Jack showing off his teeth and cute shirt!
The rest of the alphabet is listed under AB CD.

Here are two pictures just taken yesterday. Ang, Tommy and Jack live in Phoenix... AND WE MISS THEM!!!
Tommy was in law school in San Francisco before they moved to AZ
so they haven't lived close since they married;
we've missed them a long time!!

Tender Story

Tim and I went for an evening walk tonight and saw Paul and Jenny, friends from our last ward. Tim had seen an "It's a Boy" sign on their front window tonight and told me--I didn't remember Jenny being pregnant...but we don't see them often so....to make a long story short, their fourth child, a little boy named Matthew, was just adopted from China. It is HIGHLY unusual to be able to adopt a boy, but they have him and according the the Chinese and American governments...he's officially theirs! We're so excited for them! Hearing them tell their story of being back in the hotel room and trying to put Matthew to sleep and he refused to be held and would crawl away and fall asleep in a corner reminded me of when Amy and Angela e-mailed from Romania (they volunteered in orphanages) and told how the children didn't like to be touched. Paul and Jenny worked with him because they know babies need to be held and he finally will let them hold him and will fall asleep in their arms. Hug those you love...we all need hugs!

I just want to say that I have a terriffic son-in-law and daughter-in-law. They have blessed the lives of our family and especially their spouse (which, of course, is my child) very much. They are dearly loved and we are grateful they (and Jack)
are a part of our eternal family.

Thank you Tommy and Tasha! I love you both very much.
