Carl set up this blog many months ago, and it has been sitting dormant--until now! I've decided to start blogging. Mainly because I think it's such a handy way to journal our lives, and to let people peek in at the same time! I want to begin by introducing our family:
This is Carl, great husband and super daddy. He's 33 years old. He is a computer programmer, currently working for a company called Surgeworks where he gets to manage a team of programmers in Brazil. He loves having the opportunity to speak Portuguese! As a side business, Carl is occasionally hired (with his business partner) to record conferences and put them online. He's been all around the US doing this, and to Norway. Carl is the Music Chairperson in our ward/church congregation, so he gets to share his musical talents. He also works with the 11-year-old scouts. What a guy!
This is me--Kami, or Mom--when our daughter, Annie, was born. 29 years old. I'm lucky wife to Carl, and mother of four fantastic kids! I give hugs, help with homework, change diapers, and attempt to keep the household in order (a lifelong goal)! I'm secretary in our ward Relief Society. I love to gorge on a good book when I get the chance.
James is our oldest. He's 7 years old--almost 8, in 2nd Grade. He's a smart kid, and a good helper! He also plays the piano. He wants to be a scientist some day.
Joseph is almost 6. He loves plants and animals, and has an active imagination. He's strong-willed, too. He just started Kindergarten!
Samuel is 3 years old. He's a little more rough-and-tumble than his brothers. His face is very expressive, and he's finally learning to talk!
Annie has now reached 4 months (she was born May 24th). We're so excited to have a baby
girl in the family! She's usually a pretty happy baby, I just thought this "crabby" picture was cute:) Annie can smile, coo, laugh, and roll over!
This is our cat, Shadow, just after a bath. She's really a pretty kitty when she's dry:) We've had her about a year and a half, in which time she's had many adventures and a few surgeries!
This is a picture of the whole family on Annie's Blessing Day in July.
And this is our home in South Jordan, Utah!
So, the introductions having been made, we will proceed to post our news and thoughts from time to time...and hope you'll enjoy looking at them!
