Kirtland - this little spot felt so hallowed

Playing Boxcar Children - at least we got the box part and Benny's pink cup. :)

J-boy to the rescue!! ("Come on, Baby A!!! Just one little smile. It's okay - I just want to take one picture - just one smile, honey!" Then J-boy starts making some weird indescribable J-boy noise, and the smiles come out in abundance.)
