What's Happening

Life is busy, busy, busy! Chris is working hard as Elders Quorum President in our ward, and he's always in meetings. Add to that his busy work schedule and the two classes he's taking this semester (EMS and Family Finance) and I never see him. I was called last Sunday to serve as the secretary in the Stake Relief Society presidency, and they have already put me to work. It looks like I too will be living in meetings from now on. But it's great to serve the Lord in any way we can, and we have great people here in our ward and stake.

I know I have been lax on the postings, but I also had a root canal last week, and it is killing me. Seems like it's always something with my teeth. Also the kids have been passing a cough and cold between them for weeks. Nathaniel seems to be ok right now, but Lindsey has it pretty bad. And Bradley had croup a couple of nights last week. I can't wait until they are all well again.


Silly kids! Chris caught them goofing around one morning at breakfast. Lindsey loves to do everything her brothers do, including making funny faces. They are so funny together. She also is living life as a nudist these days, and she strips down to her diaper as soon as she possibly can. Whenever I get her dressed, it's the same thing: first she takes the barrettes or ribbons out of her hair, then she takes off her socks and shoes, and then the clothes come off. I don't know how she stands it as cold as it has been here. Even though we have the heater cranked all the time, it can hardly fight the 1 degree temperatures outside! (We've even gotten into the negatives overnight a few times! Oh how I long to be in the warm south!!!!)


We found our little angel fast asleep at the table one morning. I guess breakfast just wore her out, poor thing. She isn't dangling off the edge, though, so don't panic. She had been kneeling on her stool and just lay down on the counter for a nap. I know how she feels.



What a good little mommy, always taking care of her baby. Linds loves her newborn cabbage patch baby that she got for her birthday. She is always concerned that the baby might be hungry or sleepy or cold . . . she loves to tuck her into bed for a nap. (Just like real mommies do!)

WHAT?? This baby is hungry AGAIN???

How 'bout those special effects? Chris is getting pretty good with Photoshop! This is Lindsey after church last week. That skirt is getting too short for her, so I wanted to get some pictures before she outgrows it completely.

Bradley loves his sister so much! Both of the boys are great big brothers. I am so happy and fortunate that my kids seem to really care for each other, although they do fight and argue like all siblings do.

Well, last week I told you Bradley had his hearing tested. Even though his doctor originally told us he did not have an ear infection, the tympanogram they did at the hearing center proved otherwise; he does have an infection in one ear, and this was affecting his hearing somewhat. We are hoping it will clear up on its own, and we will take him in for a retest this week sometime. He seems to be hearing a little better.
