Road trip
Claire and a trio of her hooligan friends, together with Claire's elderly mother, serving as chaperone, bomb down to Southern California for a week's worth of hedonism. Grandma and Grandpa Anderson have to put up with them all.
Here they are, at the most expensive place on earth ...

Breaking news
Mr. Eric Winegar, just completing his year-long stint at Goldman-Sachs, receives and accepts a job offer from Zions Bank! In a related development, approaching the end of their year-long lease for that flat up in the Avenues, Eric and Sarah find a nice new place to live, just a block south of Drew's. Cool/changes!
Well look at that. We're all up to date!
Two cats:
Stake Conference flower arranging ...
Sitter:
Claire and Bradley N., makin' stuff. This is care of, thanks to Claire's new sushi bazooka. Which is what it's really, actually called. Plus, the results:
Sarah continues her recovery. They found these in her foot ...
Librarian:
Big spendin' librarian!
Luca, attending Springville's antique auto show.
Sarah is preparing a new exhibit, for next year. At present, going forward, it's a contemplation of the Eden story, from Eve's perspective. This exquisite thing is called “Cleave.”

Matt turns 21!
Claire won't be far behind, with another, a last birthday milestone. This deep, long, dear stage of our family's life, drawing to a close ...
Bringing ... up to date, pt. 5—the end is in sight!
(1/2) Birthday Boy! We are assured, and have even witnessed, that there is no distress in this 6 month-old's remarkable facial expressions. He is just funny! (In the 90th percentile, by the way, by length and noggin, with total weight not far behind.)
There's an excursion up to the (LDS) Church History Museum, in Salt Lake City. You'll remember that Sarah won a Purchase Award from them, recently. We went up to celebrate that, and enjoy all the other beautiful pieces in the exhibit.
Mum and Spence do Springville's annual Live w'Elle run, together.
I'm trying to work here!
Something new:
Miss Claire goes out and gets herself another job! It's a recently-opened eatery/smootherie, on the way out to the highway. And look at that, another professional certification, to boot!
Meanwhile, she's also re-habbin' it.
Speaking of Matt, moving. You know, it's the little things that you miss ...

Bringing us all up to date, pt. 4—more graduations!
First, though—what's going on with that collarbone?
Not gross at all! Unanticipated and very entertaining glue allergies aside, and the fact that at one point the plated collarbone was looking more like a cordillera, this was all going very well!
Let us say that (LDS) Seminary Graduation is still graduation. Here is Brandon Gomez, who Claire took to Preference last year. A little while later he spoke in our (LDS) ward. Dad was conducting the meeting, and introduced him as a recently returned missionary. Which is obviously not true, since he just graduated from high school. This is one of the things that happens when one's kids systematically refuse to introduce their friends and dates and all to one.
Here's a very important first encounter, commemorated by this beautiful four-generation photograph. (Even though two of the generations are actually missing.)
And now, our last child's high school graduation!
First child Caitlin, of course, is down in Southern Utah, being fairly pregnant. With that very understandable exception, the rest of us were all in attendance! Grandma A. as well! We had this delicious dinner, then made our way down to Utah Valley University's events centre, and everything.
