I had so much fun with her on the weekend! Thanks for letting the kids stay overnight. A family at church just named their new baby Nora(h). You're on the brink with this name, just like we were on the brink with Emily.
Emily, do you want to be on the brink? I didn't think so.
Norah is such a babe. You and Sarah make me feel a little guilty with your fastidious photo studio visits. I have never set foot in one with one of my children. Am I a bad mom?
I found your blog through another blog (I think nie nie's?)a few weeks ago and realized you're married to the boy I had a huge crush on in high school! Weird. Glad to see he married someone cool. Tell Steve hey...I'm the shy, geeky girl who used to stare at him during seminary.
Carrie, I'm glad you commented. It's fun for me to run into people who were as taken with Steve Craig as I was during high school. I think there were quite a few of us who were intrigued by the guy. That was when his aura of mystery peaked, I think: longish blonde hair, guitarist in a rock band, gymnastics to make the girls swoon, poetry. . . What a lady killer!!
He's still a pretty cool guy, although, it's funny -- he doesn't do any of those things anymore!
You mean I wasn't the only one? This is hilarious finding all these people I went to high school linking to your blog. Email me at mykids.rock@yahoo.com and I'll send you an invite to my family blog. Love your blog, by the way, you're totally fun.
Em, Norah is beautiful. So glad youguys stopped over unannounced the other day. We are going to miss those kind of treats. I still contend that she is a dead ringer for Amye. I'd love to see a split screen of Norah and Amye at 9 months to see if i'm just imaginging things.
Abby, I don't take my kids in to see the professionals, either. I just take 100's of them on my digital camera. I had too many bad experiences at kiddie kandids with my twins to ever want to go back.
cute pics of Norah, she's getting so big. Okay to Carrie who commented, I think you're my sister-in-law's sister-in-law. Does that make sense? Are you related to Janell and Rob Law?
If you are completely unprepared in (almost) every way to birth your child due to the fact that your body does not really do spontaneous labor and you thought you had a good two weeks to worry about details and thus {house is a mess haven't begun to wash or sort baby clothes no newborn diapers ...or bouncy seat ...or swing ...or nursing pads ...or bassinet/port-a-crib for your room ...or pacifiers packed hospital bag is but a distant dream child's big oral presentation on William Clark is not ready to go baby name is not solidified neighbor kids are coming over tomorrow for a playdate not mentally geared up to go drugfree have tickets to Friday night's football game haven't registered with the hospital no groceries in the house} BUT, you're emotionally and physically ready to not be pregnant anymore and to meet this new precious babe and he has joyously turned his little cute self around so he is head-down after all the fuss about being breech, AND, you tiredly say
Discussions of The Mormons are all over the place. Is it weird that the first time I ever heard of the documentary was the end of last week? Let me opine briefly on what I thought, before I read too many other commentaries by people who can better articulate what I am thinking. I mostly liked it and think it was long overdue. I am kind of fascinated by the reaction people have had to our Church throughout its short history, and I don't just mean the negative reaction, although that part fascinates me the most. Join this newfound religion and leave England to follow a prophet who has seen God? Leave my wife and young kids to fend for themselves on the farm while I go on a mission for three years at a time? Pour tar over people and roll them in feathers? Issue an order to exterminate an entire civilization? Not elect somebody because of his religious affiliation? Teach anti-Mormon classes to the 7th graders at my church so they can approach their Mormon friends fully equipped with kn
I'm taking roll . I'm curious: who is reading this? I think it's important to know, for example, if my inquisitive neighbor has read about herself. What about questionable doctrine lady? What about Carly and Marcy ? If you would, just this once, identify yourself in the comments, I would be most appreciative. Friends, strangers, familial relations, lurkers, stalkers, one and all, please come forward. Make yourself known. You can say "here" or "present" or recount what book you are currently reading or your favorite lyric from your favorite song from The Doors. Anything you want to say. Just say something. Ready? Go.

We will be there sometime around the 15th of September. Shauna said you have a dinner scheduled around then? Maybe we can work something out.

Steve said to tell you hi.
