Brayden's Birthday

Last Sunday, we got a phone call from Linda (Todd's mom). The doctor suggested that it was time we come, so within a couple of hours we were on the road and headed for Washington. Although it was really hard to see Dave so sick, we are so glad we were able to be with the family during this difficult time. Now we feel like "a part of things".
Brayden opened his presents from Grandma and Grandpa Graves in the hospital, so Grandpa could see. Here's a picture of the volcano they gave him. Later that night, we had dinner with all the cousins at Larry & Wendi's house. Thanks, Wendi for all the food and fun! We had cupcakes and then Brayden opened his presents from us (he got a CD alarm clock and the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack). The best part of the whole week was playing with all the cousins. We were thinking about leaving the kids in Utah when we go back for the funeral, but I want them to have a chance to see their cousins again.
