We're Alive!



            These last few weeks have been a blur.  I’ve (Chris) been so busy with my upper level Biology and Chemistry classes that I don’t know when I’ve had time to breathe.  Lindsey has been very busy helping Zella, working in a new calling for our church, and keeping track of a baby who now runs around the house and growing up fast. 
Westley has been growing up a lot.  He is not just walking now but sprinting and trying to climb.  His favorite thing to do is walk around the house with a phone in hand talking and giggling to the imaginary person on the other line.  (I think he gets that from Lindsey).  His favorite food is any type of berry, especially Blueberries! He can’t get enough of them. 
Lindsey’s new calling in our church is being a secretary to the Relief Society Presidency.  The relief society is the woman’s organization in our church and let me tell you they are way more organized than any of the men.  Lindsey has her hands full, but she loves it, especially being able to get to know and serve the other ladies in our ward (congregation).  I’m very proud of her and all she does.  She is an inspiration to Westley and me.
 I still work with the young men, which at times can be a daunting task, but I love it.  I am grateful to see how prepared our youth are for the difficulties ahead.  I am also as mentioned before, trying to finish these last few semesters of my Bachelor’s degree here at BYU-Idaho.  I love learning how our bodies work at the molecular level.  It brings an added testimony to me of the Love and Miracle our Heavenly Father provided in the gifts of our bodies.  It amazes me all that goes on molecularly every second that keeps us alive.  Though they may become frail at times, our bodies were a miracle and gift from God. 
We love all of you (family and friends).  Thank you for your love and support.  Westley can’t wait to see his Great Grandparents and Aunt Sarah, Uncle Brian, Grandpa Joel, Grandma Lisa, and Aunt Jackie.  Just one month until we see you. 
Here are some new pictures of Westley.
