It's been a while since we've posted anything. We've had a busy summer. We have taken a lot of trips. We went to Utah for the 4th of July. We went to the parade and the Elliott family reunion. Shane and I went with the boys on the Thompson father-son camp out. Then in August, we visited Heather's family in Idaho. We did some camping and got to see some of our old friends. We attended our niece Toni's wedding. The end of August was the open house for the Sacramento Temple. We drove there with our branch. It was beautiful. Now we are in school mode. Shane started Kindergarten at St. Helena Primary School. He loves it. Last , but not least, we are joined by a new member of the family. We bought a cute chocolate lab puppy named Sophia. She is a sweet little girl. All in all, it was a great summer, though we are glad to be staying home for a while.
