Blessings Galore
On Sunday, we had a busy day at church. Andy had his blessing during sacrament meeting, and Alex was baptized after the regular block of meetings. It was a triple baptism as his cousin Kyle and friend Laken were baptized as well. It all went very well, and we're so proud of our sweet boys. Enjoy the pictures!

My Newborn Vampires
This goes out to all you Twilight fans out there. (And if you haven't read the Twilight series, you don't know what you're missing!!!)
My Young Women are all fans, so this was just priceless. This picture was taken at a combined activity last Friday night. For some reason, they feel they have to make goofy faces in just about every single picture they take. And when this one came out with "red eye" in pretty much every single one of them, I really had to laugh because they look like a bunch of newborn vampires. Check it out! (You may need to click on the picture to really get a good look at it.)
And by the way... I just finished reading "Breaking Dawn" and was not disappointed. Stephenie Meyer delivered a beautiful ending to Bella's story. Can't wait for the Twilight movie coming out this December!!!

A Lack of News
So my Katie wants some news as it has been over a month since my last post. Alas, I do not have much to add here as not much is going on. Alex graduated from his Guppy swim class and will be enrolling in the minnow class the next time we can afford it. Alfred had to spend a few days working up in Madison, Wisconsin a couple weeks ago and decided to take us with him. There wasn't much we could do aside from hanging out at the hotel pool and laughing at the names of some of the cheese shops and casinos we saw from the road. So here are a few pictures of that:
But here's my favorite:
Also, my niece Tammy got a great shot of Andy last Friday night. I don't know how she does it. She has this talent of catching people making the weirdest expressions. She hit gold with this one:
And I suppose this one also falls under the "What the scallop???!!!!" category, too:
A little background on that last one... We had our ward water fight on July 5, and Alex was really cold by the time it was over. He found a bucket that had surprisingly warm water in it, and decided to warm himself up in there. That is, until Brother Phillips told him it was so warm because he'd peed in it. It was a joke of course, but Alex took it seriously and was grossed out for quite awhile before we realized it and let him know that he wasn't saturated in urine after all. Poor kid...

Five weeks later
It's been five weeks since our little peanut joined our family, and it's been heavenly. He sleeps well at night, eats like a little piggy, and is putting on plenty of chubs. Andy's big brother Alex is being a big help and giving him plenty of lovin'. We've taken to calling them Thing One and Thing Two. Enjoy the new picture!

Alex the Soccer Star and Many Thanks
It's been fun, but Alex's soccer season is almost over. For those of you who wanted to see him in his soccer gear, here it is...
We signed him up for a recreational team rather than a competitive team because he's never been on a team before, and we wanted him to have fun no matter what. As much fun as it has been for him, he's decided that soccer is not really his thing and would prefer to go back to taking swimming classes instead. I'm actually very happy about this as it will mean no more running around NW Indiana on the weekends.
On another completely unrelated note, I'd like to thank the Young Women at church who threw such a nice surprise baby shower for me last night. I spent most of my night afterwards inhaling the scent of all the new baby clothes and supplies and wishing so hard that this little guy would decide to make his entrance into the world right NOW! We've changed his name, by the way, to Andreas Benjamin Harbich. Any time now, Andy Pie!
