Exciting Times!

Snuggly baby

Well, it's been awhile... bloggers block, again. And We've just been really busy! We had 3 different appointments 3 days in a row this past week!! Quincey had his 12 month check-up. He is now in the 25 percentile for weight!!! and 50% for height. Pretty crazy how much he looks like a little boy now, and less like a baby. I also had my check up and we got to hear the heartbeat and the baby seems to be doing great! Time is going fast...

Last Thursday Geren and I were invited to something for people who had a connection with a state in Germany called Saarland. Most of them were missionaries that had served there once upon a time, some back in the 60's! It was held in the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake, and it was real intimate, only about 100 people. AND President Uchtdorf (this was of course right before he was called to the First Presidency) was there. And Marlin K. Jensen was there as well, and we got to talk to both of them. We also got to sit real close to the podium while President Uchtdorf spoke. It was neat to meet them in such a laid back setting. The food was really good as well, They served a buffet of German foods. All in all, I thought it was such a neat opportunity that would be hard to be apart of if we weren't in Utah. Plus we got to have an excuse to get a baby sitter. And yes, we had to miss the premiere episode of Lost, but we caught it online, the next day.... don't worry ;)

Standing in line at the viewing, luckily it was a very nice day.

The next day, we decided to head up to President Hinckley's viewing. We had to wait a little less than 3 hours, but I thought it was very worth it. It was evident by the feeling once you walked in that room, that he was someone who spent his life in a great way. It was inspirational.
What a line!

On the way to the conference center, we found Quince's street... tee hee, Mostly I add this because I know my mother's sense of humor, and she will appreciate it.

Well, I think that is about all that has been going on for now. But these are exciting times!

Hey! As soon as I have more than "just a minute" on the computer, I am going to down load a picture of my kids and Quincy and stick it on my blog. Ok its a street sign but it is his correct spelling. :)
