LeAnn's Update

Hi everyone!  This is a great way to catch up on old classmates!  I love seeing the pictures of pets and children and what everyone is doing these days.

We're living in Norfolk, Virginia, right now.  It's such a long way from home but we are really enjoying it here and making lots of new friends.  We moved here in December after a short stint in Manti (for the kids and me) while my husband was at boot camp and tech school with the Navy.  I kind of feel like we got on the boat (~wink wink~) a little late but he's working hard and moving his way up fairly quickly.

Here's a picture of our 9 year old Tyler.  He played soccer this spring and keeps busy with Cub Scouts (we're his den leaders).  He'll be heading off to 4th grade in just a few weeks.

This is a picture of Colin (2 1/2) and our baby Kirsten.  She's going on 5 months old now.  We waited a long time for our little Colin to join our family so we were quite shocked to find out that I was expecting Kirsten after not even trying!  SURPRISE!

I get to stay home with the kiddos and love it!  I used to do lots of things like scrapbooking and cardmaking but who has the time these days?  I'm up to my elbows in diapers and Hot Wheels.

Well summer is almost over and we thought that we might post since we have been slackers since February. Everybody is doing well. Savannah is getting more cute and fiesty everyday. I would be fiesty too if my teeth were breaking through. :) Abbey and Annie love the outdoors and would spend every minute outside if they had the chance. Nicole has continued to be the great mom and supportive wife that she is. I am just finishing school which hopefully will be done with my Masters in Education with emphasis in Administration by next summer.

We have been pretty busy with baby blessings, family reunions, camping, and holidays this summer. It seems like I get more of a break during the school year. I wish we could have made it up to the Scandanavian Festival this year. Everytime I read Rachel's post about the finger lickin' turkey my mouth waters. Anyhoo, I hope that everyone has had a great summer and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Come and visit my blogspot

Hello everyone. I hope that you are all having a wonderful summer. I have been working hard at learning how to blog and I would like to invite you to visit my site and see what my family is up to lately. http://cnfawcettfam.blogspot.com
I have had it pivate until now but I think that it will be ok to make it public since most of my family and friends have theirs that way. So come visit and let me know what you think.
Enjoy your summer!
Rachel
