Snow, Colds, and Ward Choirs

30 Jan

The FluSo the last couple of weeks have been going well for our family. Carrie has been up and down with a cold… Call it the flu, bird flu, or in my opinion the need to get a new set of tonsils ;-) The winter cold is never any fun that is for sure. At the bottom of the post I’ve given some great pictures to show you what the weather is like!
Kennedy has picked up a little of what Carrie has had and it seems like she has a constant runny nose that has no end to the amount of gunk… ok sorry about the visual, I’ll stop there. I’m sure you get the point.

However, on the positive side of that Kennedy is so cute because she will walk up to Carrie or I and say “nose” which means that she wants a klennex to wipe her nose. Even in the middle of the night when she wakes up crying I’ll go into her room and she’ll say in the nicest little sleepy voice, “nose”. She does a half-way decent job of wiping her nose (at least for a 21 month old) but not to be fooled because if you leave a Kleenex box within her reach she will very efficiently use every single Kleenex in box.

Splitting and Merging Paf Files

25 Jan

PafThe other day I was working with my mom, Cheri Benton and she needed her line of geneology in a PAF file. Well all I had was my complete file starting with me and including all my geneology and Carrie’s geneology as well. How do I get my mom’s information out and not include all the rest of the geneology found in the file?

This article is a tutorial on how to split a PAF file working in PAF 5.2. Heather requested this as well so here it is!

Hanna Lin Lyman is Born

11 Jan

Trent and Hanna Lyman

Trent and Janel Lyman had their little girl on January 9th, 2008. Here is what Trent had to say…

Little Hanna Lin Lyman was born at 4:16 PM. She was 8lbs 2 oz and 21 inches long. Janel came in to be induced at around 10:30 AM and Hanna came a short 6 hours later. Janel only had to pushed for about 10 minutes. Thank goodness for an epidural! I was probably the most uncomfortable one there this being the first time that I was actually present for the birth. Hanna had the cord wrapped around her neck, twice, but came out just fine. Hanna is doing great and barely cries at all. I hope that she keeps it up. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.

January is Oatmeal Month

7 Jan

Oatmeal MonthOur kids love oatmeal and we eat it almost every day for breakfast. I saw this and thought that it was awesome to have an Oatmeal month. Madalynn is our true blue oatmeal eater as she literally eats oatmeal everyday for breakfast! The first thing she’ll say many mornings is “Oatmeal”

Click the read more link below to read the full story about January being Oatmeal Month.  A couple of things we should do is get the 10 cook oatmeal rather then the quick cook… Maddie might have a breakdown waiting that long for oatmeal.
