Holidays part 1

Here are some pictures of what is happening in our life this time of the year:

We went to Star valley for Thanksgiving! It was beautiful and fantastic to be with our family there. We feasted on delicious food, played games, watched the 6 yorkies play with each other, and rested from work. So great!

20 Weeks


17 Weeks


Ultrasound of the baby at 22 weeks. It's a boy! I know we would have been excited if it was a girl, but we are super excited that it is a boy. It's just cool knowing, being able to cut our list of names in half, choose colors for things, call him "him" instead of "it" and think of his future more specifically.


Savior of the World Play stage that we were part of in the beginning of this month. Being in the play was a cool way to make friends in our stake, learn more about the Christmas story and Jewish customs of the times (such as, swaddling bands weren't crude strips of cloth but pretty bands that the bride embroidered during the year-or-so long betrothal, that were wrapped around the bride and groom's hands at the wedding and then used to wrap their newborn children). We enjoyed looking down as "angels" from the choir stand on the events.

I (Aaron) am done now with finals, and can relax and figure out what to do next while Corinne finishes up teaching before the holidays.

We moved to Spanish Fork, on short notice--we just realized that it would be a lot easier to commute for next semester if we are there, and we can escape the plumbing problems in our old apartment. I think management will be a lot better in our new one.

We will be going to Oregon for Christmas next week. We are looking forward to it. Happy holidays everyone!
