Playing Catch Up

Our apologies for not having posted in so long. I didn't realize how long it had been until I looked at the date of our last post...Packing and cleaning have been taking up much of our time as of late. Between that and taking care of Tyler, I feel like the days start and end all too quickly. So, here are a few highlights from the past few weeks:

We had a wonderful Easter weekend spent with both sides of the family. Gordon enjoyed another exciting game of woofle (sp?) ball with his brothers and nieces/nephews and thankfully everyone escaped without injury this time.

We spent Conference weekend up in Island Park, Idaho with Gordon's cousin and his wife. We stayed in a beautiful snow-covered cabin all weekend and enjoyed lots of relaxation, spiritual enlightenment and good eats. We played games, watched movies and laughed with friends. What could be better? Thanks again for a great weekend Kevin and Natalie!!

Because some of us are headed out for yet another summer of summers sales, the Manning clan got together for a little fun of our own. Dubbed "Ping-Pong-A-Rama", we all met at Noah's for some good ol' fashioned competition. Although we didn't get to finish our tournament (of which I was in dead last after losing two straight in double elimination) we did have a blast! I'm sure Gordon will be up for challenging all of you again when we get back from TX!

And, as always, I had to include a couple of pics of our little peanut. He just had his six-month check up and is currently healthy and happy. Weighing in at 19 1/2 lbs. I definitely get my work out carrying him around all day. He has started eating solids (pics/video to come later) which has been so fun to see. He seems to be changing by the minute. Watching his facial expressions change and develop has become one of the highlights of my day. He has become a master of what we now call the "fishy face". It's truly amazing to watch him discover the world around him.



Well, that's all for now. And, though I've said this before and failed, I will try to be a more regular contributor to this blog we have. In just a few short weeks, we should be posting from TX!!
