I guess it is never really clear.


It is really funny how it changed with different pictures. I guess it is the margin of error. Russ was really pleased with this one because he wanted to see something of Megan's that came from him.

Megan's

Mom's Turn

See what I mean?




This is living proof of Megan's favorite pastime. I am helping her in one picture because she noticed me and was trying to grin when I was taking her picture. I have a klassy baby. I have seen her suck on her thumb a couple times, but clearly she likes other appendages. I am not sure what I am going to do with her. She is so funny. She has turned into such a motor mouth. It can be constant. Like right now, she is complaining in the background. I usually wake to her yelling in her crib, happy as a clam. She also enjoyes adding her comments during Relief Society.

I Heart NY!








On Tuesday, we went down to New York City. It was so fun. We strolled through Central Park, went through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Lincoln Center, Ground Zero, Chinatown, Times Square and Rockefeller Center (did I leave anything out?). We would have (and could have!) done so much more, but Megan is definitely not a city girl. She is more of a stay at home and play with her toes kind of girl. But, I think she had a fun time. She really liked the Museum and looking at all the people and the bright colors of the paintings. She also enjoyed sucking on dad's finger. Oh well, a baby can only have so much class. She also loved the vents on the trains, and I had to keep a close eye on her to make sure she didn't suck on them. We came back Friday afternoon. I also saw two sculptures that I have always liked, and look forward to seeing the Museum of Modern Art next time we go down.

Settled at Last


We finally made it to Connecticut! We arrived on Friday the 17th. It was a good car trip through parts of the country that I had never been through. The weather is amazing. We spent the first couple of days getting everything settled in and set up. Other then a few missing odds and ends, everything is good. Our summer as homeless bums is finally over. Our apartment is much bigger then the one in Provo, and it has so much storage!! We actually have room to store more! It is has been hard in some ways to find a place to put it all, I am so used to our apartment in Provo and how everything was arranged there. We did live there for almost 3 years so it is not too surprising. We look forward to starting a new chapter in our lives.

My New Cousin!!





Rebecca had her baby on the 15th, which is the same as her Grandpa's birthday. Megan was fascinated with her (although you can't really tell by the first picture). Hopefully the next time that we see them, Lilyanne Claire will be ready to play! The three girls are pretty close to each other in age, and will be good friends. The pushing part of the birth took about 10 minutes. I hope that it is the same for me my second time around! Rebecca delivered the day before we left, so it was good timing. My little one looks so grown up and huge next to her. It is so hard to believe that Megan was ever even smaller than Lily. They grow up so fast (sniff!).
