I just posted a blog about Hayden's first attempt at Photography.  He's not half bad, if you ask this very biased Momma.  Also check out the latest posts on both Craig and my blogs, as well as the Prop 8 tab on our website regarding the Proposition 8 campaign.  I am only begining to understand the very real implications of this measure.  

A couple of weeks after we moved in we opened the hot tub, and to our surprise, two frogs were snuggling under the lid.  The one, much smaller, was sitting on the larger one.  The kids said, oh, look a mother is holding her baby on it's back.  I smiled

A few weeks later we noticed our sandbox, which was full of water after the insane amount of rain, had a bunch of tiny "seeds" in it.   I wondered but said nothing.  

Two days after that, presto, 300 tiny tadpoles were swimming around.  Wow!!  

 I'm going to be a bit mysterious, but we need some video clips from everyone if possible.  I think they'll need to be digital.  I'm letting you know early to give everyone lots of time.  I'm sure there are ways to email us some files, but that is not my department, so I have no idea how to do such technical stuff.  I'm just passing this message along.  We'd love some from Monica too.  And just don't ask any questions around Christmas time:)  

Hello family. What a nice weekend for conference. It rained all day Saturday, which meant True didn't need to be out working and could stay inside and watch conference with us. It was great. I loved the talks and feeling the strength from the Brethren. My favorite quote was " Faith is not just a feeling, it is a decision". (I don't remember who said it.) It helped me realize I need to be doing more.

oh goodness, it's been so long.  Dad and Mom posted a bunch about what was happening while we were moving, and we've talked to most of you, but here's an update.  By the way, Craig, the site is so great.  I love the kids at the top.  

See our family website for some fun updates, including pics of Hayden and some pictures from Craig's birthday.  I am trying to blog there a couple of times a week, so check back often.  Love you.

This Past Sunday Mom and I were released after nearly 5 years of Ward missionary service.  It has been a wonderful time meeting lots of Sisters and Elders.  There are some very special relationships that have been built with some converts and activated members.
