Favorite Books & Family Update

Being the extremely obedient child I am, and always have been, I am writing this post in response to my mother's request that we, quote, "Please share with the family your favorite children’s book - (and why)! And a quick one or two sentences on what each family is doing."

Gregg's Favorite Children's Book
The Whingdingdilly

It's probably no huge surprise that my favorite book is The Whingdingdilly by Bill Pete. Two reason's come to mind for this choice. First, Scamp, a true champion of a dog. Second, a great lesson about being content and happy with who you are and what you have.

Kim's Favorite Children's Book
Hop on Pop

Kim doesn't know what to say, she just loves this book. There really wasn't a story but it rhymed and happened to be the first book that Kim learned to read.

Family Update
First, Kim's research is coming right along. After some frustration with the cards they need to get DNA off of, they finally were able to get enough DNA they needed, a feat they are now replicating consistently which is great news. They can then compare this data against the key to see if their results are correct. If they are, that will be good news indeed.
Second, we love our new car. After not going to a carwash for approximately 4 years with the Falcon, we've already washed the Storm Trooper once after a quick camping trip that resulted in dusty bumpers. We also sold the Falcon in record time (less than 12 hours). It was a little emotional to watch Thomas (the new owner) drive away. Lots of memories in that vehicle.
Third, one week from today will be our first anniversary. As I stated on the Elwood/Thornley newsletter, we're in love we're in love and we don't care who knows it.
Fourth, we are really getting excited to move. Next week Gregg is riding the Cache Valley Century, but the week after that we'll road trip it out to Edwards for the visit. The week after that is LOTOJA, then two more weeks and we'll be ready to move! Woot! Can't wait.
