Highlight of the week was joining Chris' family for Cinco de Mayo celebration at local Cecilia Mexican restaurant in Lafayette. The had a Marachi band to add to festivities and Kate was dancing to the beat as you can see in the background. There is a rumor that new Mexican restaurant going into Orinda Theatre Square soon. We heard fireside by Richard Bushman, Mormon historian, on Friday evening. He is helping establish a Mormon studies chair at UC Berkeley campus. Jana Rains has started a ladies discussion group once a month. I attended for first time this week. Always nice to visit informally as little time on Sundays. Our first simulated earthquake drill on Saturday morning for the Oakland Stake where we initiated our ward phone tree. Hopefully can invite group over soon to discuss more preparedness. Some inactive families have even agreed to join us. Your dad gave me the most gorgeous bouquet of pink roses for Mother's Day. These were added to the two roses Kellyn gave me in Utah last week as early honor of motherhood. Wishing you all a lovely day. Kellyn departed early this morning for Asia with BYU business school. She plans to update her blog when possible. I've been thinking it's time for another family adventure, but needs to be family friendly that can accommodate Natalie and Melissa new one due September. Let me know what you think of February 2012 choices of Oahu, Hawaii; Disneyland, Disney World; or western Caribbean cruise departing New Orleans? An adult only to more far away places like China or Peru will have to wait for a while.
