 Christmas 2012 

Autumn LOVES to put on necklaces and Daddy's ties. 

 Our new apartment in Rigby

 My favorite part: The fireplace and mantle. 

 Yes, Autumn will be a computer junkie just like Adam.

We recently moved. In the dead of winter.  So between slipping on ice and freezing our tails off, we managed to get out of a basement and into the only open apartment within a 25 mile radius of BYU-I. Luckily, it's a nice place with a gas fireplace (that Autumn promptly burned her finger on) and fake hardwood floors in the kitchen and bathrooms. It's a little bigger than the basement was, and what's more, it's got washer and dryer hookups, which, to be honest, is probably one of the most important things for us right now.

So for those of you who weren't aware, we are having another baby in March, due on the 7th. As we all know plans like that usually never work out perfectly, we are significantly stressed about getting the birth to work out without killing Adam's grades in school.

You're all probably wondering about that, aren't you? Well, Adam invented a new algorithm he's calling the Nickle Sieve and finished writing a version in both C++ and Java. His teachers and classmates are all impressed. He's also working on making it meaningless, because, he says, if the trees he's looking at now do what they look like they are doing, he might be able to find the primes directly.

Autumn is growing faster than the speed of light.  Literally.  By the time we look at her next, she'll have grown about five inches. She loves computers almost as much as Adam does.  She also likes the kitchen cabinets a lot more than Rebecca does. With all the running we have to do to keep up with her, we might actually get into shape one day. She loves to read, babble, and whisper to herself. And eat fruit and candy.

Kenwood, our next in line, is coming out a boy (that would be a really strange name for a girl). He enjoys doing somersaults all night and kicking your hand when it's close enough to reach. He finally decided it was time to do a headstand in mommy's tummy, so we are now very glad he's not breach.  He seems to be perfectly healthy in spite of the fact he's hooked up to a 2-vessel umbilical cord instead of the normal three.

Rebecca stays at home, sews, does laundry, and tries to keep up with Autumn. She's beginning to look fit to burst, and Kenwood is doing his best to keep that going. We're still unpacking, so we haven't done a ton with hobbies and whatnot since moving, but that is coming soon.

So, here we are, the frozen chosen dozin' growzin' northerners from Norway Idaho. If you're feeling like a visit to a park devoted to smelly yellow rocks and big furry cows, or if you want to see a super cool waterfall, or if you really want to stop by just to say hi for a couple of days, our doors are open unlocked (when we are here) and we'll open them for you, but only for a second so we don't freeze to death.

Have a good one all, and Keep the Faith!
