Another year over..

Wow, it has been awhile since I was last here.  In case you didn't know, we have a new baby.  : )

Gwen was feeding him, and he was having fun.

It's hard to find a picture of Gwen, because she's usually behind the camera

  Elijah is 7 months old now, born on April 1st.  He is a sweet boy who loves us all so much.  He is trying to crawl, although really he wants to run and jump.

DJ, Gwen, and William are singing with the International Children's Choir.  They love it and they are doing a phenomenal job of learning the music, according to Dr. Sorenson.  I guess all that hymn singing at home is paying off!

Oliver loves to sing, too.  He also likes doing chores, like weeping the floor and unloading the dishwasher.  He loves to go for rides and run errands with Mom.

Amanda loves horses and playing with friends.  She is great a entertaining the baby.  She is looking forward to her turn to sing in the Choir.

Lyman is happily working at Coda Octapus Colmek.  He is serving as the 11-year old Scout leader.  He stays busy away from work with the MANY house and yard projects we have.  (Seriously, our prioritized list is three pages long.)

As for me, I am learning to work harder and more consistently at cleaning the kitchen, along with all the other household chores.  That and cleaning out the house room by room.  I want to let all the stuff we don't need find homes with people who do need it and will love it.  Then we will have more room for the Spirit and the things we do need.
