A Bulleted Update

  • Baby Malia's crib is here! Tyler put it together this week and it's a beauty. I would take pictures of the room, but I want to wait until the bedding is in the crib/everything is all set up. She still needs curtains for her closet, maybe new blinds?, a few photos hung up and the doors painted. If anyone has any coupons send them my way =)
  • Speaking of Malia, we're liking the name Quinn too. Could it be Malia Quinn Morris? Quite possibly!
  • Tyler's having fun at school this week. It's spirit week so, he's been dressing up. Today was mismatch/mix-up day and he left the house with two different shoes, two different socks, conflicting plaid shirt and shorts, two ties and he even styled his hair differently on either side of his head. I swear this boy should win an award for the most fun teacher. I'm going to try and get a picture when he gets home to show you how cute he is.

    (I guess it was just one tie!)
  • Our family is feeling pretty blessed lately. Our heating/AC unit went out this week and both of us got sick with colds. Tyler called around and found someone in the ward who has his own business repairing heating/AC units and he came out and evaluated what the problem was. We were hoping, hoping that it wouldn't be much to fix and I guess it would have been very expensive, but he's giving us something like a 90% discount for being in the same ward and wanting to help us out. How nice is that? It's good to have a great ward (church) family! Some of our other 2010 and 2011 windfalls:
  • Lost a job (Hollywood), but gained a dream job (teaching)
  • Car broke down (Subaru), but applied a big tax refund to a new one
  • Quit a job (All Star - chiropractic), but gained a better one in a better environment (Performance - physical therapy)
  • Health insurance bills are huge now with the baby (high deductible), but have a health savings card with money to put towards the bills and our plan year finishes right after the baby is born (a great thing)
... we must be doing something right!

We hope you're doing good and feeling blessed too...
