Family Visitors

Before and after our North Dakota road trip, Siri and Raum, and Danny and Nel spent some time in Denver. Danny and Nel are moving to Jordan in another week to do a 9-month-long internship under the guidance of long term missionaries. We're hoping to see them next summer, but should they decide to continue a longer term commitment overseas, our visits will sadly not be as frequent as I'm sure we would like them to be. Gilby and I are really proud of Danny and Nel and the commitment they have made, but my selfishness wants them to stay closer!

We were spoiled being able to see them for two weeks in Denver, and feel fortunate to have had that time. Sydney is still asking for Un-cle-Dan-ny (she says it so cute). She gets Nel and Siri's names mixed up all the time, and all babies we see now are "Baby Raum." Myles loved hanging out with his aunts, uncle, and cousin and likes to look at everyone's picture with us.

Their visit consisted of a few trips to the pool, family dinners, time at the park, a kid-less dinner out, the farmer's market (Sydney asked us this weekend when we went if Uncle Danny would be there again), an art festival, girls night out at the comedy club, and a Broncos preseason game for Gilby and Danny. We could have done nothing special and still had a fantastic time enjoying each other's company. Miss you guys!

Danny baptizing our dad, a very special moment.
Sydney was being a rascal, this is the best we could do!
