First Visitors!

My parents came out to visit last week and it was so much fun to have visitors to show around Omaha and have some fun.   They say they came to see us all, but really they were itching to see their grandchild! 

My mom came out first and stayed a week and then my dad came for a long weekend.  My mom and I got some sewing projects done, did some shopping, organized our basement and helped start some food storage (now that we have room for it!).   She also got Addison eating baby food!  Pretty great!

Once my dad came we did some touring around some of the church history sites here.  We visited the Kanesville Tabernacle, which is where Brigham Young was ordained the second President of the Church.  It was neat to see it.

We also visited the Winter Quarters Cemetery, Temple and Visitor's Center.  It taught me a lot about what the Saints had to go through in this part of the country.  Pretty amazing.  We found a relative, on Derek's mom's side, who died there.  Her name is in the middle of the picture, Margaret Blackhurst.  I guess there is only one remaining original headstone and then they have plaques with all the others names on it, who were buried there whose headstones are no longer there. 

 

Now that we live so far away from all of our family it gets lonely for us, so it was awesome having them here.  Who wants to visit us next????  We have plenty of room!
