New Post!




Some of you may have noticed that it has been a while since we have updated our blog. You see, Katie, Sally and I have moved to a new apartment and we have decided to go without internet for the time being. The internet was included in our rent at the last place and it cost much less than it would if we had gotten it ourselves. Now with the prospect of shelling out an extra forty of fifty bucks a month, we decided that we could get by without having it.

I use the internet up on campus when I am at school, but I don't have any recent pictures loaded on my laptop, and I know that you all just want to see pictures of Sally, so I didn't feel the need to update the old blog. Katie would have done it, but she maybe gets on the internet once or twice a week now, and I'm usually rushing her out the door; so as you can see, the lack of updates is all my fault.

Anyway, Sally is getting really fun... when she isn't crying (we think that she might be teething right now, so she has two modes; "torqued off", and "asleep"). When she isn't throwing a fit, she likes to smile and laugh. Sometimes when I'm doing homework, I'll look up and Sally will be sitting there smiling at me for no apparent reason. I guess that means that she likes me... but maybe it means that she has gas... probably the latter.

Anyway, sometimes I can get her to laugh pretty good by doing stupid things, aka - being myself. If Katie is around she will usually grab the camera and try to record Sally's laughter. Often the camera will distract her and she will stop laughing, but Katie's been able to capture a couple of videos that we thought you all might enjoy.

So, that's really the point of this post. I finally loaded some videos and pictures onto my jump-drive so that I could upload them to the blog for your viewing pleasure.








Well, I hope that you enjoyed the update. I can't promise that I'll stay on top of updating this thing, so I hope that this will last you all a while.

Love,

- Martell

Looks like Martell's primary jumped for the Sunbeam song too. I thought every primary did that til I asked Andrew! Really cute videos and pictures! I agree that its hard to get them to keep them going when they see the camera, but it gets easier over time. Now our baby will bear all to the camera, so nice! :)

She has one cute little laugh there. And yes, my favorite video was the sunbeam one too. I used to sing it that way in primary too.

Love the videos! What a sweet little girl! I couldn't help but giggle when I heard her little laugh. It is contagious.

Ok, now that you've got the priorities of your viewers straight you can post pics of your Yellowstone trip.

Loved the laughter - David and I were laughing right along with Sally, keep singing!
