Baby Jude

Here he is. Our sweet boy is 4 months old! He is a good happy baby, except when confined to his carseat for long periods of time.

Elder Harris has arrived!... at the Brazil MTC.

I am so sorry to bump precious Nina off the front page but I wanted to let you all know that after only 4 weeks of waiting in the Provo MTC Alex's Visa for Brazil came through! He left SLC via Dallas for the MTC in Brazil on Wednesday the 4'th of August and we received a letter from the MTC President that said our son is safe and sound. His email address is Harris.Alexander@myldsmail.net and his address at the MTC is now:

Nina Speaks

Yesterday Nina gave a talk in Primary. She was nervous, but all her practice paid off--she did a great job. When we got home from church, she humored me by giving her talk one last time. She was pretty much over it by then, but you can imagine how cute she was up there at the microphone.

And yes, she has lost her two bottom teeth.

This past weekend in Seattle we got to head out to the water front to take some photos of the newly engaged. It thoroughly wore me out, and I've learned that Im not nearly as limber a photographer pregnant. Ah well. :) Here are some sneak peaks.

Please write Elder Alex Harris!

Please write!

We have received some great letters from Elder Alex Harris in the MTC in Provo while he awaits his Visa. He is doing well and is enjoying his experience but is excited to get to Brazil! If you get a chance please drop him a line either email or letter but he seems to prefer getting snail mail?

Please welcome Brayden Sae-Hwan Wi!!!

Yesterday Kristina was having contractions all morning, so she spent the day with me. Around 1 or 2pm the doctor told us to come in. Her contraction was intensifying so they admitted her, then around 6 or so the doctor broke her water. Bryce's point of view (i'm just saying...):
Dr. said "I'll be back in about an hour.
"Kristina: "ugh it hurts so bad!"
doctor: "okay, maybe half in hour"
Kristina: "It hurts so bad!!"
doctor: "okay maybe fifteen minutes"
Kristina: "UUUUUAAAAAAHHHH!!! I'm about to Push!!!"
Doctor: "Okay maybe Now"
Then Plop! Baby pops out!! It's a Boy with his Shmeckle and starts Peeing on Kristina!! Nice!!
Welcome to our Family Brayden!! We Love You!!!

A Fairy Tale Proposal

Once upon a time there was a prince in the far away land of Bellevue who wanted to marry a princess….In another far away land named Costa Rica lived a princess who one day decided to move to Seattle…

One day they fell in love….

Karen and Richard

After dating for almost a year, the prince charming took the princess on a romantic night out…

The prince and the princes took a ride on a horse-drawn carriage through Seattle after the romantic dinner.

Then they stopped on this magical place at the water front, where they had their first date a long long time ago….

Then the prince took out a gorgeous ring…

And he kneeled and asked the princess: “would you be my wife?”

Then, the princess smiling said to her prince charming: yes my love!
