So much to catch up...

1. We closed on our house last Tuesday.
2. We found out we are having a girl on Thursday.
3. We finished packing everything up on Friday.
4. We moved everything into the new house and officially vacated the apartment on Saturday.
5. I taught the priesthood lesson on Sunday.
6. We all came to OCC today.

OK, some details...

Our ward members really came through on our move. Two people helped us pack up on Friday and about a dozen helped us move on Saturday. Because of all their help, it only took us 3 hours to move everything from the apartment to the house. Of course, now we have to organize everything!

The whole family was there for the ultra-sound on Thursday. It was really cool to see her little arms, hands and heart. When the tech said it looked like a girl, the greatest feeling came over me. My wife and I had suspected that it was a girl, and we were hoping for one. The boys are so excited to have a little sister, and I think they'll make great older brothers.

Well there it is for now. We've got a lot of work ahead of us as we settle into the new place, so you may not hear from me too often (so nothing new there!) I'll try to keep everyone informed as big events take place.

The happy homeowner,
Brad

Xandra has decided to call the baby "Babs" (for Brad, Alberta, Brad, Sam) until you tell us differently.

Congratulations! I'm excited for you. Little girls are lots of fun. So are houses and backyards. (And dirt.)
