What a difference 47 years makes

This is a picture of Scott in 1972 when he was dropped off at Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho his freshman year.  He is standing in front of his dorm building -- Rigby Hall-- with this parents and youngest brother.  

The picture on the right is Scott and I 47 years later standing in the same place. Now, Rigby Hall houses the English and ROTC department offices; the dorm rooms are now professors' offices.  

Looking forward to what the next 47 years will bring.....

And then there were seven...

...grandchildren, that is.

When we left for our mission two years ago, we had 3 grandchildren.  Last month, we welcomed Sam and Makelle's beautiful baby girl to our family.  We could't be more excited!
