Taylor's MTC teacher sent this picture of  himself and the 9 elders
headed for Alaska TODAY!!    What a fun surprise for us.   

AND - Just in case it's been so long and you can't remember 

what he looks like, Taylor is the cute one on the far right, front row.

And now . . .

     making her grand . . . 

        and EARLY entrance . . . .

Lyla Louise Van Bibber

Just in case I haven't told you yet, Hannah and Daniel had their precious little Lyla on Friday, March 31st.  5 lbs 13 ounces!

I still don't know how they capture so many smiles!!

Check out the dimples - just like her parents

We love you Lyla!

And can I just say- hooray for 

Facetime!  We can watch

Lyla in Ohio and

Owen in St. George!

There's another soldier in God's army!

We dropped Taylor (Elder Van Bibber) at the Missionary Training Center

in Provo, yesterday!   Boy those 19 years went by fast!!

It's hard to put into words what you feel as a parent when

you say good-bye to your son for two years.  

He's where he needs to be, 

he's where we want him to be, 

he's where he wants to be,

but 

it sure would be great to see his smile and hear

his voice letting us know all is well.

We shared our last advice, gave our last hugs 

cried a few tears and sent him off

into one of the greatest adventures and 

blessings of his life.

We love ya son!

Talk to you soon!

(38 days to be exact, thank heavens for Mother's Day)

 Last good-byes!
