Bryant's birth!


Graduation Dennis with MIL

Graduation Dennis with sister, dad, and mom

Bryant was sleeping for this pic.

Emma LOVES Bryant! He gets at least 100 kisses
a day from her, that's not an exaggeration! She is
a great big sister.

A hot Texas summer afternoon





YEAH we can finally go swimming every day!!!


These last two months have been a whirlwind! We had the birth of our third baby, Dennis graduated and is officially a doctor, and we moved! It's all definitely a lot to have happen in two months time. Actually it mostly all took place in one months time, it's just taken me two months to find time to blog about!
Bryant is a trooper! He has handled the craziness so well. He is also a very good baby. He sleeps 8 to 9 hour stretches at night. I know without a doubt the Lord blessed us by sending us a sweet little baby that could handle everything our family has needed to do in the last little while. We are very grateful to have him in our family.
We miss many things about Wisconsin. A few are: friends, the library, the beautiful green summers, and Dennis says the weather. However, I DO NOT miss the weather in WI. While we miss WI we completely love Texas! I LOVE the heat!!!! Although I am grateful for a house with central air! A few things we like about Texas: Small town USA!, the people are so friendly, the Walmarts are clean and stocked (if you've lived in Milwaukee you know what I mean), having a house for the first time in our married lives, dishwashers, washers and dryers, a yard, etc..
Our church is in a town 10 miles north of us. We get to drive 70 mph to get to church and there are no stoplights!
We got a statement from our old apts. in WI we lived there a grand total of 1,439 days, yes they provided us with this info. who keeps track of this stuff? They were great days and we miss our friends. We have been so blessed over the last four years. We are so grateful for the hand of the Lord in our lives!

I was so bummed I never got to see Bryant in person! But he's darling and congratulations!!

Congratulations, too, for graduation and the move. I would give a lot to have my dry air and small towns back, however much I enjoy other things about Wisconsin.

Miss you, but glad to see you've having fun in Texas!!

I'm so glad to see pics of Bryant. I knew you had a baby a while back and was waiting anxiously for pictures. I'm glad you are enjoying Texas. Hopefully we can see you all in person the next time you visit Utah!

WE MISS YOU as well!!!!!!!! The kids look great wow. Macie tells everyone she is moving and when they ask where she says "Texas, when my dad is done with school, like Emma. To bad she doesn't realize you guys will have moved by then as well... I think about you guys everyday and hope you are doing good. When I want to call it is always your nap time, let me know when you give up that precious time so I can call you!!!!
