More Schwimming …
This boy just loves the water … he is a fish, just like his mother.

Braden and his Momma
Braden absolutely is in love with Morgan. He could be fussy and crying anywhere and then he’ll see or hear Morgan and instantly turn his head at her and “light up”. His smile will become huge and you can tell there is no one in the world like his mom. I absolutely love it. Morgan is a wonderful mother and wife and God has blessed me beyond belief with her.
Timmons Farewell
Saturday was sad day for Morgan and myself (Roxy also, who will miss her boyfriend Sammy). Some of our best friends here in Boise, Luke and Stephanie Timmons, are moving to California. Saturday was their going away party.
They have been an inspiration to Morgan and myself in how to live a Christian marriage with devotion to one another. There is such a compassion in their lives for friends and family. I obviously spoke about personal issues more with Luke but I’m sure Steph is the same way: never judging, just listening and giving sound, biblical advice and counsel (with the random rant about cars, tires and Jordan in between). I’ll miss our Wednesday mornings at the “bagel place”.
I still look forward to dominating Luke in Fantasy Sports for many years to come. Hopefully his new job keeps him busy so he won’t have the time to do “research” and be the first on the waiver wire.
Timmonsiiii - We look forward to visiting you guys in LA and can’t wait to hit the slots and black-jack in Reno! Our prayers will always be with you and your new/old lives in California. We selfishly hope you move back soon.

India Photos and a Video
Well, here I am on my last day here in Bangalore, India after a week and a half. It has been quite a trip. I had a great time and met some great people but it was EXTREMELY hard being away from my family and I can’t wait to be home with them again.
I’ll write again soon about my actual trip and about the crazy traffic and driving, but for now I’ll link to some photos I took and a video …
The photoset is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kmturner/sets/72157604143468920/
You can get a small feel for the traffic in this video.
The First Month

Well, my baby is now almost 5 weeks old! Can you believe it?! The time has really flown by, so yes, the cliche is correct, time really does fly when you are having fun. Or maybe it’s due to the lack of sleep?! Overall it has been emotional, exhausting, frustrating, overwhelming, fun, and most of all so full of love it’s almost unbelievable. Braden is a happy alert baby that is pretty easy. He is a good sleeper and eater. He has strong lungs which he sometimes likes to show us at very unpleasant hours in the morning. I really enjoying being a mom and Kevin is a super proud daddy.
At his 2 week doctors appointment Braden weighed 8 lbs. 2oz. and was 21.5 inches long. So he’s a healthy, growing boy. We don’t go back in till the beginning of April, so don’t know the current stats but he’s starting to fill out his outfits better and he’s growing into a handsome young man!
I’ll post more often now that I’m getting more sleep and feel like I can function as a human being now! We also will have more pictures on flickr so check them out and leave comments on my super cute little guy!
He has such strong legs!
Isn’t he the cutest and smartest little boy you have ever seen! (I’m just slightly biased, can you tell!)

Guitar Heroes
One of the Christmas presents I received from my parents was Guitar Hero III for the Xbox 360. I had NO IDEA how much I would be addicted to this game, but alas, I am. The bonus is that Morgan even enjoys playing the game. One problem I need to watch is to not play the songs too much as that really annoys Morgan and might make it so that she won’t play anymore. My goal is to get Morgan to love video games …. 
Uncle & Aunt Turner
Morgan and I are now proud to be called a new name, no, not mom and dad yet, but Aunt and Uncle. My brother and his wife are now proud parents to a beautiful baby boy. Liam Richard Turner was born on January 8th at 1:51AM. He was 8lbs 1oz and 21.5 inches long. Morgan, myself and my parents were privileged to be in the hospital during his birth and were able to see him about half an hour later.
Thanks Brian and Eryn for such a beautiful boy.
