Family pics

We took family pictures during the break; Mason's were my favorite :) Looking back I really wish I would have been on top of pics from the beginning and gotten professional NB, and 3 mo. too. He is about 6 mo. in these. My sister Marissa did some in ID, and our friend Tracie did some in UT.

Our Big Trip

We just got back from a 4-week vacation to UT and ID during David's break from school. David also studied for and took the first part of the national boards exam and found out a few days ago that he passed! Hooray! Here's a few other highlights from our trip:

Making the long long trek from Omaha to Salt Lake:

Running the 10K during Pioneer Day in SLC with Brooke:Celebrating family birthdays; he was intrigued by these balloons for Grandma Yates' bday...

Going on boat rides

Car rides.Making delicious food from a yummy new Lion House cookbook I got

Playing on his tummy. He does a great roll to his back now. But he can't remember how to get from his back to his belly.

I wish we would have gotten a picture with Mason and Zuri, Michelle's kitty.

More Riding in the Car.


Good news: we went in for Mason's 6 month well-check visit with the doctor and new results are in. He gained 7 pounds in 2 months! Yay! He is now in the 46% for weight (17.3 pounds), 93% for height (28 inches), and 72% for head circumference (44 1/2 cm). The doctor actually asked the nurse to take a second reading on his head circumference because it jumped so much. You can imagine David and I are realllly really relieved and happy for him.
Thank you everyone for your prayers and concern . . . .

Back home again!
