Trip to Utah: Sept 12-14

On Thursday, September 11th, we had our ultrasound and we found out that we are going to have a little girl! Her name will be Olivia. Since we were already going to be in Utah for the weekend, we decided to wait to tell our families the good news in person. We bought some cute baby girl outfits, wrapped them up, and had our families open them to see what the baby's gender is. Here are some of their reactions:

The reason we were in Utah that weekend was to hear Daniel's youngest sister, Amanda, who is 15 years old, perform the third movement of Saint-Saens's second piano concerto. Because Amanda won the annual University of Utah SummerArts piano competition, she was invited to play with an orchestra at the University of Utah. This is the second time she has been able to perform in this concert, and again, she did a great job! (And don't you love her dress?!) Go Amanda!!!

And the last exciting news is that Olivia's cousin, Belle, who will be in the same year of school, was born on September 11th at a healthy 6 lbs. 15 oz. We are glad that Belle is healthy and we can't tell if she looks more like her mom, Heather, or her dad, Platte. What a cutie!
