Not much is new around these parts. We are still eating "weird" food and enjoying that. We went to the OKC temple yesterday and had a good experience there. Hinckley's teeth are still coming in, but we are hoping the worst of the process is over for the time being.
Last week we went to the Philbrook Museum with some friends and enjoyed some tasty food at Cafe Samana. We had some friends over for dinner this week and enjoyed some good conversation and food. Work is going really well for me (Greg) and Hinckley seems to be having lots of fun with Kas at home. We are feeling very blessed and happy to be alive and together.
Here are a couple videos and pictures of Hinckley from the past few weeks.
It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...
August 3, 2025 The last three weeks have been a blur as we've had lots of extended family events and excursions. Here are some highlights over the second half of July.

September 28, 2025 This week brought a mix of new experiences and challenges. Hinckley had additional surgery after the chains came out of his gums. It seemed quite painful, but he handled it well. To keep him from being too bored during recovery, I made him watch Cast Away. I visited Kassie at her work and got to see her doctor’s office and meet some of her colleagues. She seems to be doing well and is enjoying learning new skills like giving shots and doing blood draws. Happy guy (photo by Abi) Desmond has been keeping us entertained with his wobbly walking, which takes him everywhere—around the neighborhood, at church, in our backyard, and even on BYU campus when we met up with Mom and Dad to visit the Bean Museum and grab lunch at the Cougar Eat. His favorite spot at home is still the strawberry patch, where he happily eats berries—even though the season is winding down.
