I never thought having a girl would be so different from having boys, but it is. I'm constantly surprised when I discover more feminine features in Norah. She is beautiful and dainty and delicate, and so sweet. Her brothers adore her too, and she has Jon completely wrapped around her tiny finger. We love our little Norah, and cannot believe how fast time has flown since her birth. She is growing too fast already- getting more adorable and interacting and smiling too, which softens the blow of her newborn days passing too quickly.Jon and Meghan + boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569335642849576611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700309720013460851.post-12709458071119262912015-03-26T23:25:00.001-07:002015-03-27T01:17:22.407-07:00Penn-boy no longer a babyOn the night before my baby turns 2, I want to record some things I never want to forget about him:<br />

*his obsession with gloves. and not just having his gloves on his hands, but talking about any gloves he sees on other people, lying around, or in pictures.<br />
*his sense of humor and how he can't seem to get in trouble or be disciplined because when he knows he has misbehaved he either turns up the charm or the comedy<br />
*his sweet little raspy voice that mostly talks about "aaaachs" (cars), "ooowas" (planes), and "biiiiiih" (dirt bikes), and "wads" (quads- said really quickly and breathy)<br />
*how he is truly his own little person, attaching himself to dirt bikes more than any other vehicles, which is remarkable considering his influences<br />
*his empathy for others<br />
*how much he loves saying "hi" to his baby sister and giving my belly loves<br />
*his love for the moon<br />
*how he asks to go in the car on a regular basis now, and has a hard time being patient about it<br />
*his initiative. this kid will turn desire into results and he's usually successful. when it doesn't work, he has a hard time asking for help, I think because he's more frustrated with his own limitations than anything<br />
*his love for music and especially his shoulder groove dance<br />
*how I always find him with either a dirt bike and a quad, a dirt bike and a bmw, two quads, a dirt bike and a plane, a dirt bike and a motorcycle...<br />
*his love for his Seahawks shirt, and Emory's Seahawks shirt too<br />
*how if he can't find gloves, he'll always find socks to improvise and go use the rocking orca as a motorcycle or quad<br />
*how if we read his "First Words" book he points to the picture of the dandelion and explains to me in his language that he sees those over by the cars Jon works with<br />
*how he calls me "Ma," Jon "Deesce," and Emory "Ory"<br />
*his obsession with the "ooooooh" story in the Book of Mormon (the story of Nephi's family sailing to the promised land in a boat<br />
*his blankie.<br />
his love for looking at pictures and videos of our family on our phones<br />
*how he loves to tickle himself and be tickled<br />
*his ability to really rouse his brother while playing and roughhousing<br />
*how if I encourage him to say something "with his mouth" instead of using signs, he will point to his mouth<br />
*the way he says amen "ai-nah"<br />
*how he wants me to kiss his hurts better, even if they're not that bad<br />
*his love for dirt<br />
*his love for books<br />
*how he points to something and grunts a certain way when he wants to know the color<br />
*how tonight as I sang to him, he grabbed both of my cheeks in his hands and pulled our faces together<br />

My Emory Shawn turns 5 tomorrow (technically today, since it's so late). This is the last picture of him as a 4-year-old. He put on his new pj shirt and happily tried on all his new school pants to make sure they fit- kindergarten! How did we get here?!? Tonight I read him the long version of one of his favorite books, <i>Emergency</i>, sang him "a really long song" (<i>Souviens-toi</i>), and scratched and then rubbed his back by request until he got super sleepy and turned towards me and said, "I'm ready for you to leave now." I have to say, I feel like these special moments with Emory don't come often enough, so I soak them up when they do come. As I laid in bed with him tonight, I thought of some of the most memorable things about E at 4 years old. This has been a huge growing year for us as parents of this kid, and a huge growing year for him as well- he's blossoming into someone who, although still shy, can speak his mind and opinions easily when asked, is quite decisive, and is so well-behaved with an obedient spirit (with some spunk and fight against his mama at times too).<br />

Our boys are shooting personality and cuteness out their ears lately. Seriously, I'm gaining a greater appreciation for motherhood lately, courtesy of these two characters, and I'm loving it. Summer is good to us: lazy pajama mornings, pool time on the deck, rides on the quad, fruit galore, eating on the deck, and bedtimes that are too late. </div>

