'Twas the day after Christmas

Uncle Nate treated us to a day of cross-country skiing. In spite of his being overrun with other customers, he was extremely kind, gentle and attentive. We had a wonderful time and are anxious to go back and take advantage of his graciousness. Thank you Uncle Nate!

Labor and Delivery

Mabel was born on the first day of winter in American Fork, UT. She is healthy and Melinda is doing very well.

Mabel Sees Visitors

Mabel's family is so excited to receive her and believe she is as cute as can be. She is alert and ready to meet family and friends.

Fun Family Home Evening

We had such a fun time decorating ginger bread houses. I think the parents had almost as much fun as the kids.

Ada's Poster

I just thought this was sweet. Ada made this little sign and countdown chain. She is having major eye surgery on Thursday (for her detached retina), and she has been quite nervous about it. We are also nervous, but we are so thankful that the problem was discovered and that there are procedures that can be done to fix the problem. Thursday will probably only be the first of several procedures.

7 Weeks to Go

This is a picture of my big belly at 33 weeks. I have had a pretty good pregnancy thus far. I'm now getting into the big awkward stage and have all of the late pregnancy aches and pains that go along with it. I am excited about the arrival of our new little daughter, and I can't wait to see who she looks like and what her personality will be. I know she will be worth all of the hard work it is to have a baby. They are all worth it.

Jennifer's Visit

We had so much fun with my sister Jennifer and her daughter Amelia last week. They were visiting from Las Vegas. We had fun shopping, visiting the park, at Thanksgiving Point, and celebrating Amelia's Birthday. Gavyn was in heaven with someone to play with all day. He gets so bored with just me every day.
