Update

Morgan is getting to be a big girl. This past week, she started to clap her hands intentionally and she does it when you say "clap" or "patty-cake." It is so much fun to interact with her.

She also has grown 4 teeth on the top now to match her 2 teeth on the bottom. Her smile is becoming more and more white. Time to run to Walmart and get a toothbrush for her, I suppose!

We are finally getting settled into our new place in Utah. However, there are some carpet odor problems that we are trying to get worked out. Smells like pet urine all over, which makes it impossible for us to let Morgan crawl around on the floor (YES, she is NOW CRAWLING). Hopefully that will get resolved in the immediate future and we can get all finished decorating.

The family just got back from 5 days in Bear Lake, Idaho, for Deanne's family reunion. There were over 30 people there in a 6 bedroom cabin. Deanne and the kids had a ton of fun, and it was fun to see how excited that Deanne's family was to finally meet the newest girl in the family with Morgan. A couple of her cousins just could not stop playing with her! She is a magnet to everyone!

Rick is starting his first three-month internship on Monday in the Salt Lake area. He is nervous and stressed out about it. We hope that the nervousness and stress will dissolve as soon as he gets a couple of days of the internship under his belt.
