Hello Again

I know it has been a while, Grandpa. But we wanted you to know that we love you and are thinking of you always!

Oh, Dad...

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow. You're only a day away!

See you soon!!!

Welcome Home!

We are so glad you are finally going home Grandpa. We wish that we were there but thought that it would be better to give you a little time to get settled and Avery a little time to get over her wicked cold. But we will be there on the 23rd so be prepared! In the mean time, here are a few pictures from Easter this year. We love you!This one is of Avery when she got sick again. She has decided that her stuffed animal friends are just about the coolest things ever! Even with a cough and a runny nose, she always has smiles for bright pink bears and fat sheep.

Only 30 hours ... and counting.  I'll see you soon!

Thinking of You

I'm not close enough to hug you right now, although I wish I could! So, this is the best I could come up with:

{Jenn's birthday, Dec. 1993}

A favorite picture, a happy memory, a past hug-
to remind you that I LOVE YOU and that I would hug you tight if I could!

Thinking of you Dad!

Avery is 6 months old!

East or West, Texas is Best

Hi Dad! Micah and I finally bought our plane tickets and we are headed to Dallas to see you! We fly in on April 18th, and fly out on April 25th. That is one whole week we get to spend with you and Mom. We can't wait to come visit (and watch a lot of Law & Order)!!! :)

Love you lots. Hope all is well.

Families Can Be Together Forever

I moved pictures from my camera to the computer today and found this one:


I plan to post about our visit to the Draper Temple Open House and the Dedication on my blog at some point but today, right now, I feel so grateful for you and mom who have always taught me that the temple is a special and sacred place. I grew up knowing that our family could be together forever and that was so comforting to me. I remember you and mom attending often and how happy you both were on those days. I treasure the memory of all our family being together in the Jordan River temple this past December. And I look forward to a day when my children will join us in this holy place. I love the temple and I love you, Dad~ forever.

Sorry we MISSED you on your birthday!

Those of us who are in Utah try to get together regularly to celebrate birthdays. We wish our whole family lived here so we could tell them each how happy we are that they were born and that they are part of our lives. This time- we wished YOU were here!

We took this picture to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and we added your years to our candle count- making it collectively 147 years of having really terrific people, like YOU, here in the world and making our lives better. We love YOU! And hope you had a good birthday.


(And of course we took one like this too!)

Daddy Sauter,

H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y!!!

We're very sorry we can't be with you. Micah and I are looking forward to visiting in the next week or two. Hope all is well.

Loving you and missing you,

Angicah

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

As a gift to you I have started this blog. For now it is just me, but I hope this can be a one-stop-shop for you to find information and photos about your children and beautiful grandkids. You can check here regularly to find postings that are just for you. We love you so much!
