An update

We've been crazy busy traveling these last few weeks. We've were in Utah almost every weekend in October except for the weekend we were in Arizona for Cameron's and Ashley's wedding.

Our ward has been trying to give us a calling for the last month or so but we were never in town. Finally today they caught us at home and we are now team teachers of the CTR 8A class. I love being a primary teacher, it's my favorite calling, and consider it an added bonus that I get be partners with Ryan.

I really don't have much more to write, unless you want me to bore you with my musings on the health care monstrosity the House of Representatives passed yesterday. Nah, I didn't think so, I'll just leave you with some cute pictures of my kiddos (and Jax) on Halloween.

Why we don't need economic illiterates trivializing the dangers of socialized medicine and spouting abject nonsense on YouTube.

This is a rebuttal to the video Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance.



The man who made this video runs How The World Works channel on YouTube. Which is a very appropriate name for what he does!

Enjoy!

Marshall Ryan

(Marshall, July 1, 2009)

Yes I realize this post is three weeks late but better late than never, right?!

Marshall was born on July 1, 2009 after a mere 27 hours of labor. He was 7lbs 13oz and 18 inches long. Now three weeks later he is 7lbs 11oz (not quite back to birth weight) and 20.5 inches long. He's a very good baby which has been so helpful with all the other stuff we have going on right now. He is a wonderful addition to our family and Joe and Sadie adore him (sometimes too much). We love him and can't remember what life was like without him.

Imagine a current picture of him posted here. I was going to post one but he is sleeping right now and I'm not waking him to take a picture. Maybe I'll post it later.



These two are the best I could get before he had a complete meltdown.
