Well, got some good news tonight that Michael and Nicole are the proud parents of a new baby boy named Henry James Seger this evening!  He weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces.  Don't have any length yet. Baby and Mom are doing fine as far as I know.  Haven't heard a lot nor do I have any pictures but there will be more to come, I'm sure....

Went into Keokuk today to do a little shopping and get Mom a haircut.  Stopped by a waterfall on the way back that is the subject of a painting in the temple.  It is a pretty site.

This is the way the pioneers drained the water that ran into the flats that swamped the area below the temple.  They ran canals and diverted the water from flowing into the flats and making it into a swamp.  This is one of the canals that they use for the diversions.  Here are some shots from the park area.  Highway 96 is just below the park.  Nauvoo is a mile or so to the right.

Oh, and we got our 2015 sweatshirts for our mission.  Sweet!  Mine is maroon and Arlene's is forest green.  Cool, huh?  You don't see these just everywhere.
