Here are the latest photos:

This year we attended the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple together. We sat at the front of the middle section to stretch out our legs in the walkway, but it became a problem just before and after the show when it turned out our super cute daughter was stopping traffic. Everybody passing by wanted to see her and the crowd of worshipers quickly clogged the major walkway. She gets that response everywhere she goes so I feel confident that despite my biases she is indeed a very cute baby. Even the pediatric nurses (who see lots of babies) at the doctors office take notice. Each time we visit another nurse drops by our room and says, "I'm not your nurse but I just had to see this baby I've hears do much about. Everyone says she is so cute."

We had visitors for Easter. Matt's sister Heather is on the left, beside her boyfriend Brandon, and Jen's mom (Karen) is on the right.

My work colleagues threw a shower for Abby last week. It was very nice. Thanks Emily, Elyssa, Dana, and everybody!

Last week we had our annual scout fundraiser--a chili cook off. Jen says I look sexy in a uniform, but since I disagree I'll withhold those photos (and since Jen doesn't remember how to post to the blog it will stay that way). Here you see Paul and Carly Aylworth beside Sarah and DJ Stapley.

Today Abby rolled over for the first time (though this is a photo of an earlier failed attempt).
One of Abby's favorite sleeping locations.


And here is some video from Abby's Easter photo shoot. The voices are Jen and her mother.

Settling Down

So we've been back in Arizona for a week now and things are settling down--sorta. My mom has been in town to help us watch Abby and Jen took a short trip to California for a conference. My dad also visited briefly. Here are a few photos from the past week.
