From Jeri - Sept.22, 2008

Hi, Family,

I like this blogging stuff. I can even get into them at work when I have some free time, like now. I didn't hear back what everyone thinks about using this to write and post pictures. Or would you rather use the MyFamily.com? This is free.

I am happy for Sarah to get her new companion, Sister Dubrovina, and to get transferred to Gorlivka. You will get her letter about it also. She has been very patient with her last companion, but probably helped her to grow. She can read our letters on this site also.

Happy 4th birthday to our little Emily!!! I hope you had a great day. We want to hear what you did. You are such a big girl. I love you.

Whitney and Zack, I love you too.

We had Jared, Candace, Andy, Randie, and Raidon over yesterday for dinner.

I can't believe how fast Raidon is growing. He's learning to sit up very well too. I love his big smile. It reminds me of Andy's.

Bruce and I had such a nice time with Spencer and Jane a few weeks ago. Your garden is so beautiful. I miss seeing how Wyatt grows and changes like I can Raidon. So Spencer, please post pictures. Hope all is going well for you.

This past week the Tab Choir sang with the Utah Symphony for our annual Tanner Gift of Music Concerts. This time Eric Kunzel, who leads the Cincinnati Pops, directed us and we had 2 guest soloists, Dunyce Graves and Brian Stokes Mitchell. The theme of the concerts was "An American Songbook" and it featured many songs from the 30's and 40's as well as patriotic ones. I especially liked Brian's voice that reminded me of Johnny Mathis (remember him?), but better. He is a famous Broadway stage actor. It was an enjoyable week, but I'm always glad to have more time at home again.

I would love to hear how all of you are doing.

Love to you all! Jeri
