Peck’s Post 2011

 It’s amazing how fast time flies ...when your having kids :)

Our oldest son Logan... just turned 8 and is getting baptized at the end of the week. This has been a big deal for our family. Logan has been talking about this day ever since he saw his cousins Ladaisa and Thatcher get baptized. We are excited to have so many family and friends attend his baptism and also stay for Christmas. What a special Christmas this year! Logan is doing great in wrestling. Michael, Lincoln, and Logan go faithfully to every practice. Michael loves to coach him and it’s so cute to me that the boys have their time to be boys. This year has been the year that I have to do a double take on Logan. One day he will look like a little 3 year old and then the next minute he looks like a teenager I really do wish that Life would slow down.

Lauryn... sure is my sweet heart. She loves kindergarten and is trying really hard in her speech. She prays often that her friends at school will  “understand her voice”. She’s really the sweetest thing and is always trying to do what is right. She’s my little angel that reminds me to be better every day. She loves to color and draw. Her and her best friend Chloe will color for hours never getting bored. She started dance this year and is loving it!

Lincoln... he is sure one of a kind. He is a smooth criminal and loves to dance to Michael Jackson. He cracks me up all the time. Even though he is the middle child there is no way he will get lost in the shuffle. He stands out above the rest with his comedy. I sure love that he has been my buddy this year. I love that he is home with me all day and I love hearing him talk story about his little action figure guys. He loves going to wrestling practice and all the wrestlers love when he is around.

Londyn... our baby is sure the spot light in everyone’s life. The kids love to wake her up in the morning with hugs and high pitch voices of “Good Morning, Londyn Leu” She’s the first person that the kids want to see when they come home from school. It’s really so precious to me how kind and cute the kids treat each other. Londyn loves to laugh. She is sporty and loves to play with her brothers and sister. She also loves her babies and will kiss them often. She’s our kisser that will come out of no where to kiss you and then walk away. Every day I thank Heavenly Father for her and that she came here healthy. So grateful she’s in our family.




Michael...is almost done with  residency this year! I can’t believe our 3 years will be up. He has had a great time here in NY and loves the program.  This year he is the Chief residence. It’s been fun for me to hear about all the stories that happen at work and I always walk away feeling grateful that Im a stay home mom. He is really is a great  leader among the residences and is confident in the skills that he has developed here. Im so grateful that he has found a profession that he enjoys and excels at.  I also feel like he is ready to move on to the next phase of his career and is excited to be his own boss. Every year I always say I don’t know how Michael does what he does. But he does. He seems to do a great job and work and then comes home and is so great with the kids and patient with his cranky prego wife. I love that he loves his family over everything and I love that he loves us so much.

and now it’s my turn...
Im desperate house wife doing my deal here in #608.  Life for me seems to be really simple here. Im just trying to keep life fun for my kids and Im trying to keep  the house clean. The kids are having fun. The house not so much. In the beginning of April we are expecting our 5th baby. We are all so excited about his arrival. We are going to name him Louiston .....(Louie) after his great grandpa Louie. Im so tickled about naming him Louie and hope that he turns out to be just like his great grandpa. I am also taking a Home School Photography Class. My friend Amanda is teaching me and two other moms photography and I am loving it. I am so excited to jump right into it when we leave and finally settle down. We really have loved our time here in NY. That week in February is hard to go thru with the cold and dark weather but other than that we’ve had a magical time here. Nothing too fancy but simple and great. Our family has gotten closer and united. We’ve gotten to know my cousin Jackie and her family well which has been the biggest blessing of living out here and it’s been really fun to visit all the sites too. We’ve ALMOST.. checked off everything our bucket list.

Well that’s about it...
I keep a weekly journal on line of our little lives. If you ever want to catch up with us thru out the year your welcome to check on us at....

Love,
The Peck Family
