Abigail went to church today for the first time! It was her big debut! It was also the primary program and Kohen was singing so i really wanted to be there. He did amazing! He marched right up with all the other sunbeams and sang his songs, smiled a bunch and looked completely comfortable in front of everyone. Incredible really, for those who know Kohen. I took Abigail home after sacrament meeting but then got a call from Braden to return for the kids because Evelyn had pooped her pants in nursery (I had of course taken all the diapers with me) and Kohen flatly refused to attend primary. I mention all this because the high drama and adventure that is Kohen and Evelyn is in such contrast to quiet little Abigail who loves to lazily dream away in the swing...regardless of what hubub is occuring around her. I do keep reminding myself that at three weeks of age, this might be a passing phase as well. She will probably join the fray in a month or two. But I am definitly enjoying her mellow content little personality for now.

Snow!

We have officially started our winter season. Kohen and Evelyn are super excited for the snow. I think Evelyn doesn't really remember last winter and Kohen is just thrilled to wear all his new snow gear. Our first sledding adventure out in the neighborhood was a success. Kohen tried out all the hills near our house and Evelyn tried to eat as much snow as possible before I could pin her down and stop the feast. I'm afraid she wasn't distinguishing between good clean fresh snow, and snow in the road, snow on rocks...yellow snow (oh please not that!)

I never really did send out an official "welcome baby" announcement, so I guess this is it. Three weeks post fact. Abigail Ruth Galloway was born October 9th at 11:19 am and weighed in at 7lbs 4 oz. She is a sweet little thing and much loved already by her big brother and sister.

Update on US

WOw, I haven't blogged in forever! I can't believe what I've missed writing about and the pictures I haven't posted. I will try and get around to putting the cute ones online. My computer contracted a deadly virus and had to be put down (especially after it sent my parents bogus emails with porn links), so I have been without a real computer to use for awhile. I have posted some picture of our latest summer camping adventure to Halibut Cove as well as some birthday pictures of Kohen turning three. I will have to back track a bit to get Evelyn's one year pictures on. I was looking at the pictures I have posted of her and she is so much bigger now than any of you have seen yet! She is walking (as of yesterday), talking (okay maybe like 7 words), and chomping food with gusto (using all 8 of her teeth with great enjoyment). So I resolve to not let a little computer malfunctioning get in the way of my blog! I will try and post more regularly! I will post my summer photos so you can see them! I am also trying to not eat sugary things but Kohen's chocolate cake with chocolate cream cheese frosting was just too much to abstain from. I ate it :-) and it was delicious.
Happy August everyone!

Halibut Cove and Kohen's Birthday!

Easter

Easter was a bit wild for us this year. Actually all of 2010 has been going at a whirlwind pace. I had big plans for Easter activities this year but at the last minute Braden ended up going in for hernia surgery. We did get some egg painting in though. Kohen loved it! Although he refuses to eat hard boiled eggs. I can't be too surprised, it is high on my list of 'most disgusting foods ever'. I've tried really hard to never go on about my egg aversion and I thought I was doing pretty good because he loves scrambled eggs. But a hard boiled egg is just too much over the top egg-ness. We enjoyed listening to Church Conference on BYU TV and just laying around the house. Braden has been recovering really well, considering all the activities he has undertaken since the surgery (Alaska Outdoorsman Show to sell Autohome rooftop tents). Crazy, crazy, crazy. I'd post pictures of that if I'd had the energy to take any. I didn't.
