We had a great time on our two week getaway to UT but now we're home and getting back into the groove of things.  Life is pretty busy.  Paul is gone a lot with Bishop stuff (all sorts of random meetings that all seem to be mandatory) and if he does come home early it's because I have a photo shoot so he comes in as I take off and we often will comment to each other that we miss each other.   We're learning to make the most of time when we are together.  If he were gone this much because of work or golf it would be a lot harder to handle - it hasn't been too hard to step up because I believe this is what he should be doing.
Ty has been such a high light and I'm still blown away by him.  He's a good baby and it has been pretty easy adjusting to five kids.  Of course it makes it that much easier that my body is healthy and I'm not having to deal with milk coming in and the likes.
We're all getting such a huge crush on Ty.  He makes the cutest humming sounds when he eats and has such an easy going nature about him.  It's going to be so fun to watch this kid grow up.  Eli is always looking for "the baby" and smothers him with the sloppiest kisses.  The other kids are always more than willing to hold him or feed him whenever they get the chance.  He is already so loved and he makes it pretty easy to do.  My life is rich!!

Now that the wedding festivities are done, I can't wait to come and see him.
Ruby's leg warmers are the best! She is a stylin gal.

Ty has changed so much already. Ruby sure rocks those leg warmers--they'd be great for photo shoots!

Did Charlie get his "surprise"?

I should be offended that you were in Utah for 2 weeks and you never called me! But, I am not. I know how hard it is to see family and friends and new baby. I will just have to come and see you. Glad to hear the baby is well and you are all adjusting. 5 kids, wow! You are my hero! :) Skype me so I can see the new little one!
