Catching Up

So this is an update post because of many recent events. First our little boy was born August 25th. he was a big boy at 8 lbs, 14 ozs and a full head of hair. Then Derek's parents came up with grandpa Hawkley and we had a great visit. We got to see Seward, Alaska again and the ever-beautiful Alyeska resort. Derek decided he was not doing enough and got himself called as a counselor in the bishopric last month. As if he did not have enough to do already! He is loving it and seems to be fitting into this calling just like any other of his callings. The girls are in piano class and are loving it! Bella does not like practicing though and she will play her piano piece once and then stand up like she is done. You have to keep on her to keep practicing. Much to come soon as the girls are in dance and Halloween is this next week.
