Neal + Kensington = Love

We named our daughter Kensington Laine Dewey. (It may or may not be a coincidence that those were, respectively, the first and second most popular names on our blog poll.) She and Liz came home from the hospital today around 11:30 AM. So far, Kensington has been the ideal baby! She rarely cries, and even when she does it's the sweetest little cry. Here's a little video of Neal and Kensington taking a "nap" together in Mom and Dad's bed (Neal's idea).

About us

We just moved back to Utah after 4 amazing years in North Carolina. We miss it like crazy, especially all of our incredible friends who we feel so blessed to have had in our lives, and hope to continue to have in our lives, even if it is long distance!

Jonathan is working for a medical software company, using his M.D. in a nontraditional way that he loves! He also started a part-time Masters in Biomedical Informatics. Other than the fact that he carries a student ID for the University of Utah, we are grateful for this opportunity for him to further specialize his knowledge . . . and besides that, school is just too much fun to give up :)

Elizabeth is staying home with our 2 beautiful children. She still loves to do hair and waxing out of our house.

Neal is 3 and the sweetest child in the world! Although he changes into a different child when he is tired, he is such a true joy to be around. He inspires me with how hard he works to do the right thing when he's been corrected. He wants to be good and make us happy and proud. He also works so hard at learning to do things that he struggles with, and often repeats something his father taught him: "It's ok, we just try again!"

Kensington is about a year and a half old and is just amazing me with how she is learning and changing! Her personality is just exploding, and she LOVES to dance! Anytime she hears music, she dances - even the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Oh, how she brings joy to my heart! She has a feisty side to her that she has always had, but for the most part is a chill, independent, confident girl!

We are learning, growing, and working towards complete unity in our marriage, our family, our Heavenly Father, and our Savior, Jesus Christ. We seek after the ideal, this is where we find our joy! It is as Elizabeth's mother says: "Making mistakes, but never giving up."
