Senior Retreat






Well, here are some shots of Phantom Ranch - Haley was of course super happy to be out in the less than 20 degree weather. The funny thing was, Matt said she was going crazy to get out on the ice to play broom ball with all the "big kids" - broom ball happens to be a very violent game - a broken collarbone and a black eye were two of the injuries this year, so I am glad she didn't get too close. The snow was really pretty, and our cabin was warm and decent except for the dirty carpet (kind of a pain when Ana wanted to crawl everywhere). All in all it was a really nice time of hanging out with friends - our roomies were excellent, and the girls all slept fine. Someone else doing all the cooking & dishes was nice too. Matt got to give his senior testimony and did a really great job talking about what God has taught him while here at NTBI.

  3. Look at all that snow! It's beautiful! I miss the snow sometimes, and it's so neat that the girls get to see it for a little while. Jacob was just saying he wishes it would snow here.

  4. I'm so glad you guys had a good experience at senior retreat! I was just telling Todd tonight that I have ZERO desire to live up north again! I'm glad there were other couples with small kids this year for the retreat. I think that would have made a difference last year for us.

Name Ideas Please

Exercising with Dad and enjoying her mini slinky. Ok, some of you had some, uh, interesting name choices for our new little one. We will have an ultrasound before Christmas, so then we can start narrowing it down, but does anyone have some REAL ideas? We like short uncomplicated names with meaning. We don't like names that remind us of lousy people or strange celebrities, and none of those weird new names that people our age are naming their kids, like "Christman" or something. (That is a real name - I know a little girl AND a little boy named that. It is pronounced like Christmas, only not.) So yeah, give us some ideas. Does anyone like "Paul"? Is that too old sounding? What about Ana for a girl? Hmmm...

GRAND PRIZE

Ok, we decided - if we pick the name you suggested, you will receive... 1) an autographed portrait of Haley (we realize that isn't very relevant, but we have some extras - ha ha!) 2) the honor of setting up a trust fund for the new baby, minimum starting amount $500 3) a call on the first day the new baby says his/her name 4) a shout out on the BLOG!!! YESSSSS!!! We are of course extremely generous - please don't be astounded by the magnitude of these prizes. Good luck everyone!!

Baby Names

Just in case it is a girl, which we are actually pretty sure it will be, here are some options we are thinking about - let us know what you think. These are our top five. 1) Maude 2) Hortense 3) Magda 4) Dorcas 5) Zipporah
