Summer 2008 Update

We wanted to let everyone know we're still alive and doing well. We're just settling back in from a long summer of driving to every point on the map imaginable...Seattle (too many times to count), Utah (3 times), Rexburg (2-3 times), Boise (2-3 times), Coeur d'Alene (daily for Chad's work) and I think some other places too. It was so great to see everyone, but man are we glad to be done with the driving!

Melanie is enjoying being a mom and the best Sunbeams teacher around! I am now back in school and enjoying getting to work on some MBA courses as well as a few law school courses. Payton is excitedly awaiting the start of his pre-school that Melanie and her friends put on for their kids. And Carson is just excited to start eating real food!

Let us know how you are doing and take a look at a few of our summer pics.



Mel and Carson doing what they do best...looking cute!

Great to get the update! I feel the pain with driving...it just isn't as easy with kids!
Congrats on the Dances' mission call--turns out Tyler knew about it before I did since he ran into Mel's uncle at a BYU event in Seattle. Crazy. I swear, that man finds out more about my friends than I do :)
Next time you're in Utah, if you have time, we'd love to see you!
