Yellowstone

Right after our stay at the hospital with Max. Chris and I went on a little weekend trip to Yellowstone. Here are some photos. Enjoy.

Max again.

I didn't notice Max was blurry so here is another one not blurry. Maybe I just wanted to see what he looked like before the seizures he has all kinds of scrapes and bumps from falling all the time. Poor guy. WE sure love him.

Easter Sunday

Ok I know it is really late since Easter was in April but we've been busy latley. Here are the photos from our Easter. My kids are so cute.

The letter of announcement!

I sent this email out to lots of my friends this morning. Spreading our news. But for all of you who don't live close and can't come help. I thought you'd like to hear the news too. Here is the email. Enjoy.

Hello everyone,

We need help. Well, really we want help. I'll just spit it out. I'm expecting again.
We are really excited to add one more little angel to our family. We have also decided
that it will be hard for us to add this little joy to our small house. We've thought
of all the options of putting different kids into different rooms and shuffling things around.
We decided that with Max's new seizure disorder and the demands babies bring, we
would rather not have Max and the baby share a room. So we've decided to put our house up for sale.
It will be heartbreaking to leave our ward and all of our dear friends here. But we've decided
this is the best thing for our family right now. With all of that said, I'm calling for recruits.
Since we spent most of May in and out of the hospital with Max we haven't really got
too much done on our house. Everything got put on hold. We really would like to list our
house as soon as possible. We can't list the house until it is ready, we have a lot of
work to do first before we can list it. This Saturday we're hoping we can have a bunch of people
come help us prep the house. We have some painting, lots of cleaning, packing, and yard
work to do. It will only be a couple of hours from 8 am until noon when we can all enjoy pizza
together. Many hands make light work. I'm hoping with a little extra help we can get a lot
accomplished. I have a bridal shower in the middle of the day on Saturday so that is why we are only
working in the morning. I still feel like we can get a lot done though. Let me know if you can come
help us with this big project. Cleaning up after 5 kids can be pretty messy. We don't know if, when, or where we might be moving to, selling is the first step so we just need the house ready to sell. Hopefully Heavenly Father will bless us to sell the house before the baby is born. We love you. Thank you so much for your support all of these years.

Miriam, Chris, Audrey, Hailey, Kate, Max, Ruth and baby :)
