Most Traveled Award goes to Ryan! 10 camp outs with the boy scouts (including a week at Camp Morrison),
10 days in Ukraine (for the Kyiv Temple dedication), 11 days in Singapore (for work), 5 trips to
Utah to visit family. Happily his commute is 3 miles, so he can come home for lunch most days.
Finding Joy in Motherhood Award goes to Malauna! This award has taken the entire year to qualify for: traveling to
San Fran with Sabrina; giving birth to
Leo; volunteering in Roderic's class; substituting in EACH of the kids'
primary classes; teaching Joy School for Hyrum (and 5 others); nursing a child with 6 teeth; hosting a Jam Session for Sabrina & friends who play stringed instruments; a lot of nights with Ryan gone.
Best Babysitter Award goes to Sabrina! She took 'Babysitting 101' at St Alphonsus RMC in February and has since had several well-paying jobs and a bunch of jobs at home. When the boys (or even Ryan) ask who is going to be the babysitter I reply, "I got
Sabrina. She's really good!"
Newest Reader Award goes to Roderic! First grade at TrailWind is all about reading and Roderic has discovered that he CAN read! His favorite authors include Dr. Seuss and Bill Peet.
Diaper Free Award goes to Hyrum! Right after Leo was born and Ryan was taking days off of work, he helped
Hyrum learn the joy of using the toilet.
All-Around Cutest Award goes to Leo! He got his
first tooth at 4 months, now he
has 6. He sings along with the Syringa Sound Chorus (and Mom) at their rehearsals. He makes a funny face with the first bite of every food (even if he's eaten it before).

Going home for lunch sure beats reading email.
