Bring in the Spring


Once again, our photos are sporadic and random. We've had a great past month. Craig is nearing the end of his first trimester in school which means he will be 1/4 of the way done already! Wow, it sure is cruising by! Regardless of how crazy some classes are. We were so happy to have the Maxfields come down over conference weekend and spend an awesome weekend with us, and celebrate Mother's Birthday with us. It was so fun, and we're so grateful you were able to come down before our big trip. We have officially purchased our tickets to Europe and will be on the Hammond World-Wide Tour 2011 in three weeks from today!! Megan has been working hard, putting Craig through school and getting to spend a lot of time with the other MBAers wives. She is notorious on campus for being the best wife as she brings Craig dinner every Wednesday for his night class!! She's the best. Over the past weekend, Craig was able to go with the T-Bird Rugby club to Duke, in Durham N.C. to participate in the MBA Rugby World Cup. They beat Yale and Texas, while narrowly losing to Columbia, and getting beaten (lopsidedly) by Stanford... which was full of ringers. Craig also suffered his first battle scar after tackling someone in the Standford game, leaving a nice wide cut on his chin, necessitating stitches. He's all good though and was back on the field for the later games.

After conference, we made the trip to the Mesa Temple to check it out with the family. It was so beautiful and such a marvelous way to end such an uplifting and recharging conference weekend. Great job, Grandfather!
The family hike at the Thunderbird Conservation Park right next to our chapel! What a fun hike with the fam!
The Glendale Temple is being built just down the street from our Apartment. We actually hadn't made it to the grounds, until Nani and Popsi were here. We are so excited for a beautiful Temple to bless the lives of the Glendalians.
