Nesting

As we've settled into the new year, I think both Tracie and I have realized that we've got another kid on the way. Baby preparations have been in full swing, which mainly means commiserating with Tracie over the lack of quality, not overly popular, and not overly stereotypical boy's bedding options. It also means a lot of reassuring her that the boy won't be a crazy ball of energy that will need to be on a leash when we go out in public.
On the bright side of pregnancy, Tracie has finally warmed to the idea of at least watching the Harry Potter movies. We've watched the first 4 since Christmas, and hopefully by the time kid number 2 comes, we'll have made it through the first 6. If he ends up being named Albus Sirius Ware, you'll know how much she has enjoyed the movies.

Lot of words to this point, so I'll give you a break with some pics of Brooke and one of her new passions, helping us cook. Very hands on, and an excellent pourer and stirer.

This weekend our stake hosted Sister Dibb, who is in the Young Women's General Presidency as well as the daughter of President Monson. Tracie got a couple of opportunities to listen to her, and I got a couple of opportunities to put up chairs and clean the church. She was an excellent speaker, and a very down-to-earth, sincere, approachable women who can tell stories just like her dad. Made for an excellent sacrament meeting today.
