A Part of Our Lives...

Well well well,

We are trying to update our blog, but alas, this update shall be with words only, until the computer allows me to add our dazzeling pictures....urgh...

Over the course of a few months, big changes have happened! Derek has moved back home, Jenni and Julie moved back to Tennessee, Dalton has graduated seminary, Daniel and Nicole have announced a baby on the way!, wedding receptions have come and gone, and the sun has tried to shine!

Sunday night, Dalton spoke at his Seminary Graduation about missionary preparation. Through laughter and tears, he taught with the spirit, and profoundly impressed us all to be a missionary now!

Austin keeps us laughing every hour (mostly at him, not with). Stake dances fill this boy with adrenaline all the time, and he eagerly awaits each one. Just recently he persuaded Hannah to attend her first dance, and he treated her like a queen as he escorted her to the door :)

Derek has upgraded his status in life. He now claims a girlfriend, and we all adore her. Life has been sooo much fun having his personality to add to every-day-living!

Destinee diligently plans new and exciting activities for the Young Single Adults. But is certainly enjoying this stage of life, and finds new, pleasant adventures around every corner.

Hannah is next to a professional ballerina! Seeing her perform in the ballet Swan Lake impressed each of us at how talented this girl is! It has only been a few months since beginning ballet, but she glides and spins as though she has been doing it for years!

Dare and Dee are as lovey-dovey as ever! Smooching in front of the children keeps the fire alive;) Both love to be together, and hate when time separates them :)

Hello, Allen's! You are better than I at updating my blog. I'm so happy that everyone in your family seems to be doing so wonderful. It's so awesome and great to hear what everyone is doing and where they are in their lives. I love that all these little babies are coming down from Heaven, into their Family! I love each of you so much. You are all wonderful examples! Thank you...

It truly IS a wonderful up-date, and I LOVED hearing how you're all doing and what you're all UP TO! It's cute how you said everyone has fun laughing AT (not necessarily WITH) Austin. He's such a crack-up! Dalton, too, is fun to be around. I would love to have been able to be to the Seminary Graduation and hear him speak. Thanks for Up-dating the Family stuff. Love, Destinee's Aunt Karen
