Visit from the Johnston's

We were blessed to live near Beth (Jon's sister) and her family while we lived in Ohio. Beth moved there to help us when Jack was born and after spending Christmas at home in Oregon, felt like it was right to come back. She did and met Jeff Johnston - another medical student at Ohio State. They got married and while living in Ohio had their two little boys, Kyle and Tyler. They are now in St. Louis, MO for Jeff's Anesthesiology residency.

Beth was able to take the boys to Oregon for Thanksgiving and was able to arrange her flight to leave out of Salt Lake. We were able to have them stay with us for a couple of days and we had a great time. Kyle loved playing with Jack's train set and my kids were thrilled to have a baby to hold and Kyle to play with. We were able to go to Temple Square one night and see the lights. It was freezing cold, but it was fun to be with Beth & her kids, Bobby & Sarah and their kids and Tom. Thanks Beth for coming - we miss you guys!

We couldn't believe how much Tyler had grown in the 3 months since we had seen him.

He's such a good baby - we think he looks a lot like Kyle, but he definitely has some Bowen in him too.

Kyle loved this little vacumn - I just need to get the real one out next time!
