Photo Update

To Jared and I it doesn't seem like Gavin has changed all that much, but when I compare what he used to look like to how big he is now, I can see the difference.

In the past seven weeks here's some more of what we've been up to:

Visits from family, both in person and via webcam

Gavin's first carnival - Our Stake does an annual carnival, with music, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs and hamburgers, and games for the kids.

Since my parents live in Saudi Arabia, they don't get the opportunity to go to the temple very often. It was great to be able to go to the Provo temple while they were here visiting! My parents brought family names, and we did sealings. It was wonderful to be able to go and do that together. I love going to the temple and am blessed to live close to so many. It's easy to get distracted with other things going on, but once I'm there I never regret it. I want to become more dedicated and try to go to the temple more often.

Gavin was blessed on Father's Day, while both mine and Jared's parents were in town, and Jayden was there as well. It was a special day, Jared gave a beautiful blessing, and it was great to see so many friends! It was fun to celebrate Jared's first Father's Day with some gifts as well!

Lots of walks! The grocery store is just a few blocks away, plus there's a park right by our place.

Gavin has started smiling, and is just so cute!
