The mighty Mississippi

The river was flooding everywhere. Some road were closed leaving Nauvoo. It is interesting to see the power of nature.
Spring as come and Nauvoo is so beautiful. So many different trees in blossom, green grass everywhere. How we will miss this beautiful place. The river hold a magic that I have never know before. It is a different scene every day.

How great to have another boy in the family. He looks a little like his Daddy. What a joy it is going to be to come home to such darling Grandchildren.

We are so blessed to have so many healthy happy little ones.

Maxfield's In Nauvoo May 2008

Spring finally made it to Nauvoo. I almost thought I was in Woodland with the long cold winter. But very little snow.
We had a wonderful visit with Derek, Stacy and the girls. What a delight they are.

We didn't realize how homesick we were. We can hardly wait to be home with them all again.

We are soo busy that the weeks left here and flying by. We have a lot to do. So I don't want to wish this time away.

Nauvoo is a very special place. The people who were here so many years ago have come alive for me here. I love and honor them for their sacrifice and courage.



The people who are here now have become such special friends. Dear good people I shall love forever.

I realize more every day how blessed we are. How did we ever get to come to the world at this very wonderful time.
It just makes me want to be so much better and to do so much more.
