Conference Weekend

Conference weekend is always so much fun - especially this year because we got together with our good friends Josh and Allison and their daughter Kate, who is one month older than Sophie.

Seeing that we've moved to "Zion," we also had a chance to actually go to Conference - a first for both Lisa and I. The LDS church has what we call General Conference every 6 months where the leaders of the church spend 10 hours over two days speaking to the worldwide membership. I have only ever seen it on tv via satellite (it's broadcast live). But we had great seats for the last session on Sunday - only about 100 feet from the rostrum.


One of the perks of our new location is that Conference is broadcast on local tv and radio stations. Since we have neither, we spent some time at home listening over the internet. So many options! Sophie surprised us by taking a 3 1/2 hour nap on Saturday afternoon, this picture below is right after she woke up and joined us listening to the last talk.

Sounds so fun! We must get together soon. How do I get ahold of you? Your cell phone is still the same, right? Sorry, it's been a little insane 'round here!
