12 and Counting! Welcome to Efram Moroni Kaouk!

If it wasn't obvious by the title. Then I'll spell it out. Trisha and Moroni had their little boy Wednesday November 4th  about 2:30pm. I think he was 8 lbs 9 oz. and about 21" in length.Courtney and I were able to go and see Trisha and Efram at the hospital Wednesday evening. He is so adorable. That makes the 12th to my total of nieces and nephews. Pretty exciting. Trisha said that all went well and she is glad to have this over with. She is not sure, however, what it'll be like to have a baby and two other little ones as well.  I think having Moroni home and with Mom and Dad coming into town in less than two weeks things will be ok.

I'm sorry to say it Richard, Kate and Adelle, but I think he has more hair than Adelle at one year. It might help that his hair is dark black and Adelle's is really blond. He seemed to be doing really well. Then we got an email yesterday that one of his lungs partially collapsed and that there was a hole in it. The Doctors say that this is normal and were keeping a close eye on Efram. Apparently after a day the hole was smaller. Trisha and Moroni hope to be able to bring him home when Trisha is released today.


I finally figured out how to post pictures to this!! Yay!
Isn't he adorable with his chubby little cheeks!

Man, How I Love Fall Back Daylight Savings!!!

After both Courtney and I fell ill with some sort of flu and being very busy before that, we had a very quiet Halloween this year. Last year I made our costumes. We were Woody and Jessie from "Toy Story 2" and they turned out well. I tried to post a picture here but it didn't work I guess I've got some homework to do to make it work.  I love that I can go back and edit these. As you can see, I have added the picture. Awesome costumes, huh!? These year our friends who live above us, Richard and Kate and their little girl Adelle, let us come up for dinner and we watched movies. They are also getting over being sick. After getting sick it was a much needed nice quiet evening.

It's sad that here in this area of Provo, we don't get trick-or-treaters. But this year we did!!! Two families in our church came over with their little kids. They were cute. One was a duck and the other was Yoda. It was awesome.

Nothing super exciting. Hopefully I convinced Courtney into writing a post today. We shall see. Until next time. Have a wonderful week.

Found a way to a lazy weekend . . .

I'm doing a little better in blogging. It has only been a a little over a  month since our last post. Hopefully, it'll ge to the point where we are posting at least once a week. Someday I'll get Courtney to post something. Anyways, back the idea behind the title.

I found the secret. The only problem is that it isn't as exciting as it might sound. Courtney is sick!! Maybe with swine flu. We're not sure. She has a lot of the symptoms. So yes we got to have a very lazy weekend. but it isn't very fun. she is sick and I'm trying to take care of her. We hope it goes away quickly.

This past week has been a busy one. I've been trying to tackle projects in programming as well as midterms in other classes on top of "milestones"(checkpoints) for other semester projects. When I have free time it is spent with Courtney relaxing or with church responsibilities.

Courtney just finished teaching her first term this school year and with it came the grading of all of the last minute late work, tests, and quizzes being turned in. Grading this and entering it required the work of Courtney and myself as well as our good friends, the Mackays, who live above us. Getting sick was a wonderful way to top it all off. We hope she kicks the illness soon, because missing school would make her life more crazy with work. We are praying and keeping our fingers crossed that she does.

I keep saying this, but eventually we'll post some photos and a little info about our recent trip this past summer. Until then, have a great week and thanks for reading.
