Fun moments of the week

Linken laughed continuously this week for his first time. He has given a chuckle here or there but he was giving belly laughs one after the other. He also started to grab things with his hands this week. He does not have full control over them and grabs anything his hand touches. Last night after his bath his little hand wondered down to his little wee wee and of course, he squeezed. He let out the loudest yelp and then began to cry. I had to pry his hand open to get him to let go...haha poor little guy.

Adjusting to Oregon weather

Linken bundles up for our jogs outside in the cold Oregon weather. We can't find any gloves that are small enough for his little hands so we improvise with socks :)

Storytime

Linken and I have started going weekly to Baby Storytime at the local library. We sing songs, read stories and play with other children. Today Linken finally cracked a smile for the facilitator when she came over to him with a mouse hand puppet. We have a lot of fun!

BYU Hawaii Graduation

Troy and I graduated from Brigham Young University Hawaii on December 13, 2008 with a degree in International Business Management. We were privileged to have had our families join us for the special occasion. We are currently living in Oregon waiting for Troy to get accepted into graduate school for a Masters in Business Administration. We will miss all of our friends and cherish the time we have spent in Hawaii. Thank you all for your love and friendship. Please keep in contact with us!
