Garrett and Miriam visit

Garrett and Miriam came to visit last weekend. They brought Ruby along too.

Sadie is not very happy to share her home with any other dogs, but she got used to Ruby. I think she misses her now.

Miriam is taking a picture (with Mike's camera) of Garrett and Ruby while Sadie sleeps a few feet away. I'm not sure how many pictures Miriam took with Mike's camera--it was a lot. (I wonder if he has noticed yet.)

My Dad and the Morrills visit

In December, I found a $50 fare from LAX to Seattle, so I told my dad he needed to come visit. He bought a ticket for the last weekend of January. He came on Thursday and left on Saturday--quick trip. Mahana made friends with Grandpa right away. My mom loved Mahana too. She is a very cuddly cat. Mahana & Grandpa

Friday morning, my dad and I went to the Seattle Temple. It was nice to go there together. After the temple, Dad took me out to lunch :)

Hannah and Grandpa

Our friends the Toring family from the Marshall Islands wanted to meet my dad, so they came by Friday night. They gave him a beautiful shell necklace from the Marshall Islands.

The day my dad was coming, I was talking to Rachel and told her he would be coming that day. I don't know why I didn't tell her sooner. Anyway, she said, "Maybe the kids and I can come." (It is nice they live close enough to come for a day or two.) Friday evening, Rachel, David, Ryan, & Katy came to visit us and Great-grandpa Maughan.

Also, on that Friday night, Hannah and her dance competition partner, Cameron, had a private lesson with Ashly DelGrosso Costa! Pretty exciting!!

On Saturday, Hannah had a performance at Bena Roya Hall. We all went to see it.

My dad gave me beautiful flowers.

After the performance was over, I took my dad to the airport. It was a fast but fun trip.
