Here is what we've been up to


Matt: Has been staying busy as the Young Mens President of our church. They went camping at Buffalo River and had a great time. Last week he received two job offers and he decided to be a law clerk for a law firm in Downtown Little Rock. He started working this week and so far he really enjoys it. He also started his 2nd year of Law School this week and is enjoying that as well.
Blake: Has mastered the art of walking. His favorite thing is to go outside and walk around and look at all the plants and the water fountain out front. He is also trying to get the hang of using a sippy cup, it has been a little bit challenging but he is getting better. Blake also likes to take things out (like toys from their box, books from his book shelf, pots from the cupboards, and when mom's not looking trash from the garbage) and put them back, playing with daddy, and dancing with mommy.
Me: My stomach is continuing to expand in size and I can no longer see my feet! Being in the primary presidency has kept me busy, but I am enjoying serving the children in our ward. That is pretty much it for me. I'm just glad that everyday I get to be doing the best job ever, and that is to take care of Blake! (P.S. If anyone has any good suggestions on good activities for a one year old and that doesn't cost any money I would love to hear it. I think Blake is starting to get a little board of our usual activities).

Natalie Backus! Look at how good you look! You have less than a month until your due date and you look amazing! You are all baby! I hope you are still feeling well. I can't wait for Blake's little brother to get here! I'm so happy for you and Matt that school is going well and he's been able to get a job. What an busy but exciting time in your little family's life. I'll be thinking of ideas for Blake and let you know...

You look so cute, Natalie. Thanks for posting the picture of your cute belly. :) You really do look great! I bet if you took a picture of your back it wouldn't even look like you are pregnant. I can't believe how fast your pregnancy has gone. Time seems to fly faster everyday. How are you feeling? I hope well. Sounds like things are going well for you guys. What a blessing for Matt to find a job. I will ask my sister Ralae what activities she does with Joshua to keep him busy. It can be hard sometimes.
