Kaylee's New Favorite

Kaylee's newest favorite song has surfaced as a result of the Joseph Smith movie now showing at temple visitor's centers. Since our most recent visit to the DC temple Kaylee has been requesting the "Joseph song" (Praise to the Man) at bedtime. Here is her own rendition:

Correction



Question #3 on the recent family survey read as follows: "How many classical CDs do Russ and Anne own?" The question should have been worded thus: How many classical CDs does RUSS own?

Though marriage brings union in many ways, Anne doesn't claim ownership of the music.

And according to Russ' estimates the total CD count is somewhere around 350.

I am going east!

Hello family,

I realized over the weekend that some of you didn't know I was headed to Delaware and Miami this week. I guess that doesn't say much for how well I am communicating. I leave Thursday morning... yes, that would be Valentine's Day, which happened to have a $99 fare to Philly, so Dad and I are celebrating tonight with dinner and a visit to the temple. I will be with Russ, Anne, Kaylee, and Ashlyn until Wednesday, the 20th. I am looking forward to getting in lots of reading - you know, like Giants Come In Different Sizes or the equivalent to Kaylee's favorite stories. And I plan on doing a lot of exercising - like pushing Kaylee on the swing (there will be good weather, right?!) and all that kind of stuff. I will have to include some back exercises since that has become an issue again. I refuse to show my face in Miami with that challenge! When I was there last March is when my back was so bad that I was unable to leave the condo complex except to return to the airport. Aunt Janet will be joining us the following Tuesday. I leave to come home on March 4th and she will stay until the 6th. I hope to help Grandma & Grandpa get good at using email and going to this blog. Maybe I can even get them a webcam and teach them how to use Skype!

So wish me well! Happy Valentine's Day to all of you who I love so much!

In Abby's spirit of posting Christmas break stuff, we thought we would post a clip of Mom and Dad dancing with Kaylee.

Leo?

That's right, that would be a snake in my hands and around my neck. Thank you, Madre.

She sure does look good with that cap on!

Mom looks very happy when sleeping...

Wow! How big is that thing???

Our sweet awesome train!

Um...knowing the end of the story (that "she" really is a "he") this picture is just awkward. :)

Bob.

The night got late and Madre fell asleep. Good thing Bekah was there to keep her awake!

This is me sleeping...in my "bedroom".

Yay for Christmas!

Action shot

I don't know if y'all can see this, but this is when Jason crawled underneath the entire tree to grab some present.

Me and Ashlyn. Yay.

Haluh!

This is from a Sunday dinner a few weeks ago. Yay for family!

A Message From Bekah

Bekah is having a sleepover at Emily and Doug's house and she had this to say to the family:
