Brothers

Jared and Jeremy pose in front of the fireplace. They were all packed and ready to leave for the airport. We enjoyed having Debbie and the boys come for a few days. They arrived on July 2nd and left on July 7th. We enjoyed several meals and conversations out on the back patio. We managed to get through 3 gallons of ice cream in about 4 days! On Sunday night we had a family home evening at Jon and Jan's house. There was quite a crowd of us in the living room. We listened to David Bednar's last talk given last month to young adults. After treat, Joseph went back to Monterey to the DLI, where he is slaving over learning Arabic. Joanna's new friend Sam joined the group. Of course, Jake the dog was there being used by a pillow by Jordan while we were listening to Brother Bednar's talk.
