Fun with Cousins

We visited Mel & Ry's a little while back and the kids had a blast together. I took some pictures of the little cutie pies having fun.

Attack of the GIANT baby!!!

For those of you who know our niece Cada, tiny is an understatement. She's always been a petite little girl, but nothing illustrates it quite like this picture. Lincoln & I went to stay with Mel & Ry after the baby was born and Cada couldn't just get enough of her cousin. She loves to hold him, but judging from this photo pretty soon he'll be holding her .

The Hair Wars

Hello all! August has been a surprisingly busy month for us. The big news is that my sister
Melanie had her baby on the 11th. She endured 36 hours of labor (as did those of us lucky enough to be there with her) before the grand arrival of a nearly 9 lb. baby! Trace is adorable, of course. He has long fingers, long feet, and a whole head of black hair. I'd have to say that he has way more hair than Lincoln & Grandpa T. combined.

Poor Lincoln! He takes after the wrong parent... his momma was practically bald until age 2. Anyway, the whole new family is doing fine (not counting the sleep deprivation of course) and Cada seems to be the ideal big sister.

Nate finished his summer school classes and is currently enjoying a short lived break before the fall semester starts. I just got called to the Young Women's organization, so Lincoln is enjoying his Sunday status as a ladies man. Honestly, he disappears during that whole hour as he's passed from girl to girl. I was really excited about the calling, though with Nate in the Elder's Quorum Presidency some Sunday's will require a bit of juggling.

In addition to Mom & Dad Douglas moving here in May, we are thrilled to announce that Spencer & Liz just moved in last weekend. We are excited to have them here for however long we get to keep them. It will be just like the good ole' days in Northfield...
