Date Night

For part of a date night Andrew and I each chose a toy and then we tried to make it out of playdough. I lack artistic ability but I was impressed with Andrew's and we had fun!

Alex's Wedding

My little brother, Alex, got married this last weekend to the most wonderful girl named Catherine. I love weddings and was so excited for both of them! I realized that we didn't get a single picture of them. Oops! Most of mine and Andrew's day was spent explaining to our kids that this was a fun day because they seemed to have a hard time realizing that on their own. :) It was still a wonderful day.

Our kids hang out with their aunt, Talitha, outside the temple during the wedding. They were excited to get a picture of them touching the temple.

I love that Tucker and Miles both got little boutonnieres.

Yay! A garden!

Andrew and I have long awaited the day when we could have a garden! We have been planning it for several months, reading books, and asking advice from our parents because even though we have a lot of enthusiasm we really don't know what we were doing. So far we have planted peas, zucchini, onions, lettuce, & carrots. We also have planted two apple trees in our no-longer-treeless backyard.

Pictures of Miles

Here are some pictures that my wonderful sister-in-law, Kathy, took of Miles. (Adelia and Tucker are in some of them too.) She is so nice to share her talent with us!

Funny Story

The other day I was cleaning in the kitchen and everyone else was at the table doing something when Andrew said something negative about himself. I of course am not a fan of this kind of speaking so I took the wet rag that I was wiping the counter with and threw it at his head. Andrew, Adelia, and Tucker looked up in stunned silence, not sure if I was really mad (I wasn't). The silence was broken by Tucker saying, "My turn!" It caught us offguard and made us all laugh.

Baby Miles is here!

Hooray! Four days late baby Miles finally joined our family. He was 7 lbs 13 oz and 19 & 1/2 in long. He and I are both recovering from labor quickly. Adelia has noticed that he doesn't know how to do much and she is excited to start teaching him. Tucker is fascinated but likes to keep his distance.

Getting ready to head home

Just waiting...

I was telling Andrew the other day how it's funny that pain is never so welcome (at least for me) as when you are nearing the end of your pregnancy. I get so excited when I feel a painful contraction (which have been few and far between). I know that he is late because I was expecting him early. We are ready and excited and still waiting!
