Hello! We made a trip to St. George last weekend for Grandma Jensen's 80th birthday party. It was great to be able to see her as well as so many other Jensens. We drove down to St. George on Saturday morning, and the trip went better than expected. Evelyn has become reconciled to car trips; she slept most of the time and was easy to keep entertained when she was awake.

After a fun afternoon and evening with family, we stayed the night at a hotel with Dennis, Robyn, and Cheryl. I was a little nervous that Evelyn would prove to be a difficult roommate, but she slept through the night and let the rest of us do the same!

On Sunday we went to church at Grandma's ward and spent some at the "Bologna house" (Grandma's characteristically pink winter house) with the family before taking off in the afternoon. This picture is of Evelyn with her cousin, Camille.

We had an amazing time, so thanks to everyone who helped put it together!

Here are some pictures of a happy Evelyn in her duck suit (or are they chicks?).

We started feeding her rice cereal this past week, and she likes it as long as its not mixed with formula. Supplementing with a little solid food has been useful in keeping up with her voracious appetite.

This is her in her fun chair that was handed down from Allen and Giovanna. Thanks guys; she has a lot of fun with it now that she can push the buttons.

She is also showing more interest in the cats, and Tipsy doesn't seem to mind the attention.
The weather has been a bit unusual this past week. We had our biggest snow of the winter earlier in the week, but today it feels like spring. Here are some pictures of a snowy University of Utah Campus.

Here she is! Evelyn has been doing well lately, although I can't think of any new developments to report. She went to the doctor yesterday and is 12 pounds 10 ounces. She got some shots in her thighs and was a little fussy over it the rest of the day. She seems to be over it this morning, though.

So, I got a little carried away on my run today.... There are so many buildings so close to each other down town! I started out at the capital building which is set up on a hill just north of temple square.

This is the view from the steps of the state capitol. You can see the temple if you look close.


The state capitol building is surrounded by interesting monuments. This monument to the Mormon Battalion caught my eye. The sandstone backdrop has lots of interesting relief sculptures.

And here is a building we all know and love. I could spend all day taking pictures at temple square, but my course didn't head that way today.

Here is the famous Eagle Bridge over the intersection of N. Temple and State St.This is the Cathedral of the Madeline. I love the old Gothic/Romanesque style! I still haven't been inside, but the outside is sure something to look at.

My favorite part is the tympanum. Such amazing handiwork!Right next door to the Cathedral is the First Presbyterian Church. It's another building that I'd love to see from the inside.
