Can I tell you a little about Gray?

I feel like we've been so busy that Gray just isn't getting the attention he deserves... on the blog I mean!

(By the way, he's way bigger than this now)

This picture is from a place called "Suicide Hill" in Canada and it is where our little Gray gave his first smiles (to his Daddy, the fun one)

So what is Gray like as a baby?

He is:

-Curious

-So very interested in his brothers

-Smitten with his Mommy and Daddy

-So beautiful

-Social

-My sweet little Babypies

-HAPPY

He has:

-The craziest, cutest curly hair!

-BIG blue eyes

-Kissable cheeks

-A sweet little voice

-One brother who will show him all about sports, and one who adores his every move (except when he cries too loud to hear his movie or whatever) and will show him how to draw

-The luckiest family on earth

We love you Googers!

To make a LONG story short

We limped along to a little town 2 hours shy of Edmonton, Alberta where we found an RV shop.  We learned that indeed both axles were bent.

Do you know what that means?  I'll tell ya!

-leaving the trailer and driving two hours to Edmonton

-6 nights in a hotel (in a major city, ouch)

-2 custom axles made in Edmonton

-Poor Ben driving the axles the 2 hours back to the RV shop and waiting all day for them to be installed.

YIKES!

But we certainly had much more peace of mind for the rest of the trip.  Did I mention the truck has no AC and the blower fan broke during the trip?  Combine that with our spendy stay in Canada and we didn't stop 'til we made it to Utah.  What a trip....

We made it, but on Sundays I can't help missing these people:

We love and miss you all who stole our hearts in Alaska!

Ugh, life can be so bitter-sweet.

More to come soon.
