Who is that?

Recently a woman at Church (Linda Goodchild) gave Lisa a couple of pictures she had found at her house. They look to me like pictures that were taken on a trip we took to Kirtland. These would be anywhere from Fall 1993 to Spring 1994. I think we still look pretty much the same.

December image gallery update

I’ve put up a few small galleries of things that have happened over the last month or so.

  • 20061105 Lisa’s Craft Sale – This was Lisa’s 4th annual craft sale. Maxine Elliott also participated. These are some pictures of the living room all setup for the sale. There a good picture of Andrew with his candy apple table.
  • 20061111-12 Poppy Days 1 and 2 – These are a few pictures that Julia took on the Saturday, and then some that I took on the Sunday. She’s pretty cute! (Poppy, not Julia…)
  • 20061125 Apple Crisp Service Project – Every October or November the Ward has a short service project where we use apples that are donated by some members with a farm and make apple crisps that are then donated to a local organization. It’s quite a production line we have going, but it’s a lot of fun.
  • 20061126 Setting up for Christmas – These are some pictures of us setting up our Christmas tree. The boys are so excited!

She’s a porker!

Poppy and I went to see our midwife today so she could be weighed. At our appointment last week, Poppy should have weighed 10 pounds, 5 ounces but was short an ounce. Well, she more than made up for it this week. Today Julie weighed Poppy again and she was 11 pounds 5 ounces. A whole pound in one week! Julie is very happy about Poppy’s progress, thinks she is a very healthy little girl and is thriving. We go back to see Julie in two weeks, will be discharged from her care, and referred to a pediatrician. Just wanted to let you know that Poppy is right on track and growing like a weed.

Some interesting stories in the news

Women talk more than men: study – I guess it depends on who is talking. Brianna… not so much. Lisa and Julia… quite a bit, especially when they are up late in the kitchen and I’m trying to sleep 🙂

Study: Mom’s wrong, slouching is good for you – President Hinckley spoke about not dressing “slouchy” at the last General Conference. I guess we can slouch physically as long as we are dressed ok.
