What happened this week ...

Since Mom Cann was unable to make her planned visit to see us, Danae went and visited her for Mother's Day. She really enjoyed visiting with family and friends in Utah. She especially enjoyed spending time with her nieces (Dallas & Emma's kids). She accompanied Mom Cann on a trip to take the girls back to Kanab, about half-way to their Arizona home.

Mother's Day Sunday, Danae got the opportunity to spend time with all of her living mother's: Mom Cann, Mom Fails, and Oma.

Monday, the day Danae left Utah to return to Jerry, took an early morning hike with Weston up Dry Canyon.

Love,
Jerry & Danae
