Hi Family!
highlights from the past couple of weeks.
Our visit to Utah! So fun. It was good to be back with the Quinns. We were able to meet neice and nephew Truman and Jean for the first time. Anthony comes from cute baby genes. Woohoo! It's probably related to having cute genes in general. Anyway, it's sweet to know that baby Quinn will be entering a family with uncles that will go on their treasure hunts, and Grandparents that will cuddle and play with him/her.
While we were there, Valine, Camille, and Tiff threw an awesome baby shower for us. Lots of Quiche and yummy food. Aunt Dorothy and Mary, Aunt Joanne, and cousin Laura (Wallace) were able to make it. I was really happy to see Uncle Don too, even though he hid out in the basement watching a grandson. I was also able to see an old room-mate and my mission trainer. Such great people in the world. And Generous! We got a ton of really cute, really useful things. I feel confident that our baby won't go cold or naked now. :)
Other UT highlights included
*the Turkey Trot: We walked a 5k, which felt really good. I'm so glad that my pregnancy is going well enough that I can do that.
* (Cousin) Jake Quinn's wedding: So sweet. They were both so much more composed that I was during our wedding. Temple weddings are the best! And they had excellent crepes at the reception. Mmm.
* Mckay performing in Savior of the World at the Conference Center. He's only 14 and probably one of the tallest in the whole cast. The performance was great!..and made me cry again this year.
* Food! Wow, those Quinns know how to cook. Anthony and I laughed about coming home to Pittsburgh to a scrambled egg dinner.
Anyway, I could go on and on. But I won't. The rest of life is good. Going back to work today wasn't nearly as crazy as it could have been. The main toddler teacher is off for the next two weeks to prepare for her wedding, then honey moon. So, we had 14 kids today including two toddlers. It went relatively smoothly. I was alone with them during nap time...which is a challenge. Getting 14 wiggly 2-5 year olds to sleep must be teaching me some sort of life skills, right? This week is outer space week! It'll be out of this world. :)
Anthony is presenting in class for one of his finals. After this week, he'll be pretty much done with school. Woohoo! He's pretty pumped.
I'll hit 34 weeks next Saturday, and am starting to feel pretty pregnant. For instance, swollen feet. When we went to Mckay's show, my shoes started to feel really tight. So of course I took them off for the show, but couldn't fit them on when the show was finished! Well, I guess I squeezed them on with overflowing pudge long enough to get out of the building. But as soon as we got out, I pried them off. Bodies are so amazing, and sometimes so weird.
Alright family, I love you all and thought all Thanksgiving about how grateful I am for you. Really, I don't think there is anything more important to me than the gospel, and the blessing of having family that lives it. Have a good beginning of December. Ah December. Bring it on!
Sharon
