Forever Family

September 9, 2008 was Mom and Dad's 9 year anniversary, and we celebrated the best way we could think of. The boys looked like angels when they were brought into the sealing room. X was a little cherub at the altar where Grandma Lora held him. He looked quite at home in the temple: all white and sweet. And Oliver was a well-behaved little man as he sat on Shayna's lap. Brent's uncle Alan did an exceptionally beautiful job officiating the sealing. Heaven was tangible. Thanks to our dear family members and friends who joined us last Tuesday night in the Jordan River Temple for this special event. We took lots of photos afterward. We look a little wind-battered, but we feel very blessed.

My Favorite Place is Close to Brother

Six Month Check Up

X was six months old on August 21st. His check up was delayed because our pediatrician's wife had a baby on our original appointment date. But we got in to see the doctor on Wednesday, and here is our report: 18 pounds 11oz ( 77%) and 28 inches (93%). 100% cute. Lennox was very brave for his shots--he only cried briefly. He is sitting up well; and when he tips over, he scoots himself backwards on his tummy. He is endeavoring to give himself a concussion, we think. He bucks and squirms and throws himself around. He's a madman in the bath and always leaves the whole bathromm drenched. We can't believe how quickly he is growing and changing. By the way, on August 4th, Lex was the same age Oliver was when Oliver became Big Brother.
