This was Owen's first time on the swings. While he was a little uncertain at first, and although he didn't smile a whole lot, he sure loved swinging. This was evidenced by the fact that he would start crying every time I stopped the swing. Tanyon also loved swinging and was happiest when he was high enough that the chains gave some slack.
After swinging for a bit, Tanyon and Owen went down the slides. This was again, another first for Owen. He did well and seemed to enjoy it. By the end I could pretty much let him slide down by himself without supporting him.
It was a beautiful day in the park spent with great company. Thanks, Paula and Tanyon for the fun day!The following day, on Sunday, I made a quick trip to San Francisco to see our dear friends, Nate and Lydia Fisher. Miles and I met them in our ward in Utah a few years ago and became fast friends. However, they (like many others) moved on after graduation when Nate got a job working for the government in San Francisco. I was so excited to see them again and meet the new addition to their family. Their baby boy's name is Jakob Clark Fisher. He was born on April 11th at 1:30 PM weighing 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 21 inches long. Isn't he beautiful?!
It was so great to see them and catch up, even if only for a short visit. I have to mention that I went down on a Sunday thinking it would be a great time to go and I would avoid all the rush-hour traffic that comes with the work week. Apparently I have been living in Utah for too long because I forgot that for the majority of the world, Sunday is a get-out-and-do-something kind of day. Oh well. It was definitely worth fighting the CA traffic to see them! Congratulations Nate and Lydia! You make a beautiful family! :D
