My boys are not fans of sitting in their Sunday clothes in church.

Obviously.

We grow into things, though, don't we? Thank heaven.

I Miss Writing

I have missed posting on my blog. A complete catch-up is overwhelming, so some arbitrary updates will have to suffice. In May I started working at Ruesch & Reeve, a law firm in Hurricane, Utah. Great lawyers and the entire office is full of nice people. I feel really, really fortunate. Mostly I work from home, so between Tyler and me the children are getting where they need to go. This is me, you guys ! I carry a briefcase and everything! Tyler is on sabbatical. He's working on several projects but he is around a lot more, which is really nice. We celebrated our 17th anniversary in July by going to a diner where the air conditioning wasn't working. Romance! This is us at the diner. Kidding, couldn't find the picture. The kids are back in school and one of them started high school. One of them started high school. I know we're old enough to have a kid in high school. We're old enough to be grandparents, for crying out loud. But this...it is still an adjustment.

Pretend its July 7th

A little girl that I affectionately call "C2" recently had a birthday. On July 7, t0 be exact. That's right, she and daddy have birthdays right next to each other. I love her. We had a tough time for the first few months of her life. But with every little layer of independence she becomes a little more content. Some of our favorite things about her include: her beautiful smile, so easy to get her little bouts of crankiness marked by a squeal, shaking of the head and throwing out her arm and waving it as if to say "stay away from me" her affectionate nature - even as a very young baby she would put her head on my shoulder or chest and just rest it there, wide awake (loves giving dad cuddles, too) her adoration of her big sister Claire and her love of books. She just loves to look and listen to us read. It's adorable. If you have made it to the end of this post, here's the big news. I am twelve weeks pregnant today. The baby

Some facts about the birthday girl

She’s pretty when she cries. Most people’s faces get all kinds of ugly when they cry, but her face is still beautiful. And it’s a good thing too, because she cries 7 or 8 times a day.When things are going well. She makes the best chocolate chip cookies EVER. Debra has very insightful opinions on all things Hollywood—directors, actors, movies, etc. I have stopped thinking for myself. She’s the pickiest lettuce eater on planet earth. Sometimes it’s too white, sometimes it’s too green, sometimes it’s just too lettucey. She’ll eat about 4% of the lettuce in your average salad. She’s very easy to comfort. This is because she tells me exactly what I need to say to comfort her. For example: Deb: “Honey, I’m worried about our finances. Tell me everything will be OK”. Me: “Everything will be OK” Deb (in tears) “You’re so comforting!” She can get ready for work in about 25 minutes—24 of which are in the shower. No kidding. She is a very good mother, and loves her da
