Weekends

I wish we had some more pictures to upload, but sadly we have been slacking in the photo sharing department lately. We've taken some pictures of Kai but we just haven't had the time to upload them from the camera. So once again, this post will be long and pictureless. Sorry!

Anyway, we just live for the weekends around here. That's the time when we all get to be together and when Reid and Kai really get to enjoy playtime together. This past weekend was no exception. We had lots of playtime and also got a good deal of unpacking done. Sunday is always a great day to do nothing....uh, I mean relax. :P This Sunday was a little different, however. I don't know how many of you heard about the shootings in the area, but for those who didn't there were two shootings at religious organizations on Sunday killing four people. I saw something about the first shooting online Sunday morning and didn't think anything about it. However, once sacrament meeting came to a close it was announced that the there had been another shooting at New Life Church. There was no further information available at that time but as this was the second church shooting in one day our bishop felt it was best to lock the doors and have the high priests guard them. (I personally find that entertaining!) About half way through Sunday School, our bishop gathered us all into the chapel and said that he felt that we all needed to go home, just to be safe. So, with that, church was dismissed. Very unsettling if you ask me. It turns out the gunman took his own life in the 2nd shooting and so we were safe. But I appreciate that the bishop was being cautious.

Well, Kai is calling. Just thought I'd share an interesting event from our weekend!
