Reno and More

Anna and Rob made a quick trip to New Mexico to look at houses and schools. The kids are super self sufficient, but Lucy had some AP tests looming large and she was relieved when we were able to head that way for a few days. I actually love shopping, cooking, and driving the "bus." So this was good fun.

Treats from Utah

Up extremely early to schlep Rob and Anna to RNO

This girl is a kick in the pants

Bella and I checked out Thomas Creek, which is running
high with spring runoff and LOTS of rain

The chokecherries are about to pop

I was happy to accompany Louisiana to her NHS induction

Brilliant girl!

Lucy gave me a tour of Galina and I got to see her paintings on display

Clara entertained the troops

Spring in the Sierra Nevada foothills

I can always count on Anna for a great hike

This one was up along Whites Creek

Such a wonderful spot

It's always sad to say goodbye

We came home on 10 May, and on the 11th we were invited to Katiana's Naturalization Ceremony at the Federal Court House in Salt Lake City. Afterwards Jeremy feted us at Tucano's in the Gateway Center near the courthouse. It was a really nice day and we genuinely appreciate being included.

So, we have enjoyed a pretty great week, but that's all for now.
