Back!

Hi!  We're back.  We lost our camera for awhile, so of course, I couldn't post anything.  But, we have a new one now, so we're back in business!

Few updates since June:
~We were sick, one at a time.  Bleh!
~Brian's parents came for a baptism.  We sure love their visits! 
~We enjoyed the 4th of July with our Utah cousins.  Fun
~We visited my parents in California.  Had lots of fun!  This one will get another post.
~I got in a minor car crash.  No one hurt, but a pain to deal with getting the car fixed.  Aargh.

 ~Nate had some medical testing done. (He had a series of 7 choking episodes in 3 weeks.  Not just the cough-cough-normal baby choking kind, but the death choke where no air is in or out.  These experiences were causing him to be fearful of eating, and he really wouldn't eat.  Several different tests confirmed that he doesn't have any physiological problems with his throat or with swallowing.  He fasted for 4 hours before each test.  It was so hard on both of us.  However, he seems more interested in eating since the first bout of fasting.  We still don't know why he was choking, but we hope it doesn't happen again.)

~One of neighbors, who has been unemployed for about 2 years, got a job.  We are so grateful and excited for her!
~ Brian's sister and her husband were able to finally find the right baby for their family.   We feel very very grateful and excited for them!  And we can't wait to meet him!
~We went to Orderville for a quick family reunion. You've never been there?  Wait, you've never heard of it?  I hadn't either, but it is a cute little town close to Bryce Canyon, and close to the east side of Zion.  We got to stay in a great big house with all the families.  It was so good to see my cousins I don't see very often. 

Nate update: We learned he LOVES animals and bugs and has no fear.  He nuzzled his head right into horses' noses.  He watched us feed some goats and then picked up the corn off the ground and fed them.  His hand wasn't even flat!  The goat nibbled his finger and he giggled. 

Camden: Has come out of his reluctant, I don't want to do anything you ask me to do stage.  And, he is so delightful again! He slept on the top bunk of a bunk bed at my parents' house, and now he wants his own.  He is too smart for my own good.

Pictures to come next time.  Probably tomorrow.  :)
