Back in Business

Welcome back for another exciting NEWS FLASH! We found our camera just in time for Keenan's afternoon Graduation ceremony. I was so happy...it was like finding $300. So our blog's back in the works. Perhaps we'll manage to update again before Small Fry is born. Here's the little tyke now, pictured at nearly 28 weeks...

So most importantly, Keenan is now a GRADUATE! We are very excited about this, as it's the first time he's graduated from anything. :) And he did it with style...3.91 GPA in the end (with an almost perfect 4.0 for the entire duration of our marriage... can I take a little credit for that?). I am proud of my Aggie.

Second-most importantly, my BIRTHDAY was on Monday! :) Keenan is great at planning these sorts of things. He gave me a couple gifts in the morning then took me around doing all sorts of exciting things, like breakfasting at this incredible new discovery: The Original Pancake House in Sugar House. Best breakfast diner we've yet seen...
Me petting a stingray...so soft I could take it to bed with me.
Finishing off an Iceberg black raspberry shake we shared...
Curving a ball down the alley at 120 mph...
Sharing a free-meal root beer at Café Rio...
As my photo-loving Dad says, "Pretend like you're blowing them out!" Mom's carrot cake is THE best...
We also went to a fantastic Utah Chamber Artists concert in the evening, but sadly didn't get any pictures there. If you want to know more about UCA, click here. It was one of the best birthdays yet.

In more inspiring news, a little while ago we received a HUGE basket of baby boy clothes on our doorstep, the thoughtful mark of a kind RS sister in our ward (who I don't even know all that well). There were so many clothes I cannot possibly keep them all for fear of space issues...so AA Team, you can watch out for a bagful...
How's that for making up for more than a month's worth? Really, all is well. We are busy preparing for labor/birth/parenthood, as well as the big move to California. (We hope these two events don't correspond TOO closely.) We're also looking into investing in a piano, so Nonie won't be spending those early mothering days by her lonesome. More on that to come.

Until the next time...

MISSING!! (Our updating disclaimer)

I realize that we've not been superlative updaters. It's been weighing on my mind for some time. However, I can't bring myself to update for one important reason: we've lost our camera. It's been some time since we've seen it now, and I just can't bring myself to post without some pictures! I have a list of things in my mind about which we ought to be updating, but in my mind, there are pictures next to each one! We're about to pull out the old 38 mm! So thanks for your patience, and hopefully we'll get this worked out spit-spot. Meanwhile, know that all's well. Keenan's graduating and Nonie's getting bigger.