Emory is registered for kindergarten-gah! so I'm trying to soak up the last bit of his pre-school years innocence this summer. He LOVES to tell stories, whether his audience is listening or not, and the stories usually involve him working with his friends Bocci and Zig to pick up this or that exotic or special interest car for this or that person for this or that amount. Basically, he's a mini-Jon. Being the first child has certainly influenced the tiny adult in our Emory- he's always joining in on adult conversations and adding unsolicited input. The other night (mid-story while I wasn't paying close attention) he said to me, "Mama, I just love talking." I know you do buddy, I know. He's also extremely willing to help feeding Baylor, cooking in the kitchen, and playing with Penn (most of the time). E is learning to ride his bike and holding out for a quad- he has informed me that he wants a quad cake for his birthday this year and that he doesn't want grown-ups at his party. He still wakes up from most naps (when he takes them) grumpy, but sleeps like a champ and has taken to waking Amber in the morning with loud keyboard playing instead of waking us with loud roughhousing in our bedroom. (Thanks for taking one for the team, Ber). He adores Baylor, and bosses him around, but insists that the dog "loves [him] best." I'm glad I have another year of him only in school a couple days a week... my days are far less entertaining without Emory around. </div>

Penn-baby is so not such a baby anymore! This fact would depress me more, but he's so much fun that I can't dwell on his growing up fast lately. Penn is busy all day long. He plays hard and sleeps hard, and is observing and learning more every day. For a couple months after his birthday, Penn worked hard on perfecting walking unassisted and finally started walking as his main and only mode of transportation about 3 weeks ago. Now that his large motor skills are much more refined, his focus has turned to communication for the past couple weeks- I think we're moving past the nasal grunt/point he's been so fond of lately. It is so rewarding to see him sign "please" without being told, and to see the wheels turn in his head when he picks out the same favorite book at least 5 times a day (thankfully the favorite has rotated over the past few weeks from "5 Little Ladybugs" to "Happy Baby Animals" and "Happy Baby 123" to "Doggy Kisses"). He blows on his food and says "ah-ah" when it's hot, says "ball," "dah" (dog), and has a special squeak noise reserved for the cat. He also recognizes eyes, ears, noses, mouths and teeth. He loved fireworks on the 4th of July, and we haven't really discovered any fears other than our Roomba. Just this week Penn started insisting on us holding him with ALL his blankets and bunny during our lullaby time before bed. Quite possibly the cutest thing to date is his new fascination with bringing us various articles of clothing from around the house to put on his tiny body- he began yesterday with my yoga tank, Emory's long-sleeved shirt , and Jon's t-shirt over his pajamas, simultaneously. Penn is incredibly assertive at home with family, but calm around others, for the most part. He reserves his most wild moments to share with his brother, and it's endearing to see them play well together, and fight like brothers sometimes. When he wakes up too early, Jon and I Penn-proof our bedroom and he wanders, playing with both of our phones, always finding the French music to play on my phone, and climbing on all the furniture until we finally drag ourselves out of bed for breakfast (our bedroom is most often a disaster from this or that stray kleenex or magazine he has found). It seems being a motor head is a requirement in our family, and P-diddy obsesses over driving all the cars around and going for rides on the quad as much as Emory. He has also patented his own car sound to use for playing with toy cars. It's adorable, of course, though loud in church. Now if we could just get his molars to come in faster- he finally has almost 2 of them, after working on 3 for at least 2 months. Perhaps our favorite thing about Penn, is that he likes to tickle his own belly, and will do so on command- adorable.</div>

As crazy busy as our lives are right now with Jon in his last year of grad school, applying for jobs, running the dealership, and our responsibilities at church, our boys are so flexible and resilient. I adore them, and I wouldn't trade our day-to-day with another imagined life.<br />

