Madison and Eleanor Visit Santaquin

January 2016

Lance had to go out of town for a business trip for a week so I invited Madison Bayles and her toddler, Eleanor, to our house for the week.  They live up near Logan, in Hyrum, so it was a bit of a drive for them.  But I am so glad they came!!  It was the best week ever! 

As a reminder: Madie Pope and I were companions on our missions in England for 6 months.  We clicked so well as companions and became life long friends.  At the end of our mission I joined her and her mom, Jane Pope,  and her uncle in traveling through England. 

Jody and Eleanor had a a good time too! Well at least Jody did. She loved having a little girl to play with.  I'm pretty sure she overwhelmed poor little Eleanor though.  Sorry sweet girl! But since they left,  Jody has been asking for Eleanor constantly. While they were here we stayed super busy.  We both had been reading "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up" so we went through my house and got rid of things that didn't "spark joy".  We stayed up WAY too late talking and organizing.  Mostly it was a purely therapeutic and perfect week.  Please come and live next door to me, Madie!  

Eleanor, Madison, Marian and Joanne.

Eleanor loved little Marian.

Before they left we tried to take some fabulous pictures of all of us. It didn't really work. 

But here they are anyway!

Thanks so much for coming, Madie!
