Introducing my little miracle baby





My little cherub, Isaac David, was born on March 19 at 10:29 pm and weighed 5 pounds, 9 ounces, and was 18.75 inches long, and we are completely smitten with this little angel!  I'll share his story in the future on my blog, but for now, I want to post these remarkable photos that we had taken of our newborn when he was ten days old, plus a few from the hospital.







This was right after the nurses cleaned him following the Cesarian section delivery, my first time to hold my baby boy.  I was relieved to finally meet him, especially after a rough day, when we were told that he hadn't grown in two weeks when I went in to have an ultrasound, and was ordered to go to the hospital to have him within 24 hours since he was a likely candidate to be a stillborn if we had waited the eleven days until his induction date was scheduled.


We love our darling new son and thank God for his safe arrival into our home. Here we are just before leaving the hospital after being there from Monday until Friday, in our first family photo with the three of us.  Isaac is now three weeks old and weighs 6 pounds, 8 ounces, almost a full pound more than when he was born.

So glad he is here, safe and sound. I love his cute little smile in some of those pictures. He is indeed a miracle.
I still have to pinch myself to think that you got to give birth! You are so lucky!

Congratulations. I have an Isaac and he is graduating from high school in a week...he has been a joy to raise. You probably know the name means "to laugh"...and he has always found a reason to.

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