The morning of our anniversary, we left our boys with their aunt Kendal and headed north in the white Mercedes SL (the hydraulics for the convertible top were out of order for the entire gorgeous weekend, but not for lack of trying to make it work anyway) for Vancouver, Canada. We first stopped at one of our favorite eateries we've discovered: <a href="http://tweetscafe.com/">Tweets</a> in Edison. Every time we go, we're amazed by how good the food is. Seriously. Everyone in the tiny town seems to contribute to the day's menu by dropping off fresh produce and eggs, and in return, the owners hand them plates of the most deliciously prepared food. If you go, know they only take cash or check. So worth it.<br />
<br />
We crossed the border and went into the city, and after a failed attempt at finding our hotel, we successfully found a gelato spot we discovered during our first year of dating 9 years ago. The story is that Jon and I took a day trip to Vancouver that spring in 2005, shopped for a while, and then had the romantic experience of finding a quaint little gelato shop, complete with an older roman woman and two Italian gentlemen, thrilled to have the young in love in for a treat. We sat down and enjoyed our gelato and as we listened to the other shop patrons speak in Italian, cherry blossoms blew through the open doorway, littering the floor with pink petals. This memory has remained one of our favorites throughout the years. We found the shop flawlessly, without a map, on a whim--one of the best gifts Jon could have given me, since we got to relive a little piece of our early time falling in love. Though the place is now owned by a Vietnamese woman and sells subs along with gelato, it was the same, and finding it this time of year again could not have been more ideal. After gelato, we walked across the street to Kitsilano Beach park to enjoy the gorgeous sunshine and reenact a couple photos we took all those years ago.<br />
<br />
We stayed at the Pan Pacific with the most gorgeous panoramic views from the 16th floor, and we truly enjoyed just relaxing together, driving through Stanley Park, eating the most delicious meal of our lives at <a href="http://www.vijsrestaurant.ca/index_in.htm">Vij's</a> (wine-marinated lamb popsicles over spinach and potatoes and saag paneer so good that I will go back and gladly wait without reservations again and again--the restaurant is rated the best Indian food in North America by the New York Times and the rating is well-deserved, and as a plus, the service was so beautifully orchestrated in a professional but relaxed environment), and of course, sleeping in without children waking us. We left the hotel and got the gelato at <a href="http://www.bellagelateria.com/">Bella Gelateria</a>, the best we've ever had, and slowly made our way home to our boys.<br />

Scenes from the post-brunch present opening and cake smashing: family came to town... Great-great Grandma (as Emory calls her), Aunt Kelli, Uncle Doug, and Jocelyn, Jessalin, Nana, Nunu, Grandma, Grandpa, and Amber. I remembered at Emory's first birthday party that the poor guy got super tired and was frustrated that he had to open another present after wanting to play with the one in his hands, so we planned Penn's party a little better for his schedule and succeeded in keeping a happy baby (sorry for being our guinea pig, E). I was thrilled to have Aunt Kelli here to make the cake pretty. I made Penn's little moon cake--we always sing him the moon song before bed, and I had about that much usable cake left after another project so it just came to be. I may not make things as beautiful as possible, but I do make them good-tasting. Somehow we missed out on better photos of the actual smash, but Penn got into the cake and enjoyed it. </div>

Consider this a humongous lot of photos from Penn's first birthday. We documented the occasion well, starting with breakfast of chocolate chip pancakes (Emory's favorite breakfast too), and playing with the dog crate. The afternoon allowed the baby his first real taste of frosting, and Nicki, our friend brought a bouquet of balloons and the most adorable bear-shaped homemade bread, complete with chocolate chip eyes, a belly button, and a chocolate covered blueberry nose. We spent the evening after dinner playing in the yard, and Penn loved roaming in the grass, eating dirt, and being genuinely adorable. Throw in an energetic dog and an over-tired Emory (who became happy just before going inside for the night), and it remains one of the best days I can remember as our family of four.<br />

Just a little while ago, Penn very deliberately pointed, all 5 fingers of his hand splayed enthusiastically, to our engagement photo that sits on top of the piano. I obliged and gave him the picture frame, and he sat and loved on it for about 5 minutes before moving onto the next item on his agenda. I love this stage of my baby learning how to communicate his wants and feeling so triumphant when we understand. It's so rewarding (on his end too, I'm sure), to see him so happy because of something he's figured out intellectually. I get so sad that Penn is not a tiny baby anymore, but so thrilled that in this stage, he is growing in ways that show his true personality- affectionate, daring (with a tiny bit of caution), motivated, mischievous, loving, funny, and smart.<br />

The juxtaposition of these few pictures is funny and endearing to me for a few reasons: the lighting on February 23 around the same time in the evening versus the lighting on March 23, the excited Baylor-dog who gets in the way of pictures, how much older Emory looks now compared to a month ago, the missing rug-gone to the wash both months at the same time, and boys who love their father and his attention more than anything.<br />

I took these photos the other morning, documenting our daily morning routine that we've had for a while now. The morning I took them, I didn't even realize that the final product would show the events of our day-to-day so well, but it turns out we have it all in sequence. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Jon and Emory leave for preschool and while I do the dishes, Penn terrorizes the office, playing with the guitar, reorganizing the visiting teaching white board I have going (it won't be to fun to re-do all the routes that took hours to organize already- hours that are hard to come by during my time as a busy mama and relief society president, I might add), pulling books off the shelves, and getting into dog toys and whatnot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After all that, we go upstairs and clean Penn's face (and hair) and change his diaper, so he can be fresh and clean for his nap. But first, we read. Getting dressed happens in stages between books and in quick moments as P-diddy moves around the room. I love how much my baby loves books, because I loved boos as a baby too. He will almost always choose a book over a toy, and reading is the one activity that will keep his attention well enough to keep him still and content, sitting in my lap. His current favorites are <i>Baby Says Peekaboo, Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb,</i> and <i>Baby Einstein First Words</i>, particularly the page about the underwater animals. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I swaddle Penn and breastfeed him, and he falls asleep in my arms. I always get a little sad to leave him in his crib because I know with each nap he takes, he gets a little older, leaving behind more of the baby he is now, Though this boy has never been a stellar napper, he's sleeping pretty well these days and I never regret all those newborn months of holding him for naps. </div>

I can't believe my baby is not even 9.5 months old and we had to give him his first haircut, but he looks so handsome and adorable. Hopefully he'll stay a little cleaner and less greasy this way too. (Translation: hopefully not as much food will end up in his hair but who am I kidding, really?).</div>

As we count down to the new year, I've been nostalgic because 2013 has seriously been an awesome year for our family... 2014 has a high standard to maintain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
*business/family trip to Utah in January- we visited so many friends we hadn't seen in 2 years, and stayed with my grandma for a couple days on the way home<br />
*overnight getaway to Leavenworth for Jon and I in February- we were desperately ill so we mostly remember sleeping-ha!<br />
*Penn-boy was born the end of March<br />
*"great great grandma" came to visit when Penn was 5 days old in April and stayed a week- we mostly relaxed and loved on newborn Penn, watching general conference<br />
*Jon attended his seminar at Gonzaga in the end of May and came to appreciate his master's program even more, while the boys and I stayed with my grandma<br />
*we blessed Penn Albin in church in June- on Father's day, no less<br />
*huge business/family trip to southern California in July- we brought Amber along to help with the boys, and enjoyed beach days in San Diego, visiting family, the San Diego zoo, Disneyland, visiting Nana's grave in Newport Beach, and seeing family in northern California on the way home<br />
*Emory turned 4 in August and we celebrated with a Porsche party<br />
*September brought us back to routine with E starting preschool, and us attending MOPS weekly<br />
*I turned 30 in October, and Penn started crawling (the picture of our family above is from my birthday dinner at Anthony's<br />
*November was the best month yet for Grand Prix Motors, and Jon exceeded goals he set for the business for a month in the year<br />
*we celebrated our first Christmas as a family of 4 in December, Penn in hog heaven with all the paper, and thankfully mostly healthy after Jon's nasty bout with HFMD earlier in the month<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
HAPPY NEW YEAR!</div>

Go figure I would finally get around to posting these photos, just almost a week after Penn actually turned 9 months old. I still feel like I'm in October- I can't possibly comprehend that Christmas has already come and gone.</div>

This baby is so much fun, and in the past month and a half is even more so. He started army crawling a week before Halloween, and he's so fast that even though he sometimes crawls on his knees, most of the time he chooses to flop back to his belly and propel himself forward with extreme upper body strength. The move is adorable because Penn alternates arms so when he comes towards you, he looks like he's rowing a boat. One of his nicknames is "rowboat," fittingly. His favorite things are eating paper, reading books, and playing in Emory's room, including climbing all over his brother. In the past week or so, Penn has also become somewhat of a motor head- big surprise! He has two teeth and is cutting a couple more, and doesn't sleep through the night any more, but after his well child check, we may suffer through a few mights of uncomfortable noise to try to get him to do so again. Speaking of, he's 20 pounds and 28 inches, exactly 50th percentile. It's so hard to believe how much someone so tiny can eat, but I swear we can't keep him full. I love that I hear constant babble from Penn's cute little voice, that he understands a few signs now, and that he'll entertain himself for a long time, just crawling to explore, then sitting to play awhile. I remember 9 months was one of my very favorite ages with Emory too, so I'll try to relish it even more. </div>

