My brother came to Salt Lake to visit this week. It was great to have him here and for him to have time to get reacquainted with the family and grandkids. Bob has a knack with children. They simply like him. Even little KC and Clayton, who are initially shy, took to him and readily cuddled up to him.
Kelly came for the week but had to return to school (Saturday, November 27) . Lechelle and Boston get to stay another week. Boston is my little King of the Road from Kansas City.

Boston loves to eat and likes to wear some of his food on his face.
Kari, Aaron and kids were here for Thanksgiving and we are so glad they are close by and we get to see them often. They also came by today to watch the BYU vs Utah football game. Too bad Utah won but the game was hard fought and close. We did miss having Kris and Gina and family here but we know they needed to catch up on much needed rest and relaxation after having a new baby.
KC had a fun time.
We last visited with Boston last July when they came out to visit. He has grown a lot and is much more interactive. He doesn't fully crawl but scoots army style across the floor. He is such a happy baby.
As I mentioned the babies warmed right up to Bob.
Finally it came time for Thanksgiving dinner. We went light on the Turkey opting only for a Turkey breast rather than the full beast. Kari made pecan and pumpkin pies. Lechelle made apple pies and the best cherry pie was purchased from the Lion House pantry.
We said goodbye to Kelly today. Our next visit will be this New Year's in St Louis when Boston is sealed to Kelly and Lechelle in the St Louis LDS Temple. In Mormonism, a sealing is an ordinance (ritual), performed in temples by a person holding the sealing power. The purpose of this ordinance is to seal family relationships, making possible the existence of family relationships throughout eternity. Because Boston was adopted a separate sealing is performed.
Happy Holidays from Kelly, Lechelle and Boston. They were trying
to get a picture for their Christmas card.
A surprise came Thanksgiving morning when the band called a special meeting to unveil it's new name. They had called Kathy Wed. night to see if it would be okay if they called and asked me to come over to the garage where we practice. They wanted to surprise me by renaming the band in my honor. It all worked out and I was very surprised. Mike the drummer arranged to have a graphic artist create a new logo and banner. It was really nice of them to do that for me. Kelly has agreed to work on creating our website.
Band members from left to right are Dennis Callanta (vocals and guitar),
Tracy Smith (keyboards), myself (vocals and guitar),
Mike Criddle (percussion and vocals), Brent Brown (bass and vocals)

Looks like a picture perfect holiday for sure! I'm glad youguys had fun. We sure missed you all.
The new logo and name of the band is awesome! That's so fun that they surprised you with it.
So excited to see you soon!!
Just as the picture at the top is perfect, I know that your dinner could only have been made better by the presence of K and G - but still, what a beautiful time. And how wonderful L and K could make that long journey and stay so long. I love the pictures that mix the kids. And I really like the band name. Again, your journey marked by incredible signs of love and friendship.
