Ammon's parents, who we have been lucky enough to have living fairly close to us since our kids were born, have recently sold their house in North Logan. They put all of their belongings in storage to live the life of nomads, spending their time traveling around visiting various family members and friends who live all over the world. This has been a great development for them, as I know they have spent a lot of time over the recent years greatly missing their family members who are abroad, and have often felt lonely in Utah. Although it was a happy occasion for them, it was not exactly a happy occasion for our little family. We have been greatly blessed over the last several years to live very close to them, and my children have been accustomed to seeing their grandparents on a VERY regular basis. Of course, the at-the-ready babysitting didn't hurt either! As an attempt to stay in touch, we spend a lot of time on the phone catching up on family events and just chatting about the state of things in general. Jeremy in particular is very close to his grandmother, and often asks to call her, and will happily spend at least ten minutes talking on the phone to her. Anyone who has talked on the phone with a child before, especially mine, knows that this is a serious compliment!! For Jeremy to sit still and spend ten minutes doing ANYTHING must convery the deepest respect and love for the activity. At any rate, we are greatly looking forward to Mary and Russ visiting us at the end of the summer.
