I was six days overdue when I finally started having real labor contractions at 2 AM on Thursday morning. My daughter was born 19 hours later. Everything went very well except for my rather dramatic tear. We came home on Saturday, October 5, and we were very happy to have so much family come to visit and help out.

Eldridge Greaves
Brother Elridge Greaves of Cornwall, Ontario was the first African-Canadian to receive the priesthood. Reg, as his friends call him, joined the Church with the knowledge that he would be unable to hold the priesthood, but he was a man of great faith and remains an inspiration to the members of the Cornwall Ward, where he resides.

My pet ferret Natasha
Natasha is a ferret
Natasha is a really cute ferret we bought at a pet store. She is lovable and sweet, and she prefers to be running, except when she's asleep. She is named Natahsa, because we thought that well with her littermate, Boris. She has two very dark, round eyes and a cute, furry tail.
Natasha lives in Oregon, in an apartment with us. She is very quiet and likes to scurry about at top speed and hide in the kitchen cabinets. Her active nature keeps us entertained, especially when we look for her.
Natasha likes to hide in the furniture and steal things left on the floor. She doesn't answers to her name, but we love her just the same.
Dislikes:
