Since being home from Europe...

Gosh, I am finally done blogging about Europe so I can move on to what has been going on since we got home. The first couple of weeks were CRAZY with trying to catch up at work and at school. I still sort of feel like I haven't had time to catch up. Anyway my two dearest friends both had little babies within a few weeks of each other. MiShelle had baby Daxton and Emily had baby Norah. I am so proud of both of them they were so strong and brave, neither had the easiest birth. I got to visit baby Norah when she was just a new little one up at LDS hospital. She was so perfect it amazed me. It was spiritual even for me to hold her little body, isn't God wonderful?Emily and Brian now live in Ohio so that is probably the last time I will see Norah sadly for awhile. I was sick right after I saw her so I couldn't go see her again and as Em just told me on the phone she is changing by the minute. The picture of her isn't that great because I
forgot my camera so its taken from Matt's phone. I didn't get to see Daxton until he had been out for a few weeks since Jesse and Mishelle live in Vernal. I couldn't wait to see him and he was everything I hoped for. He loves me so much of course and let me hold him without a fuss for a few hours. It was fabulous! According to Mish, Daxton or DAX as I like to call him, is a wonderful baby and has his aunt Raquel's eyes. Ok I added that part in there. He is super cute and I can't wait to get back to Vernal to hold him. We just happened to go to Vernal that weekend for a very special event. My dear friend Heather was married to a great guy, Eric. I wouldn't have missed seeing her happy face on that day for anything. I was glad I could be there and all events in Vernal are like one big high school reunion so they are really fun. Here are some
pictures, congrats Heather! By the way I chopped all my hair off as well!

Well...you photoshopped that last picture of us because I actually looked somewhat decent for once while the rest of you looked gorgeous as always ! J/K!!! It was so good to see you. I love your cute hair and your cute personality. I miss seeing you more. Can't wait until you have tiny baby Raquel and Matt's....they will be the luckiest kids ever!

So many things to say:

1) So glad you guys had a great trip. It looks like it was tons of fun!

2) Super cute hair! I LOVE it!

3) Love the name Norah. If Parley had been a girl that would have been his name. Super cute babies. (And I can't wait to see little Bell babies too. Ask Matt if he will still name it Taco from Ms. Dobie days?)

4) Hope you guys are doing good. We miss you!
