•  Last week Robert flew up to see us and brought along his girlfriend, Rebecca, to meet the family. We had fun floating down the Boise River on inflatable rafts, sharing life stories over meals, Settlers of Cattan board game, watching the Olympic games and then more  laughter and shared experiences. We enjoyed meeting Becca and getting to know her while she was here. Toward the end of the week Robert took her up into the mountains for an evening picnic and photo shoot with Michael and Carolyn. Little did Becca know that they had an entire "princess rescue" to act out which culminated in Robert asking Becca to marry him. It was an elaborate plan that took quite alot of preparation on Robert's part (costumes, sparkling cider, a lovely diamond ring, timed for sunset and a family heirloom sword). She  said "YES!" and so now Robert and Rebecca are officially engaged to be married. The date is not set yet... possibly next summer but perhaps the following summer. Here are some photos taken last week.  Larry found a bib that Robert had as a baby and brought it out during my hair cutting lesson with Becca. Funny. Today Robert and Rebecca start college classes again in Texas.          She said  YES!
