Barbara and I and mom went to the Springville art museum on Friday to see the original print of "
Weighing the Baby." It was painted by our many times great grandfather, Carl, Christen Anton Christensen.
We first heard about the painting because it was on the cover of a book we read called "A House Full of Females." This picture was done by CCA for his good friend and ex-missionary companion upon the birth of one of his children. The first wife is in the foreground helping the midwife weight the baby, while another wife is recovering in the bed. They husband is peeking in the door.
While we were at the Art Museum we took time to see the beautiful quilts on display. It was amazing to see so much talent in one place. This was just one room of many! You can see why quilts rightly belong in an art museum!
We stopped for a great lunch at the Trolley Restaurant. It is amazing how much fun you can have in a small town like Springville!
