The long delay is finally over! The Sprungwell family is posting their first pictures since Month 1! I apologize that we will have to start a bit slow with only four pictures. But, we'll give you a quick update of our lives. We are having a fabulous adventure in Utah. Mike has settled into his daily commute to the University of Utah - makes him feel like he has a real job! He's making great strides in his writing and truly enjoying it. I fell into two adjunct teaching positions - an ESL writing course (with predominantly Korean students which is lots of fun) and an evening, community ESL grammar/speaking course (with adult students from all over Latin America). It has allowed me to keep teaching very part time while spending most of my time with the precious 8-month old below. Brian is amazing - he lets us drag him on 4 hour hikes and 2 hour walks in the stroller - usually with hardly a whimper. I think he, like his mom, loves to be outdoors. He smiles, laughs, talks and yells about everything exciting in life - which for him is just about everything. He never stops moving, crawling, lifting himself onto and over furniture, with numerous bursts of energy like his Grandpa Tom each day. The only fussiness occurs at breakfast and dinner - he gets anxious and impatient, bangs on the table and yells, grabs his spoon and throws it. We're hoping it's just a phrase. I'm thinking it may be the Stockwell/Maercklein obsession with food already taking hold!
Here he is - mess-maker extraordinaire!

Oh, but he sure cleans up well, doesn't he! What an adorable outfit from Jan & Steve Magyar - thank you, Jan & Steve!
Mike and I take a hike every weekend - this is us toward the end of the 80+ weather (it went below freezing this week!!)
Doesn't Brian look like a natural hiker!?!
He loves his backpack - thanks Cooper family!!
