Facebook and new email

We have had so much going on this past few months I don't know where to start. If you want to keep up with us on a more frequent basis we are both now on Facebook. We will still post longer blogs here as well on a less frequent basis (once per month). Please bare with us as we struggle to keep up with all of this new social networking technology. Socializing is not one of our strengths (especially from long distance) but we hope with our interest in techno-gadgets we can get better at it. However, please always feel free to shoot us an email or give us a call if we are falling behind. We'd love to hear from you. Incidentally, in May I will have been home from my mission for 10 years. I don't remember having problems keeping up with people through regular old snail mail from thousands of miles away in Bolivia. It is odd how much more complicated life seems now even though as a missionary we worked almost every waking hour 7 days a week. I don't think I could do it now without my 3G network!

We have switched our internet provider so our email has changed.

First Signs of Smiles

After a long nap Mya is ready to stretch out and play. It's nice to see a smile every once and awhile to know you or something is making baby happy. I am looking forward to some more interaction. If babies come with the ability to tell you when they are ticked off they should come with the ability to tell you finally did something right. I guess silence and and a sleeping baby count for a lot though. Kudos to Tina for figuring out her different cries. She is teaching me a lot. 

Family and Friends

We have enjoyed lots of visitors coming to love on Mya and us over the past month. I tried to get photos of everyone but missed out on some. Thanks everyone for your love and support!  

Bringing Home Baby

I was a little overwhelmed by all of the photos we have taken over the last month. I decided to finally download the pictures and start sorting through them. Below is the first installment.

Mya is doing really well.  She weighed 9lbs 1oz at her last check-up and she is eating like a champ. Tina is recovering well from the c-section and is taking the brunt of the no sleep schedule so I can function at work. Mya seems to be bigger every day when I get home. She is much more alert now and can follow me with her eyes. She's loves looking at the Whoozit toy Roy and Janet sent us. Although it used to freak me out when she would go cross-eyed. She's has much better control now. She likes to kick her feet and pick her head up to look around the room. She is really cute when she stretches her hands way above her head after a long nap. We enjoyed watching the Jazz beat the Celtics last night and have enjoyed snuggling during several KU games. 9-12 is my shift at night so we get to watch (sometimes we don't get to listen) lots Jay Leno and Conan O'brien.
