Fun with Nick and Lindy

August was a whirlwind. We packed in the fun, not knowing when may be the next time we'll have all our kids together. We started out with a huge party (Open House) for the happy couple. Guests arrived, and so did the rain, but we had a good time anyway. Then we did several days of hiking and camping -- Seth was a trooper. The following week we went to Williamsburg and toured Jamestown Settlement and then did Busch Gardens. Lindy and Nick also got to do a private 2 1/2 hour tour of the Capitol building along with other DC sightseeing, some with family, some without.
Seth is now three months old and the cutest little sweetie ever! Here is a silly video of him.
Adrianne and Quinn left on Wednesday for BYU. Grandma and Grandpa Shumway picked them up and got them tucked in to their dorm/apartment and went to Freshman Orientation programs with them. Adri went to the good things like a program on choosing a major (maybe she'll finally settle on something) and the party-type things where food and fun were present. Both kids are going to do great this year.

Dads are for Fun, Moms are for Food

It's not really fair you know. I spend hours each day feeding and burping and changing and rocking the boy. But who gets the best smiles, and even giggles? Paul, of course. Seth thinks he's hilarious. Where do I file a complaint?
But I did have fun last week at Youth Conference at SVU. My part in it was necessarily small because of the unpredictability of a 2 month-old, but it was nice to soak it all in. Seth was the most popular guy at YC, by the way, and got passed around by all the women, many of the girls, and one nice young man (who, it appeared, had never held a baby, but he wanted to try.) President Lowe said that Seth has now had one YC, and only gets three more (LOL).
