First of many

Good Sunday evening to everyone! We just returned from my parent's home. We enjoyed sweet and savory crepes, AKA Swedish Pancakes tonight with the McClure clan. My dad's mom used to make them every now and then and he is continuing on with the tradition. Yummy.

Today we had our first 2:00 church. It wasn't too bad. Sage and Skyler slept through Sacrament Meeting until we were 1/2 way through Sunday School. Sage is just a darling at church. She smiles at everyone and brightens the lives of many many people. Skyler is still in nursery and Sundance is now a CTR 6, complete with a CTR ring. His friend, Kyson, is in his class now and so he is really excited.

Yesterday we welcomed our third daughter into our family. She is black, brown and white, medium build and a cheerful disposition. Her name is debateable. She came with the name Bear, but, the kids want to call her Zip. So we will see what she decides to respond to and we will go with that name. Oh, yes, we adopted a dog. I always said my fourth child would be a dog...I just didn't realize she would come so soon. She is a good girl though - housebroken, loves children and babies (and not their diapers, yet) and is very, very smart. She is an Australian Shepherd mix and Lori says she looks very much like Duchess for all the Palmers who knew and loved Duchess.

I am keeping busy with kids and exercise and running a house and now adding a dog. I am enjoying the benefits of exercise and being able to train with a good friend, Merrilee, from church. Toby is doing well at his job and is looking for the perfect winter time activity to do in his limited spare time.

Sage is working on tooth number 5. I can't believe how many teeth this child has! Tonight she was preparing to pull herself up on the table at my parents house. She is growing up so fast. Such a darling.

Well, that's about it for now. Have a great week and look forward to pictures from the Palmers.
