hi there.

We are alive and kickin' here in blazing hot St. G. We have had a busy few weeks! Perris is working now, then we picked up Gpa Kusilek (Dan) and Maddy, who came to visit us for a week from Wisconsin. Maddy is home from Argentina!! We are thrilled thrilled and had so much fun with them here with just us for a week. Pictures to come-they are all on Maddy's camera. then we headed up to Provo area for the weekend to drop Maddy off and to bless Wade in our ward there. 'Twas excellent! We miss Maddy already (and all family for that matter). Jami and her kidlets are down here and it has been great to be with family for so long!

You may want to admire my handsome baby now. :)

Here he is at bath time. He's 5 weeks today...it's just so normal to have him with us. We really looooove the little champ. He is getting bigger, but really is just still so small. He hasn't outgrown any clothes yet so I just keep feeling he'll stay small forever. I'm sure in a month or 2 I'll be going crazy that he's in new clothes. We just love to be with our little woot, he is so funny.

the pursed lips look. hilarious.

arms flailing in the air. loves that.

Alright now. I was reviewing pictures last night and just burst out laughing. I'd like to share with you the 2 worst pictures in the history of my life. All within a few days of each other. The bottom one is so so bad, but I just keep laughing so much. Perris came in one morning while I had Wade sleeping with me from his last feeding. I heard him at the last moment and opened my eyes and jumped/gasped. This picture caught me just as I started opening my eyes. Sweet Perris trying to take a nice tender picture of Mom and Baby...to take a hideous picture of my dinosaur looking neck/head. But it makes us laugh so so hard. I'll really try to share some more attractive pictures soon. Hope you have a good laugh, too.

(doing better with the sling-thanks for the help!)

fea fea fea. Wade is cute though!
