Kissed by an Angel

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I wanted to post a couple of pictures I took yesterday. Morgan was kissed by and angel before she was born. She has a hemangioma across the bottom of her back. It almost looks like a red tattoo or like someone kissed her while wearing red lipstick. It is quite symetrical. The Dr's said it will probably "puff up a little" or swell and then start to go away, but it may take several years. It is totally harmless but so interesting. She is still a sweet sweet baby. One of these day I hope to put a new family picture on here but the chance of us all being decent looking together at the same time is slim to none. We will see. We are traveling to Portland OR/Vancouver WA this weekend to see some friends and attend Tim's step-sister's baby's blessing. I will take lots of pics to post next week. Miss you all and love you.

Here are some pictures of Morgan. I have found that she is not very photogenic. The pictures do not do her justice. (mom's say that, I guess) She is such a sweet baby. She is on a pretty good schedule. She naps 3 good long naps a day and goes to bed around 10p.m then wakes up around 2:30-3:30, then back to bed until 6:30-7. I am functioning like a mostly normal person again. I am LOVING not being pregnant and the thought of doing it again makes me blahhhhhh. I usually really really want to nap by about 1 but it all depends on how the day is going. I have noticed that the time goes by so much quicker now with new baby. Laundry is never ending and this tiny tiny house is full of mish mosh. I have run out of space to put things away. Actually there is no "away" it's just piles and shiftings now. Tim and I have really enjoyed our time here in WA but with each passing day we are anxious for a change. Our primary program is this Sunday and it will be nice to get that out of the way. It is hard to get back into the swing of things after several weeks away. I am so excited to come to Utah for Christmas. My head is already churning about the logistics of the trip. (mom's do that, I guess). A long trip and new baby, with baby supplies, some Christmas presents, hidden, winter/snow clothes. It all makes a big car small really fast. Well that is all for now because baby just fell asleep, Landon is asleep and I too shall go to sleep before Lauren gets home from school.

Lauren's Sweet Stuff

Lauren has been doing the sweetest things lately.

The picture on the botttom she drew during church on Sunday. Then the one on the top she did during school. Her pictures are becoming very detailed. She has been such a wonderful help with Morgan. She is so compassionate and concerned with the well being of others. She hates when others are hurt or sad. Anyway I just thought it would be fun to show this cute stuff.

Halloween!! (of course)

We had a very fun Halloween. It was so fun to have Nags and Whit and Matt and Kaylin here to play with us. It was so sad to take them to the airport. We visited Tim at work so the kids could Trick-or-treat at the hospital. Then we went to the airport in Pacso to drop off our visitors. Later that night we went to the ward house for the Trunk-or treat. A much safer option around these neck of the woods. There was a carnival and light dinner. The kids had lots of fun. I am so glad that it is over!! Thanks for the awesome costumes grandma. If it weren't for you my kiddies would have been wrapped in toilet paper and gone as mummies.
