Garrett and Krystal and Kids Come to Visit

Garrett, Krystal and Daniel and Makayla rode home from Michigan with us so they could visit us in Virginia for a week.  On our way we stopped in Kirtland, Ohio.  It was the first time for Krystal and Garrett to see Kirtland.
 Daniel got a little antsy during the presentation at the Newell K. Whitney store, so I took him outside while Kent, Garrett and Krystal took the tour.
 The weather was nicer in Kirtland this year than it was two years ago in April when Kent and I went.  It was rainy then.
Unfortunately, poor little Makayla developed a high fever and spent three of the days she was in Virginia in the hospital.  Of course her dedicated mommy stayed with her, and Daddy and big brother came to visit once a day. They did lots of tests at the hospital but could never determine a cause for her fever.
We managed to keep Daniel entertained.  We got out some of our old Fisher Price toys, which he liked playing with.  We took him to help distribute the food from the Bishop's storehouse.  
 Daniel testing to see if he could fit under the support bar on our dining room table.  Yup, he could!
 Daddy and Daniel getting ready for family prayer.
 After Makayla got out of the hospital we went for a family walk around the neighborhood.
 This was Daniel's favorite way to take a walk!

They were even here to celebrate my birthday, but I guess we didn't get any pictures of that. 

Kent and I took Daniel to stake conference with us since that was the time his daddy had to check Makayla and Krystal out of the hospital.  Daniel did a great job and only got antsy and had to be taken out the last ten minutes of the meeting.  We're sure glad they came; we had a wonderful time with their family!!

First of all, I can't believe Daniel sat still for that long at Stake Conference! At that age Kiera would have been the opposite and only lasted 10 minutes! I love all the pictures of Daniel. He looks like such a big boy pulling that cart, but then he looks so sweet trying to fit under the table and saying family prayer with his daddy. I'm sure glad that baby Makayla is okay, too. You have a wonderful eternal family.

Oh my goodness - the world's tinest hospital gown! Poor little girl! Sounds like Daniel was a trooper and had a great time with you guys.

What a blessing that they could be with you and have your assistance while Makayla was in the hospital. Hope she is feeling better! Such beautiful pictures of Kirtland---we've never been there but it's on our bucket list!
