So, in the dead quiet of Sacrament meeting two weeks ago, Noah says, (loudly - he doesn't know what a quiet voice is or how to achieve it) "Daddy? Do lice live in your hair?"

Needless to say, many people were laughing when they were supposed to be thinking about Jesus. Hmmm.

This Sunday (the 27th), he asks, "Daddy, why do they serve food here?" Again with the laughing.

I wonder what he will say this coming week? DURING Abby's blessing??? Hopefully, he will learn his whisper voice by then!

Saturday we went on a four mile hike (2 up, 2 down) up Neff's Canyon. It was a fabulous day. We packed a lunch so we wouldn't wither away.

Noah, as usual, was chattering away. Right now, he is fascinated with pirates. He is planning on being a pirate and an engineer when he grows up.

One of the (many) things he talked to us about was how pirates have to go to school. He then stated:

"I won't go to Pirate School, because they won't think I'm a pirate because I don't have a hook. I will just tell them that I used to have a hook, but they cut it off and put on a real hand instead."


I think that, that is pretty believable, don't you?

Two of our three favorite kids in the whole-wide-world.

Did I mention how cute they are?

(Someone told me that I really need to add pictures to our blog. How's about this?)

Yesterday, we went to Rob's oncology appointment. As you may (or not) know, his scan came back CLEAN!

Rob's doc told us that since his cancer has not reoccurred during the first two years after diagnosis; the likelihood of his cancer reoccuring after that is below twenty percent. We were thrilled to hear that.

The oncologist sat with us for 30 minutes and answered questions that we have asked more than once. He is fabulous. I would recommend him to anyone (hopefully, I don't have to, though).

July 26 marks the two-year mark. Can you believe that two years ago he was diagnosed? Neither can we. That first year felt like two. Funny how that works.

We have decided to add an additional year to our marriage - to celebrate that extra-long year.

So. Here we are. We have decided to finally get with it. We are now, officially & forever ???, a blog family.

HA!
