"Harmony, happiness, peace, and love in the home can help give children the required inner strength
to cope with life's challenges."
-President James E. Faust
Trina and Lola
I stayed at the hotel after James left to go work at the house. Around 9:30 I checked out and drove to Sheri's. We are picking up Darrel's kids in Queen Creek at Trina's parents house and we are scheduled to be there at 10. We dropped Rowan off at Sheri's to play and then Sheri, Addy, Ruby and I went shopping at the Chandler mall.
I bought "Lambie" a stuffed animal at the Disney Store for Lola. Sheri and I kind of went crazy at the Baby Gap store and then we had lunch at the foodcourt.

We dropped Ruby off at Sheri's because she was through shopping while Sheri, Addy and I went to Target where we found more baby clothes we liked. Back to pick up Rowan, Ruby and Stacy and head for the hospital. This is what was going on at Stacy's:
Paul teaching Michael how to be a mechanic.
When we got back to the hospital baby Lola was having her picture taken. Darrel is there too. Trina loved all of the gifts we got for the baby:
The quilt on top is from grandmother Lambson.
This baby is going to be well loved.
For some reason Rowan didn't want to hold her today.

Lots of Love for Lola
So sweet!
Ruby is so proud of her new purple
shoes and socks.
I took Addy, Rowan and Ruby home with me to Vernon. They were very talkative on the way but there was no fighting. Ruby kept asking me which mountain the cabin was on. We stopped in Payson at the Basha to pick up a few groceries. I had bought steaks, fruit, and mac and cheese at Sam's Club before leaving Chandler but we thought of some more things we needed, like stuff to do smores. It rained on us as we ran back to the car. Also had to stop at Safeway in Show Low because Kim said we were out of toilet paper.
The kids did some artwork while I fixed them dinner.
Ruby's designs, Rowan's mailbox and letters,
and Addy's picture for Lola.
James was gone on the Razr with Joe and Alex. The kids, Addy, Rowan, and Ruby all slept upstairs together in "their" room.
