I can't wait. This trip has really been a lot of fun, but it has also been so long. I'm so excited to squeeze Piper. I hope she didn't forget me. It has been a little bit hard to spend so much time around little kids that are the same age as Piper and are already experts at running around. I think she should be able to do that fun stuff too. There is this cute little one who keeps collecting rocks in a paper cup and taking them everywhere with her. She is just about 3 weeks older than Piper. It's weird.

Anyway, I really wish she was here. Some people have asked where she is and didn't have any idea that she is in the hospital, which surprised me a little. But I dont know whats going on with many of them either, so I guess we are even. That is why family reunions are so cool when you have so many cousins that you can't possibly keep in touch with even a quarter of them.....it's like a catch-up-a-thon.

We have been on some mega hikes that were some of the most beautiful places I've seen. I complain about hating Utah so much, but I never really give it the credit that it's breath-taking self deserves. It's been so good to spend so much time with my family, especially since little Jesse is leaving for Mexico City for two whole years. This will be the last time I see him until he gets back! Meg and Kate have been so much fun too. Meg has learned and beat the phrase "you snooze, you loose" to a bloody pulp. Dont even get out of your seat for one second or she will snatch it on a count of your snoozing.

More later.
