Singing to Logan
In preparing Adrienne for her baby brother, I would ask her to sing to him in my tummy. When it came close to my delivery date I would talk to her about bringing him home from the hospital and about her singing to him when we brought him home. This was her first time and by far the sweetest. Since then her singing is much louder and more creative (she makes up her own words).
Baby Logan
Our little Logan Michael Howard was born April 10th at 3:24 pm, weighing 7lbs 10oz and 19 1/2 inches long. His big sister Adrienne loves him to death. The first week we brought him home she wanted to hold and kiss him all the time, but had a rough week thinking she was starved for attention, but now she just insists on sharing our lap with him so she can hold him too and make sure she still gets her snuggle time.

Oklahoma Highlights
We are partially back to Utah now. Michael's manager needed him back here asap, so we packed up two cars worth, packed the rest into the garage, and headed out to Michael's parents basement until we can sell our house and buy one here. We are excited to be back near family but it was very hard to leave our ward and friends in Ardmore. Here are some highlights from our year in Oklahoma!
The only snow of the winter, in January. We miss you First Home, wish we could have hauled you out here.

Little reader
When Adrienne looks at her picture books she is usually quiet unless she sees favorite items (choo choo, ball, bikasill (bicycle), etc.). But if she picks up any other kind of reading material she reads it.

Tornado
As many of you may have heard, tornado season came early this year here in Oklahoma. These pictures are of the destruction in Lone Grove, which is about five miles west of our home in Ardmore. This tornado killed eight people in a trailer park and one truck driver as it crossed the freeway just north of Ardmore. On Saturday our stake organized the "Mormon Helping Hands" group to help with the cleanup. Michael spent most of the morning picking up debris from some fields so that it will be safe to put the cattle back in them. Michael's parents were visiting for the week and got to experience a little more of Oklahoma than they wanted. That night we had just come home from dinner to celebrate Michael's 28th birthday. As soon as we got out of the car we heard our neighbor yelling across the street to another neighbor about a tornado, and then our siren went off and we went in the house to turn on the news. It was exciting at first to hear from the storm chaser on the news that it had touched down twenty miles south of us, and that it was going north at forty miles an hour, then to hear that it was going strait for Lone Grove made us realize that if it started to turn east it would be coming at us. My mother-in-law was not the least bit excited about any of this, especially realizing that we did not have a storm shelter yet! Relief mildly explains how we felt to hear that it was going straight north through Lone Grove, and crossing the freeway just north of our little town. All of our ward members were very lucky, some of their homes being missed by just yards, and the most damage done to any of their homes was just missing a few shingles.
