Happy Father's Day, Dad!

In the six years since my last attempt to send you a blog post for Father's Day, I have forgotten what little I learned about posting, and have to start all over!  In the ? months since Melody helped me formatted the home page of this "new" blog, it has become seriously outdated by the arrival of five additional grandchildren, with another in the oven... The only way to keep up with it is...to keep up with it!  So here I go again, promising things I have never been able to deliver, but exercising hope that this time, things will be different!  (Actually, I hope I am different now...)

Shall I start with our mutually favorite thing--posterity?  How about pics of those five missing grandkidlets?

Meet Miss Georgia Mae Weiler, the most recent addition!  Born 20 April 2017 in Provo to Caleb and Shannyn, she arrived a week early just so she and Mama could attend Daddy's graduation from the MBA program in entrepreneurship.  She was less than 6 weeks old when the whole family moved to Sandy.  I was able to attend her blessing and spend a fun week while they were still at BYU.  Can you believe how big Clark and Jane are now?!

Master George Tyler Wright was born 31 January 2017 in Grants Pass, OR to Bethany and Keith, joining big brother William.  Bob and I both got to meet him shortly after his debut, and were able to participate in his blessing, too, though he didn't seem too thrilled about it...

The same trip (we flew into SLC for a few days, from there to Medford, OR, for a week, then back to SL for a few more days), we got to meet Russell James Weiler and participate in his blessing, too!  We were glad Joseph and Jenna waited a few months (he was born 9 November 2016) so we could be there.

I was in UT for the blessing of Andrew Allgood Weiler in July 2016; he was born 28 June to Seth and Marissa.

When I went back in Jan/Feb 2017 with Bob, we were delighted to see these cousins interact.  This photo was taken in Aunt Ruthie's house in Provo, which she graciously opened to us for family get-togethers while we were there.

If I haven't confused you enough by going backwards in chronology, let me throw another monkey wrench at you by inserting this last baby out of sequence.  (I have to get Melody's help to import photos of Eden Asha Weiler, as they are all from Facebook, not my personal camera.)  She was born 18 October 2016 - between Andrew and Russell - and of course made her debut in New Delhi, India.  And no--she doesn't have dual citizenship, as India doesn't recognize that; if she wanted to claim Indian citizenship she'd have to surrender her American citizenship.

      

Whew!  This has taken all I have - and depleted much of Bob and Melody's energy, too, trying to coach me through this and console me in my emotional extremity when I thought I'd lost it - so I will close now and promise to post more, often, so I can learn how to do it before I forget.  Happy Father's Day, Dad!  Love and blessings to you and Mom!