I'm not sure how I never posted these photos months and months ago, when they were actually relevant, but I just found them saved in a draft and since last night was the preschool's Christmas program, I guess they're somewhat relevant.<br />
<br />
It's awesome having a preschooler! I think Emory and I both felt pretty nervous in the weeks leading up to the beginning of this new era, but on the actual first day of school, we both proved our readiness by him happily going into the building and asking where to find his teacher. He goes three days a week for 2.5 hours, and I really love it. Emory does too, and he really loves his teacher, Mrs. Westerman (he calls her "Mr. Westerman" because it rolls off the tongue so nicely).<br />
<br />
Emory has learned the letters through L so far, and numbers through 6, and as his writing becomes more legible, his confidence in art projects is growing as well. The kid loves to cut things. He can write his whole name, though he chooses to call himself "Emo" because the r and y are a little tricky for him, and I guess he wouldn't be my child if he weren't a perfectionist. (Sorry kiddo). I have a goal to work on it with him while school is out for the next couple weeks so he can go back and surprise everyone by writing his whole name all the time... we'll see how that goes!<br />
<br />
The past month or so seems to be a growing period, just because E has shown a little more attitude and nervousness about school, but I think that's normal? So now it's Christmas break and it's not even 30 minutes past when he would normally get home, and neither one of us know what to do with all the time and energy we have, especially since it's cold outside. Wish us luck! We will welcome January 6 with open arms.<br />

I'm not quite sure where the second half of October went, but seriously, I feel like we've been running full tilt since a couple days before my birthday. I'm in for a lazier November, especially because I think I have sick kids this weekend, and so obviously, <i>slow down</i>. I really really loved October though, until I got too busy and cranky about it this past week. It has been the most gorgeous fall--mixed with a week of thick fog too, but the pacific northwest has to balance its beauty with things like that so it doesn't get too overcrowded, right? Anyway, the leaves have been spectacular, and we've had mostly dry, sunny weather, so I can't complain. </div>

We found a great, huge pumpkin patch here a couple years ago, complete with pumpkin cannons and fresh made, hot pumpkin donuts, so we went the Monday after my birthday and took Amber only to discover that the bulk of the activities only happen on Saturdays. We talked about going back but never made it. After deciding to make the best of the empty patch, Penn quickly figured out how to use a straw with an apple cider slushy. This kid is motivated. Then we picked a pumpkin and Amber did too, and I think she carved hers, at least. My saving grace is that Emory and I carved one last week with my MOPS group, so one pumpkin carved is better than no pumpkins carved, I suppose. </div>

<br />
Our Halloween began last night at the trunk-or-treat at church, and Emory had SO much fun driving his firetruck down the line of cars. The decision to let him do so may not have been the best on our part, considering all the candy crazed other children around and the gas pedal that sticks, but seriously, he loved every minute. Penn remained such a trooper until the minute I put him to bed way too late, though for most of the night he had a soggy diaper and hadn't had enough to eat.<br />
<br />
The festivities continued this morning at Emory's preschool, with the entire day devoted to Halloween. I got to be there to see the cute fireman in action with his friends, watching as he made crafts and trick-or-treated around the building.<br />
<br />
After naps for the boys and dinner with the missionaries, we headed to the local fire station, but not before taking a few poorly lit photos of boys in costume. They are adorable anyway, and Penn's costume is rather fitting since we sometimes call him "Dragon."This holiday is so much more fun with kids.<br />
<br />
Our trip to the fire station made me appreciate our local firemen so much more. They all LOVED Emory and his costume. Truth be told, we had decided on him being a pilot for Halloween, but he changed his mind the day the fire unit visited his school. We went to the store later that day and E spotted THE costume he had to have. Tonight, Fireman Boyle was so thrilled that he went to get his coat and hat for a picture.<br />
<br />
Oh and, Emory and his little best girl friend Eve dressed the same for the church party. Too fun.<br />
<br />
The sugar free-for-all worked in our favor tonight when Emory ended it mid-airhead and said he couldn't take any more for at least a week. Awesome.<br />

