DARWIN is on his 12th year of teaching, currently at Springville High School teaching astronomy, geology, environmental science, and physics. He also teaches physics at UVU for a 7 week STEM summer school program for junior high students. He also teaches teenagers in our church ward. He's super busy, but still makes time to be an awesome dad and husband.
March 16, 2016 - First Bath
It's become a tradition for Daddy to give our babies their first bath at home.
Talmage does't love bath time at this point.

He had an audience :)
Poor, angry baby!
He does okay with getting is head scrubbed though. Can't blame him! ;)
March 17, 2016 - St. Patrick's Day
I usually try to do something fun for the girls on St. Patrick's Day but I kind of dropped the ball this year. Granted, I've been pretty busy with a newborn! We did have green milk with our cereal, and the girls got to take a bath with green water too. That was about the extent of our St. Patrick's Day fun this year though.
March 18th and 19th, 2016 - First bottle and randoms
Daddy got to feed Talmage his first bottle!
He ate it like a champ!
The girls were excited to see him eating from a bottle :)
Savy decided it was her turn with the camera again.
An Easter egg rolled under a bench where Savy couldn't reach it. Funny that she took a picture of it :)
She took a picture of her favorite show right now: Little Einstein's.
Daddy made green waffles for breakfast in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
Savy selfie :)
Talmage does pretty well hanging out in the baby swing.
Love this little boy!
This was Rori snuggling Talmage during family scripture reading. So cozy!
My cute family reading scriptures together. I couldn't resist capturing this every day moment.
The next time Talmage had a bottle Aurora jumped at the opportunity to feed him. She was thrilled!
We had a new temple in our area dedicated. It was so great for us to get to watch the cultural celebration as a family the night before the dedication. The girls loved it! They especially loved dancing along with the music!
We all went to Kangaroo Zoo with some friends of ours to celebrate their daughter's birthday. It was the first time we had been there. The girls really enjoyed it!
March 20, 2016 - Footprint Tie
With each kid we have, I make a footprint tie for Darwin. I surprised him with Aurora's when she was a baby but he has helped me with the others. Darwin wears the kid's tie to work on their birthday and to church on the Sunday closest to their birthday. It's a fun tradition we have.
Our little black-footed baby :)
Finished product - It's tricky to get a wiggly little foot centered on a tie just right so it's not perfect, but it works!
And of course after having your foot slopped with black paint, you need to have a bath!
And then some snuggle time with your oldest sister.

And just for kicks, here are some pictures of our cute baby boy.
The flash was a little bright. Sorry kiddo!
This is one of my favorites :)
And this one too. I just can't get enough of our handsome little man!
He looks a little dramatic here. Maybe he'll be a good actor?
And we've started doing tummy time. He's not a fan so far.
I already feel like he's growing up too fast!
