2009 and Looking Back!

Wow, what an eventful year for our family! We find ourselves in Idaho now, missing Friends and Family in Louisiana, there were many friendships and memories made there that we dearly miss. Landan still misses his Papa Ralph and Mama Sharon.

(Enjoying the swings with Papa Ralph)

We will always remember the interesting characters we were introduced to in the south:

(Captain Jack Sparrow with Afton and Jenny Ludlow)

The latest update for our family consists of both of our boys, Landan and Collan, being healthy and happy. at our last Doctors appointment, we found that Landan is up to 19.5 lbs. and Collan (at 5 weeks old) is a whopping 10.5 lbs. It would appear that the day is fats approaching that Landan will be the older but smaller brother. He doesn't let his size stop him from doing whatever he wants to do, from playing in the snow with his cousins:

and even helping Mom do the laundry:

Collan (the big little brother) is still doing what he can to keep Mommy and Daddy awake at night, you would think that with as big as he is he would last a little longer than four hours without eating, but try and tell him that!

We still love him though!

He has brought a lot of joy into our home, and it has been great to share that with Grandmas and Grandpas! (I think that they are all more excited than they let on that we are so close.)

We blessed Collan yesterday in our new ward, only two minutes after our names were read in as new ward members, so I'm sure that there are still people who are confused at who the kid was and why they had never met him before. But even though he was in a new building, that didn't stop him from being so cute;

We hope the best for all of you and your families, we miss you all and hope to see you one day (if you ever find yourselves in Idaho that is). Best wishes from Idaho!
