan took off in the car.  Alyssa must live right because when we got to the airport there was no line for security. I have never seen that before. Dan called this morning and said he got about 5 hours of sleep last night.  I know he only got about 5 hours the night he was here so I am praying for him. It is about a 15 hour drive from Cheyenne to Chicago.  He is staying at his Uncle Jim's tonight and Jim assured him he could sleep in as late as he wanted since Jim is working at home that day.  I think Dan is looking forward to that. Cheryl and Chris Gray said that they are excited to welcome them to Boston for the summer.  I think they are going to have a great summer but I will miss them here.
     On Sunday they let us enjoy being grandparents and hold cute little Milah.  We took them to stake conference which was a broadcast from Salt Lake for all the Davis County Stakes.  Elder Holland and Pres. Uchtdorf talked.  Elder Holland talked about how we just had General Conference last month and how they do discuss what programs they should be doing and what is most beneficial and they do review if having Conference is "worth" it.  Of course we all think -"YES".  Then he said he wanted us to remember back and think of one change in our life that we had made because of a message we heard in conference.  That was tough.  It was good to hear and challenge myself though.  I do need to decide on some way to improve my life after each conference.
      That evening was the partial eclipse.  They are always cool just to notice the light change around you.  Luckily, Dan and Alyssa were able to make us feel like younger parents again too.  We put together a pinhole box to project the image.  It worked pretty well.

We had 2 pinhole so there are two images.

                                                                          The sad news  for our family is that our dog Bowser has gotten very sick the last little bit.  He is in a lot of pain and can't move well at all.  It is sad to see him.  We actually hope that he doesn't linger too long since he seems so miserable.
