Camping

This weekend Will and his brother took all of the girls camping out in the desert over night. It was very brave of them! They went hiking in one of the canyons, made s'mores and through rocks into the creek. They went about 2 hours southwest of Boise on the other side of the Owyhee mountains. It won't be too much longer when the snow will shut the roads down and this part of the state will be cut off until next April. They all had a good time. Those of us left behind had a nice time too!

Sweet Success

I went and bought a new swing for The Boy this afternoon hoping that it would help him to sleep without me having to hold him every moment of the day. Of course he screamed the whole time I was putting it together, but once it was done and I put him in it he was out. Sweet!!

Coming Soon

Hi, everyone!

I'm sorry that I don't have any new pictures up of The Boy. We've been having some technical difficulties so as soon as we can get them resolved I will put up some new photos. I can tell you that he is growing fast and is as handsome as ever. We're still working on a name, but I'm happy to say that we have narrowed it down to a few choices. Now it's a matter of trying to figure out which one suits him best. I'll keep you informed.

Love to you all.

Highland Dancing

Yesterday Moira competed in her first Highland Dance competition. It was here in town at the Boise Highland Games. We were so proud of her just for getting up on stage and dancing in front of people. She did great in spite of having to dance in the rainy cold. It was a good experience for her and she had a good time.

A New Family Member

Here is our long awaited baby, affectionately known as "The Boy". He was born on Saturday, September 8th at 2:40 pm. We were able to leave the hospital the next afternoon. It was good to get home and jump into a new life with our expanded family.

The girls adore their baby brother and smother him with hugs and kisses. Even Kyla has joined Moira in the mother hen role, making sure that he is properly wrapped up and contented.

We still don't have a name picked out. I was really hoping that he would be born with one of those stickers that says "Hello, My Name is...". Alas, he wasn't so Will and I are working on the monumental task of finding a good name for him. As we get to know him better in the next couple of weeks, we will come up with something special.
