Visitors!

Last weekend we got a visit from the Toone's, some of our favorite people.  They used to live here, had all their cute boys here, then went and moved away on us.  Bummer!  But, fortunately, they didn't move far away and it was lovely to see them.  We also found out, that after three boys, Jen is pregnant with a GIRL!  Woot woot!!  Congrats!

We spent the afternoon at the beach, it was a beautiful clear, though windy day.  However, approximately 8 million other people had the same idea, so it was kind of crowded.  We did manage to find a nice spot, though.

Later that night, as we were playing our weekly card game, we found out that the next day there was to be a solar eclipse.  Had we known more in advance, we would have gone the 2 hours north to see a total annular eclipse.  As it was, Sam had his camera (because, really, when DOESN"T he have his camera), but not  the filters he needed.  He did a pretty good job, though, and took this from our friend's front yard.  I can't believe he didn't know in advance though, Sam's usually up on celestial happenings.

Ryan and Susan are still in Santiago.  His last post is here .  It's pretty short, and I know they went to Argentina last weekend, he says he'll tell us about that later.

Meghan and I are DONE with school this year.  YAYAYAYAY!  Last day of seminary is tomorrow.  This weekend is pretty quiet, oddly enough, since it's a holiday. I think my parents are coming this weekend, but I usually don't find out until they either show up, or Keri makes a FB comment that indicates they're on the road.  They'll be here all summer with my nephew, Tanner.  The next weekend we're taking a little roadtrip, and the next weekend Jenny B, Amber and her kids are coming to visit, and the next weekend Ry and Sue will be here....etc etc etc.
