We are back!! Actually we have been back in Utah for a month now but there is no place like home! The summer was good as well as Virginia. Roanoke was a nice place to live and was beautiful.
Emalyn seemed to grow from a baby to a little girl (even though she's still 'baby'). We were able to visit family on the way back home which was really nice! We went as a family to Brinley's grave which was memorable and sweet. Also, many of Doug's family had not seen Emalyn for several months so it was nice to reconnect.
One of the first things we did when we got back was going camping. We found a gorgeous place in the Uinta Mountains and had all our gear. We had everything we needed and set up camp and were enjoying nature when the big, dark rain clouds rolled in. Emalyn headed for the tent and had fun inside while Doug stayed out in the steady rain with the fire. Needless to say he was hating life. Emalyn did turn into a little bit of a disaster once everything was muddy and she was falling all over the place. It was definitely a camping trip we will remember - an adventure!
We also recently went to "The Cabin" in New Mexico. We were able to spend some time with Doug's family and to see some wildlife. It was beautiful!!
Liam will be here sooner than later - November 8th is the due date but we will see. I am feeling like Liam is going to come out with a six-pack and be solid muscle because he can punch and kick!! Holy moly! However, this pregnancy has been like night and day compared to my last pregnancy so maybe we will have some more kids. :)
I am trying so hard to get my last two classes done before the little man comes and I don't know if I can get it done. I cannot wait to be graduated and to not have to worry about school on top of everything else anymore.
Doug is taking a few classes at BYU
and just took a 4 day "Great Life" seminar. I think Doug enjoyed the comradeship (like usual) and enlightenment. I am glad to have him home again and glad for his more emotional connection. "Great Life" for life! hahaha!
PUMPKIN TIME!! We went to Aunt Ruth's and picked out our pumpkins on Sunday (10/11/09). Emalyn enjoyed sitting on a big one and then slid right off into a bed of rocks. Ouch! But she still likes her pumpkin - thankfully. I have decided that I will paint my belly orange and be a pumpkin for Halloween. :) (if I haven't 'popped' by then)
donkey. Camri, Tracy, and baby Alexis joined us a little later, and the girls got to watch the boys do what boys do best - be silly. Doug and Tracy decided to go down the make-shift slide in potato sacks. Needless to say, Tracy hit a big bump and about took Doug out. Exciting times on the farm!!
