Baby Updates

I finally got to meet my new niece-- Amy Linda Nielsen. She's a cutie-- definitely a keeper.

(I was hoping for an awake picture, but I guess being born was too hard of work to warrant waking up-- even for a visit from Aunt Kim. Good thing Amy's photogenic even when she's asleep!)

The Nielsens sure know how to make cute babies, don't they? We'll see if the Williams can match them in the cuteness competition . . .

Let's not forget all the hard work Krista did, either. She was a pro and we're glad she's doing well. Bryce was a great birthing coach and post-natal support too; he even picked out one of his favorite Disney movies for Krista to watch today (The Great Mouse Detective).

Janel, Sage, and Eliza all came to congratulate her too (even though the hospital made Eliza wear a special "Child" sticker on her back-- the fact that she only weighs 20 lbs isn't obvious enough already?)

Congratulations, Krista, Bryce, and Amy on a great team effort! We're excited to welcome Amy to the extended Wilson family. We love you!

Welcome to the Newest Nielson!

Congratulations to Krista and Bryce on their new arrival-- a baby girl, at 7:45pm today (hopefully Suzy doesn't mind sharing her birthday with her niece)!

Baby girl Nielsen weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz and measured 19 inches long.

Both baby and mother are doing well. I'm looking forward to meeting my new niece and hopefully having pictures of her to post soon (as well as a name, maybe?)

Congratulations, Krista, Bryce, and Baby. We love you!

Happy Halloween?

This isn't the new post I just promised (although that one will be following shortly, as well), but I thought it deserved to be posted, nonetheless.

Anyone out there in need of some pumpkin carving ideas? I recently found this idea for my next Halloween pumpkin.




What think ye? A worthy Halloween project?

Questions and Answers

I thought the ice-cream tradition was pretty well-known at BYU. My readers have proved otherwise (either that or the majority of them have been out of the dating pool for too long now . . .)

At any rate, I add clarification for any confused readers (lest I once again fail in my communication skills).

At BYU a popular tradition abounds concerning dating and the moving of stages in dating:

1. If you hold hands with someone, you owe your roomates M&Ms
2. If you kiss someone, you owe your roomates ice cream
3. If you get engaged, you owe your roomates a steak dinner (Note: I have never had a roomate actually pay up on this one. Nor have I heard of anyone's roomates ever paying up on this one. Maybe it's a dead tradition. And I don't really like steak anyway, so I guess it doesn't really matter.)

Draw whatever conclusions you may about the below post.

P.S. I apologize for such a short post. Rest assured, a new post will be soon to follow (if I ever make it through all my tests and projects!) And it's going to be dang funny.