We gave Penn his first peas tonight. Obviously, he was thrilled, and obviously he needed a bath afterwards. Baby boy is growing up too fast.<br />

I just had to post these two photos. Penn is on top, Emory on the bottom. I think our boys share the same eyes and some of the same expressions, but they don't ever look much alike to me. It's hard to tell in sleep, but I love that they're wearing the same jammies. The biggest difference here is that Penn is somewhere between 4-5 months, and Emory was around 8 months- huge size difference!Jon and Meghan + boyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05569335642849576611noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700309720013460851.post-61335303668721559522013-09-15T21:11:00.001-07:002013-09-16T22:17:02.008-07:00penn-boy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This baby. I adore him. He's sometimes a stinker, most of the time pretty easy-going, always incredibly active, and forever adorable. Penn sleeps incredibly well at night and not so well for naps unless someone (me) holds him. This means I mostly watch too much Netflix, but at least I feel the heavy weight of his precious body against mine. He changed and grew so much from mid-July until now... the past two months have come and gone more quickly than any in my life.</div>
<br />
I've been thinking lately how life is a series of moments and events that fade into memories. As time continues to pass more quickly than I thought possible, I have made the decision to relish those moments and events in the moment a little more. I have a love/ hate relationship with my iphone currently- all the photos in this post are courtesy of the iphone camera and I love that convenience- I want to disconnect from technology more and notice my children more, play with them more, love them more.<br />
<br />
The week after we returned from our trip to southern California (a week or so before his 4-month birthday), Penn started rolling from his back to his stomach and really pushing up. Around the same time, he started grabbing toys for real, and the rolling became useful in getting to said toys. Then he determined Emory is the coolest person ever- especially for his big boy toys, discovered his toes, and decided the bath is the greatest place to spend time. The milestones continue with pretty much sitting unassisted (for at least a minute and longer if he doesn't think about it too much, and the cutest ever bum-in-the-air-feet-push-forward thing- crawling is soon, I'm sure. And despite my attempts to hold this child from table food until 6 months, he's been eating avocado off and on for about a month now, and loves homemade yams, as of a couple days ago.<br />
<br />
And now a smattering of photos, in mostly chronological order, from the past almost 2 months.<br />

Over the past year since the Ferrari cake from Emory's 3rd birthday, the boy has become completely in love/ unhealthily obsessed with/ incredibly acknowledgeable about Porsches. Naturally, when we asked him what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday this year, he expressed his main concerns about Porsches being the garnish. And somehow out of that, we made up a few simple games that turned the entire thing into a Porsche-themed party. Needless to say, Emory went around talking about it for weeks prior, and had a huge smile on his face for the entire party. We let him have his first "friend" party this year, (he got to invite 4 friends, since he turned 4) and held a no-presents-allowed policy, knowing we would get together with family on his actual birthday. However, we couldn't resist and let him open his first gift from us the morning of the Porsche party so he could represent his favorite car with his new shirt. </div>

Summer is flying past and almost over now; Penn is now almost 5 months old, and here I am posting pictures of him on his 3 month birthday. Mostly for my record, I want to remember him at exactly 3 months, when this baby started noticeably appreciating his toys, really love playing with Emory, and smiling huge at people other than me. I think that around 3 months is the turning point when Penn started to look less like a new baby, and sound less like a new baby, and suddenly, I realized he's growing up way too fast. He's so much fun though, and really quite easy to please, so I'm trying hard to not get too sentimental and enjoy each stage as it comes.<br />

We got the best photos of Penn's life so far on Father's Day, enough to split into two posts. I love to see Penn and Emory interact so much. Emory is by far Penn's favorite person. When big brother is not in sight, Penn cranes his neck toward the sound of Emory's constant jabber. And Emory says all the time, "I just vove Penn." We're so lucky with such happy, good kids. And I'm so lucky Jon is their dad. He's the best possible for them, and he just keeps getting better. He loves his boys, and I love them all.<br />

Jon blessed our handsome Penn this past Sunday, Father's Day. I love to see Jon father our children in all ways, but there's something especially powerful when his love and God's love combine in a priesthood ordinance like a blessing. The doctrine of eternal families is so real. </div>

Penn is so special, so lighthearted, and so fun. I know he'll bring joy to us and his acquaintances for his whole life. I also have no doubt he'll keep us on our toes. Love this little boy.</div>
