See you in two years!

My little brother Neil went into the MTC today! I can't believe that he is old enough to go on a mission! He honestly is such a genuinely good person. Even though he is my younger brother I look up to him a lot. He is such a hard worker and because of that he has accomplished so much in his 19 years! I will miss him a lot!

I think that Madeline knew something was special about Neil today. She kept hugging him and tickling him and she just wanted to be around him. A couple of hours after we said goodbye to him she started asking us "Where did Neil go?" and "Neil where are you?" as she was looking in closets trying to find him. It was really sweet!

Holy Moly I'm showing!

I can't believe how fast I am showing this pregnancy! This is me at 21 weeks. We had our big ultrasound scan last week and everything looked great, and measuring on time.

Miss Madeline is as sweet as ever. She just got over a horrible stomach bug and is back to her old self. She is saying her own prayers now and says them at random times during the day. It is great. She said one in her sleep the other night! She normally blesses mom, dad, and the baby but we have also heard her talk about ketchup, eggs, Thomas the train, and Emily (her beta fish).
