Our Sunday afternoon family walk. 

The irony of today's photo is that it doesn't include Eric. It was quite the big day for him. I went to church early for a meeting, and he brought all the kids not long afterward for us to meet with a member of the Stake Presidency a half-hour before church started. We had no idea what was coming--Eric was called to be the new 2nd counselor in the bishopric. He was sustained, ordained a high priest, and set apart that day. It was kind of a whirlwind, and we were still reeling from the surprise by the end of the day. But the thing I will remember the most about the day was telling the Bishop and the member of the stake presidency in our small gathering after sacrament meeting, that on Friday night when Eric got the phone call asking for that early-morning meeting, while I sat thinking and speculating, he simply said, "Whatever it is, you show up and say yes."

He is amazing and such an example to me.
