Torbyn




Torbyn is the only child in Kindergarten that can go to school with 2 different shoes on and not care about getting teased! He's also informed Jeff as he got the clippers out that he was growing his hair out!

Our little boy had a rough go in MD at first. He came home from school one day with a very sad face. Without saying a word, he got all his papers out and one of them was a book he composed called, The Sad Book. It was truly sad! He said how he missed Idaho especially his friend Emily. And he was really sad. The next page was our family with smiles next to our Idaho house saying, I miss Idaho! The last page was illustrated wtih our family driving back to Idaho in our van and he is all smiles. When we read this Jeff and I felt bad! Jeff talked with him and had him compose a happy book which consisted mostly of Torbyn playing football with dad.

A few days ago at the dinner table he annouced that when he grows up he wants to be a Kindergarten Teacher! Jeff and I looked at each other with relief.

We are adjusting to life in Maryland! Morgyn is close enough to walk to school! Jadyn and Torbyn bus it to school! Brittyn and Mommy are home together having fun and Dad is learning the ropes with his new job. Jeff is also starting his second class towards his Masters with Gonzaga.

We had a great Christmas! Only half of our tree fit in the house. But we made it work. In the end it still filled our window and Jeff was satisfied.
Before Christmas we took a trip on the Metro to D.C. and saw our nations capital in person and of course the 76 ft tree from Montana! The kids also loved the Natural History Museum!
A couple of days before Christmas we also drove to the DC temple to enjoy the lights. Not exactly like Temple Square but it worked!
Morgyn represented our family well today with a great youth talk about service. She was very poised for her first talk in Sacrament Meeting.
