Eskimo Baby

Heidi gave me permission to brag on her new baby. I just have to keep looking at her! She was born at 1:40 this morning, weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long. And yes, that hair is BLACK. Mom and baby are doing great!

Halloween with Evie

Well, Evie Mae Blackburn came on October 27, 2009!!! She has been so fun! It was nice to be home for Halloween. Josie is so sweet to her and loves to touch her cheeks and kiss her head. There have been a couple of times when I've heard her singing little lullabies to her or This Little Piggy with her toes.

Mission Call!

I received my mission call last week to Tempe, Arizona! I report on February 3rd. I can't wait for this opportunity to serve the Lord!

It was a neat experience-I was 'racing' this boy that sits in front of me in orchestra to see who could get their papers in first. He lives a couple blocks away from us, we went to the same high school and we both play cello, majoring in music (so we've known each other for a while). We put our papers in a week apart, but we got our calls on the same day to the same place! In fact, there are at least 5 missionaries from our stake that have recently been called to Arizona. Crazy!
Thanks for all your love and support! Love you all!

FINALLY!!!

Max is 1 and Abby is 3

Lisa took some pictures of the kids for me about a month ago. I noticed Max was losing his chubby cheeks a bit and starting to look so... grown up. Plus, they both just had birthdays so I thought this would be good time to get them done.
Rather than posting them here again you can find them here if you want to see. Thanks Lisa!

Alison Graduates

On July 23rd, Alison graduated from BYU-I with a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Sports Science. Dale and I handed out Alumni pins at her convocation and got to attend the luncheon and commencement ceremonies with her. She is so-o-o happy and we are so-o-o proud!

First Annual Schow Family Reunion

It's already here! We have a very open agenda that can be changed at any time, so we will just go day to day and see how it flows. (Can you tell I don't have a red personality?)

So far, we have:
Thursday night: can stay in Uncle Mark's condo. Just let him know.
Friday day: Meet at Ideal Beach as early as you want. We are going to crash at Chris and Steve's place. We can swim at the pool or the beach, golf at 1:20 (I think) and lunch will be provided by Jan. (Taco Salads)
Friday night: Reservations have been made at Hampton Inn,1665 No. Main St. Logan.
Check-in time is 3:00 pm and check-out time is noon.
Saturday morning: continental breakfast, family meeting TBA-to deicide what everyone would like to do. I think Mark is making some golf reservations, Jeri has a list of shopping, hikes and tubing down the Logan River and other things that we can do.
Saturday afternoon: Meet for lunch provided by Linda (sandwiches)
Saturday night: Eat where ever you want and put children to bed early.
Sunday morning: Continental breakfast. Church at 10:40 or 12:30 at Bear Lake
Sunday afternoon: Lunch by Jeri. (hamburgers and hotdogs) Crash at Chris and Steve's for as long as you want to stay.
Looking forward to a fun filled weekend with my Schow relatives!!
