Introduction

This is the most recent picture of our family. On the left is Aaron. He's got three semesters left until he has his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from BYU. Right now he's taking a break from school to do an internship with HP. When asked what he does at work his reply was, "You really don't want to know what I do." This is probably because the explanation is really long, uses a lot of big words and acronyms, and because only other engineering minded people would have the slightest clue what he was talking about.

In the middle is Lincoln. He's 7 months and three weeks old. He loves people, and being outside, and making a lot of noise during sacrament meeting. People in Texas are certain that he'll be the next Dallas Cowboy, probably a linebacker. He wears 12 month old clothes and size 4 diapers, at this rate he's likely to be a sumo wrestler. He rolls around all over the living room floor and somehow manages to spread all of his toys from one end of the house to the other. He definitely keeps his parents on their toes, but they love every minute of it (almost) because he makes them laugh with all of his craziness. He's a sweet little boy and a joy to have in the family.

On the right is Krystal. Right now she's a stay at home mom and loves it. She spends her extra time (what extra time?) reading and cooking. She recently joined a book club and enjoys the challenge of pulling thought provoking material out of what she reads so it can be discussed with others. She is an English major and plans to return to BYU and finish her degree when the family moves back to Provo in September.

That's our little family! We've really enjoyed being in Texas. Life is a little different when you pick up and move to a place where you have no relatives and you don't know anyone. It's definitely forced us to get outside of our circle and make things happen for our family, which we think has been a good skill to acquire. We definitely do miss our family and friends, especially when things like birthdays, Easter, etc. roll around. But we are choosing to see our time away as a positive learning experience that will bring our little family closer together.
