Introducing Baby Grant

Baby Grant joined the family on Friday the 13th of May, 2011. He came at 5:44am and weighed in at a hefty 8lbs 5oz and 21.5 inches long. He is a champion eater, and sleeper, and has wrapped us around his tiny fingers.

When Grandma Anderson came, we started sitting on the potty a lot. Scottie has had 3 or 4 successes with number 2 so far. He still doesn't love to go there but with his books, or tray of crayons and cars, it is bearable.

Thanks Grandma for coming. We had lots of fun with you. We loved your yummy bread and tea, and your good company.  We miss you already.

Sweet Baby James

8#0oz.

21" long

So far so good... We like him.  He is a pretty good sleeper and is learning how to eat.  I think we will keep him.  :)

Scottie checking out his new brother.  He wasn't so sure at first but now he is giving him all sorts of kisses, sharing his cars, and has taken turns holding him too.

Made In China

Most observant folks have noticed that nearly everything that you can buy at the store these days carries the label "Made in China."  Shoes, clothes, electronics, you name it.  Now add another to your list:  our next little tyke will carry the label for life "Made in China."  That's right, we are expecting another little munchkin the beginning of March so I am about three months along and it appears to be the real thing.  

The best part of the story is the Chinese pregnancy test that I took.  I bought a test at a little convenience store near campus.  The test had all sorts of English writing on the box so I assumed that I would be able to read the directions, ... wrong.  The unfortunate part of it all too was that there were no pluses or minuses on the test so once I took it, I was unsure of whether or not I was really pregnant.  After much consulting of babelfish with Hyrum and our vast knowledge of Chinese characters (ha ha), we dared each other to go ask the concierge at our guest house.  She was amused once she realized what she was looking at but...  Hooray! We are expecting again!  Wish me luck!
