Charlie's Honesty


This morning I was getting the kids breakfast and Charlie looked at me and his eyes got very wide as he said, "Mom! Your getting BIG!! You're going to break open our house!!" Don't you love their honesty? Well, I've had some requests for "belly pics" but I don't know if I'll put them on the blog. :) Thank you for your encouragement Rachel and Melinda. Because of you I will at least take some pictures to have for later. :)

The Last Debate


So tonight's debate is happening just a few miles away from us. And if anything too exciting happens, Derek's hospital is going to be the one receiving anyone with injuries. They did a secret service sweep yesterday. BUT if it's like the last debate--that put me to sleep--we won't have any worries.

Derek's Osteopathy Blessings


I'm realizing how blessed I am that Derek does osteopathy. In my fun months of being pregnant, whenever I have back pain or leg pain or swelling feet I ask Derek for his help and he fixes it! Pretty amazing. I've been told I don't walk like a normal pregnant lady (all bent over and stuff) and I know that's because of Derek's treatments. This picture was from the reunion in Arizona where Derek's brothers were in line for a treatment. Because we flew in to AZ, Derek couldn't bring his table and so here's a make-shift table with couch cushions on a coffee table. Since we've been here, I tell people in the ward that Derek will work on them all of the time (it's the least we can do with all the help they have given us), but a lot of the time they don't want to impose. I just know how happy Derek is when he can help others out.
