Maybe We'll See Some Moose

As many of you know I have been applying to Graduate School over the past few months. Well the verdict is in. Betsy and I will be moving in August to attend the University of Maine in Orono. We will be there for at least five years, and don't know where we will end up after that. We will certainly miss all our family and friends, but want you all to know that you will always have a place to come stay in Maine if you decide to visit.

Ensign Peak

We took Lizzy on her first hike. Up to Ensign Peak.

This is a "before" picture. Dallin and I both thought the hat made her look just like my mom.


Dallin and Lizzy on the ride up.


She wasn't too sure about the whole ordeal. But we'll make a hiker out of her eventually.


It really is a pretty cool view. We didn't stay long at the top because it was so windy.


This is Lizzy's windy face. This is why is was a quick stop at the top.

For Grandma Susan

Grandma Susan is in Vermont with her other grandchildren for a couple weeks. We didn't want her to go through Lizzy withdrawals, so Susan, here's a couple pictures to help you out.













Lizzy had her 2 month doctor's visit today. Everything is great!
She weighs 9 pounds 15.9 ounces exactly
and the doctor was very impressed with how well she's "talking."

Blessings, Smiles, Birds, and More.

So here's an update on what we have been doing:

We blessed Eliza on Sunday.

She was so good all day, until we tried to take pictures, of course.


A few weeks ago, we drove down to Delta with Ali and my parents to see the geese. It was amazing! This isn't a great picture of them, but all those white dots in the back ground are geese. (Check out Ali's blog for better pictures.)


This is first smile we were able to capture on film, and it's only her half smile.
You'll have to see her in real life to get the full effect.
She's really good at the open-mouth-toothless-grin.


Heidi and her 2, almost 3, kids came for a visit this week. Hannah wanted a turn holding Eliza, but wasn't quite sure how she felt about it when it actually happened.


This is one of Dallin's favorite pictures. I'll just leave it at that.
