Rosalind & The Auntie Van

 Julie and Lindy were planning on coming to Provo on Tuesday to get Lindy settled at BYU. She texted us on Monday to tell us that Al had convinced her to drive up to Rexburg soon after they landed to go see Rosalind. Al found a great Airbnb house that they would stay in, and then drive back to Utah Wednesday in time for the play we had tickets for. They asked if anyone else wanted to go, and so Grandma, Mel and I quickly arranged things so we could join in the fun. Then Monday afternoon, Julie's flight was canceled due to a small airplane crash at the Provo Airport. They decided to fly into Idaho Falls instead, but the only flight didn't land until 9:45 Tuesday night. Grandma, Mel, Al, and I still drove up to Rexburg Tuesday afternoon and were able to go to Caleb & Johanna's apartment that evening. They were so cute, and wanted to see all of our faces when we first saw Rosalind. Poor Johanna had a rough delivery and isn't able to get out of bed yet, so her mom positioned us right outside her bedroom door so she could watch us as we saw her for the first time.

She is beautiful and so tiny and absolutely precious!!

It is instant love meeting her! We all took a couple turns holding her and enjoyed visiting with Caleb, Johanna, and her parents. It was really cute to see Caleb and Johanna so smitten with their daughter. 

Julie & Lindy's flight was delayed a couple hours, so we went back to our house and hung out for a while. The house was awesome, and I loved the Harry Potter room under the stairs. :)

Each room had a theme and was decorated so cute, and there was a game room and a movie room. Mel made us fresh popcorn. :)

Al & I drove out to Idaho Falls and picked Lindy & Julie up late that night and it was great to get some time to visit with them and hear a little about Lindy's mission. They went over to Caleb & Johanna's in the morning and got some time with them. Gary & Julie are so excited to be grandparents!

And Lindy is excited to be an aunt! We had made so many jokes about all of us driving up in the Auntie Van, and we were so happy to welcome Lindy into the Auntie Van club!! Seriously, being an aunt is the best!

Julie texted a little bit before it was time to head back to Utah and said we were welcome to come and say our goodbyes to Rosalind. We checked out of our house and headed back over. It was great to be able to see her once more. She's just so sweet!!

We made it back to Salt Lake in time to meet Kyle for dinner and then make it to Hale to see The Little Mermaid. I absolutely loved this play!! I wasn't expecting to love it so much, but it was incredible.

We had to get a picture of all the aunties and the Auntie Van before the night was over. :) 

We went to Guru's for lunch the next day, and the BYU Creamery, and helped Lindy move into her apartment, and then hung out at Al's house that night. It was a whirlwind few days, but so much fun!! I always love when Julie comes to town, and I'm so excited to have Lindy back at BYU so we can see more of her.
