Getting Closer

As of today, we have six weeks until the due date. We've got all kinds of baby gear and a decorated nursery and now we're just waiting for a little girl to put in it. We're getting really excited. We're enjoying California. It's getting warmer and the brown hills around our neighborhood are starting to turn green. I am really liking my job at EY and learning a lot. Tess is working for a computer chip company for now until the baby comes. We've even been driving together to work. The carpool lane can save quite a bit of time.

We're starting to settle into our ward and getting more attached and involved with it. Tess is in Young Women's teaching the Beehives, and I teach a youth Sunday School class and the Elders Quorum. We really miss family though and we're excited for our next visit to Utah. We're also excited for some of you to come and visit for the baby blessing! Other random visits are always welcome too! We could go to San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, or even the lovely San Jose.

Congratulations to our baby's new cousin Tyson. Pictures of him are at: http://thomasfamily.pbwiki.com/Paul%20and%20Val%20Young. Also, congrats to aunt Stacie and soon-to-be new uncle Joseph! They're getting married at the end of this month! We're glad to have both Tyson and Joseph in the family. We hope all is well for everyone!
