Season's Greetings!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
FROM STRIDER, JANA & GRAYSON

We had pictures taken this weekend by Strider's sister Mindy (Check her stuff out on www.snapmagicphotoz.blogspot.com). She did an awesome job and we got some cute newborn photos of Grayson. He is 3 weeks old and growing up so fast! We sure do love him. He is lots of fun and continues to enjoy his routine of eating and sleeping lots.

Guess Who?





Our new addition has finally arrived. After about 6 hours of labor (and no epidural) Grayson was born on November 23 at 3:08 in the morning. Jana was really a trooper and did awesome and he is doing great as well. He was 6 lbs and 7 oz We are so excited to have the new addition. Here are some pictures and I am sure Jana will add more details later.

Med School Interviews

Strider has been busy this month with work, school and med school applications and interviews. I am so proud of him... His determination and diligence to this lifelong pursuit to become a doctor is so amazing to me! I went down with him this past Tuesday for his UofA Tucson interview (which went well) and today he had his UofA Phoenix Interview. Here are some photos that show his pure excitement to get his picture taken before he left...



Moving: Take 2

Strider and I finally moved to our new place on ASU's East Campus. Thanks to all those who helped make it possible. We now live in West Desert Village and here are a few pictures of the place so far...

School is Here...

It has been forever and I thought I might as well give ya'll an update on the Farnsworth Fam...


Strider and I officially began school this semester at ASU East. Strider is finishing up his last exercise and wellness major classes. He will do an internship in the spring and will graduate then as well. YEAH! I am so happy for him. He is currently working at Walgreens as a Pharmacy Tech. He sports a shirt and tie to work along with a cute little white vest. :) He is so handsome!

On the other hand, I am a little behind, but am still taking my major (Physical Education) classes this semester. My classes require me to play and perform a lot of activities. Boy can that be difficult when you're 7 months pregnant! I love every minute though and my teachers and classmates are sure careful about it. Strider stresses that I might need to be a little more careful though. Yikes! It is sure hard to tie me down when it comes to sports. I am also working a few hours on the side at ALOHA Aquatic Center. I have a blast teaching indoor swim lessons.


We are still currently living with the Pittam's and loving every minute! Don't know if it is quite the same for them, but we sure do love 'em and appreciate all that they have done and do for us. (Hopefully, Kayla doesn't mind too much having a teasing older brother back at home). My parents have also been nice enough to store some of our stuff at their house too! PARENTS ARE THE BEST!


As my due date approaches... Strider continues to laugh and ask for a profile view to see how much my belly has grown. We call our baby boy... "Little G" because we have two G names in mind (for now). This little guy is going to be SO spoiled. We are set and then some. I so appreciate all of the helpful hints, ideas and gifts everyone has shared for our new little one. Truly what a blessing friends and family are... I cannot express my thanks enough!


Well, I think that is enough of an update. More info. and pictures to come though... Move Take 2 will be coming soon! Strider and I can move all of our scattered junk to our new ASU East apartment the beginning of October.
