February 15th our friend, Michelle Robinson (in purple), flew out from California to spend a few days with us. She and Rick met while Rick was on his mission to Santa Rosa, California, and they have kept in touch ever since. This is the first time she got to meet all of our kids in person! During her visit we went to Zions for some hiking. The trails still had quite a bit of snow and ice on them and so we weren't able to get very far, but we still had a good time sight-seeing. It was on this trip that we made the announcement to our kids that they would be getting a new sibling this Fall! They were excited and immediately started throwing out every "J" name they could think of!
