Wilson Family Reunion

Perry and I flew back to Illinois for Adam's graduation from the Univ. of Illinois. It was Morgan's 50th birthday as well. This was Monday's military graduation and Morgan's birthday. Yes...we are all short people..except that strapping 6'3" Marine. Morgan cheated and wore his cowboy boots (with heels ha!)
This is Adam on Sunday graduating with his degree in aviation. Hoping to become a Marine fighter pilot!
Cheryl and Morgan...proud parents....and so they should be. He is a fine young man.
The Wilson reunion included visiting Springfield to see Lincoln's home, tomb and Presidential museum and library. This is Lincoln's tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery. It was windy and cool and in the 60's...guess who didn't want to go home?
The Lincoln museum and library complex. It was like being at Disneyland with all the theaters and presentations and galleries. We all had a great time. Just missing my hubby...that's all...

Baptism

Mark is the Ward Mission Leader and was involved with helping a Russian lady in our ward to be taught the Gospel. I played for her wedding a few months ago and got to play for her baptism last Saturday. Carter's neighbor served a mission to Russia so he came along to help teach as well. It was so cool to hear him give the opening prayer in Russian. Boy would I like to go over there! Sveta(Svetlana)and her little 3 year old Vica (Victoria) I am counting on her to teach me some crochet secrets, she crocheted the darling little hat on her daughter. She does just about everything and doesn't even need patterns.
