Home Teaching is AWESOME

Why is home teaching so awesome you ask? I have one word for you:

CHOLESTEATOMA

That's right friends.... be jealous! One of our home teachers has no middle ear bones! I had been wanting to ask him about this ear since he was baptized at the begining of the year (not being the shy type you know...), but never got the chance until he became our home teacher. I also wanted to be polite and not create an awkward moment at church by asking, "so what's up with the cotton ball you sport in your ear??". (I can be nice) So when he came over last month, I popped the question. He was totally cool about it and even let me go get a flashlight and peruse a little in his head! Scott wasn't too excited about it, and neither was his companion, but I was! He also had some drainage and a small infection that I was able to see clearly because his ear canal is the same diameter as my thumb. Sweet, right?

The new news


Yes we speak pidgeon English in these parts. Since I'm not a fan of the "belly shots", I'll just tell you that the little man is due December 17th. You can understand why we didn't announce our news earlier. Everything is going well and there are no tumors, which is always a plus. In fact, Scott and I have nicknamed him the "tumor-nator", and this must be said with the Arnold accent. We would have put a picture of the ultrasound up, but being responsible parents, we lost it. (we=Ally;next time I'll remember that the Ensign is NOT a reliable place to store paperwork)
