Dear H, O and B,

We spent the last 3 days of our vacation in Flagstaff — just the 5 of us. It was a great way to end our road trip. We went to the park to blow bubbles and play, made art, visited a history museum, met up with Shannon and Zoe for dinner at Beaver Street Brewery, and enjoyed some down time in the condo we rented. We love being with the three of you. I love vacation so much because it brings us back to each other — rather than being pulled in all of the directions that our life pulls us — work, school, volunteering, church, and friends — just to name a few. It gives us extended time to remember how much the 5 of us are a team, and how important each member is, just because they are a part of it.

Love you,
Mama
