Winter '08


It's a girl! Here's her cute little profile. We used to be convinced the ultrasound ladies were just good at acting like they could see things in the black and white dots and just hope you wouldn't call them on it. This time we can actually see something. Reagan began praying for a sister a few weeks before the ultrasound and now has a new found testimony of prayer. She's convinced her sister's name should be "Zella."

We spent Christmas in O'Fallon this year. We realized during the week of Christmas that we'd never spent Christmas in our own home before. We've both spent 6 of our last 8 Christmas holidays out of the country, dating back to our missions (Rome, Grand Cayman, Chile -2 x's, St. Maarten, Trinidad and Fiji.) It was neat spending Christmas in our own home, with our own tree, in our own beds.

Erin is still plugging away as Relief Society President...doing a tremendous job. I'm very much enjoying my work with Partners In Leadership and trying to survive a Financial Accounting class, among others, on the weekends. Life is good.

Erin and Tanner! Congrats on the little girl! We're so excited for you guys. Our babies will be about the same age, we're due with a little boy in early April! I guess Reagan can now apply her prayers towards the name... good luck with that one. :) Sweet Reagan. Lucky for you guys, you are awesome with girls. Take care, Tristen & Ken (www.kenandtris.blogspot.com)

Congratulations! 2 girls will be fun. Believe it or not my great-grandma's name is Zella. Oh the crazy pioneer names. I also have a great-grandma named Zora. When I was pregnant with my first girl my dad dared me to name her Zella Zora. We went with Madeline Nicole instead. Good luck!
