We have not had our baby yet, but while we wait i thought i'd report on our other wondrous progeny.
Progeny #1 - Morgan - Loves to analyze, argue and tease , has recently started entertaining himself in sacrament meeting by doing math problems to decode secret messages, charmed me with his scholarly appearance when he put the pencil behind his ear so he could fold his arms during sacrament. Recently while pulling out bamboo (it grows as a weed in our yard) he found that the thicker stalks broke off more easily than the skinny ones and made this observation, "Bamboo and people work the same; when they get fat they don't have much strength, but when they stay skinny they have a lot of strength." Made me laugh!
Progeny #2 - Emma - Loves to sing, dance, and dramatize, has started to tell us stories about "the lonely princess" (maybe this has something to do with the fact that she will soon have three brothers and no sisters), After a service project at the temple she repeatedly told us how she felt a happy spirit at the temple and because she was obeying the parents. She can have some serious attitude but can also be very sweet.
Progeny #3 - Talmage - Loves to run and roar and make trouble, we often think we should have just named him "danger" because of all the climbing, bonking and falling he does, he loves to lay on his belly when doing things that require concentration like reading books, coloring or observing grass and bugs up close, during family prayer he starts with arms folded then quickly gets up to bonk the kids on the head or try to make them laugh and usually folds his arms again before we say "Amen", crazy yet cute.
Progeny #4 - ???? - Apparently has no desire to leave the cramped quarters of my belly, doesn't let Mom sleep much, the kids have decided that he is definitely nocturnal, name suggestions are welcome.And just so Nate doesn't feel left out and because he is the handsomest part of our family here is one more picture of all our boys.
