This past weekend, April 9-11, I went to Tennessee to visit my mom for Mothers Day. We had a nice time. We went for a walk Sabbath afternoon. In the evening I presented her some small gifts I had bought while in Sweden, and then we played two 3-round games of Boggle. (I won both times. Sorry, Mom!) Sunday we went to Wal-Mart and bought some mulch and flowers (creeping phlox), and I helped her mulch around her house. I had to leave at around 11:15 a.m., to make it to the wedding.

This is Violet, about one year old now. My mom has been babysitting her occasionally for some months now. My mom purchased this dress for her, so she would have something special to wear to church.
