The next night as we were preparing for another get-together, the doorbell rang, and Dexter came running in with a bouquet of flowers and note for Grandma. It was absolutely adorable, and I had to share this cute note! I loved having Dexter bring it, but also loved the thoughtfulness of Dexter's mom!
One of the things I'm going to miss (when I retire) about working on the top floor of the Church Office Building is the incredible view. The Utah State Capitol is, in my opinion, the most beautiful state capitol of those I have seen. This is my view out the north side of our floor around 7:30 a.m. just as the sun is coming up. 
The state capitol has been closed for the past few years to be retrofitted to be earthquake resistant (or whatever the term is meaning it shouldn't fall down if/when an earthquake hits). They jacked the building up and put fittings underneath. I can't even imagine undertaking such a project. It reopened this spring. We're looking forward to taking a tour of it soon.

That is a beautiful view!
With good training like that Dexter is going to turn out to be one well trained gentleman!

Gee, I had a similar experience with my first time babysitting Ronan the other night. Awake just about the whole time his folks were gone. But at 5 weeks, there isn't much playing going on...just a lot of bottle drinking. Janet was so afraid I wouldn't want to do it again...HA! Like that would ever happen. Grandkids are the best!
I love your state capitol pictures. I haven't been up there for a long time. I remember when there were'nt quite so many house up on Ensign Peak!!!
So fun to see you for a few minutes yesterday. My folks will be excited to be out here closer to everyone.
Love, Maile
