Ending The Year With A BANG!!

Besides the normal excitement that comes towards the end of the year with Halloween, Thanksgiving with family, and all the Christmas holiday festivities, we also have several Birthdays to celebrate. And I guess that we felt the need for even a little more spice before the year-end, so we decided to include a pregnancy through the holidays, a birth, and another future birthday into the mix!

Meeting Baby Brother Luke! LOVE At First Sight!!

The beginning of December was also the right time for Kate to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints after her 8th Birthday in November. We are pleased with her preparation and decision to be baptized, following after our Savior. She BEAMED the entire day! Truly, she has a radiant smile and eyes that sparkle!!

We have had many things a-going with life, an ever-growing family, and the start of Pinnacle Preschool, but we are glad that you have not entirely given up on us as bloggers, despite our negligence to our blogspot.

We have just been busy trying to end this year with a BANG!!

December 30, 2009 Lucas (Luke) Johnston Laudie was born at 9:18 pm. He weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long. Both Mother and Luke are healthy and doing very well. They came home 20 hours after birth, so all could get better sleep than they were getting at the hospital.

Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We're happy to have Luke in our family.
