The Poulton’s 2014
We are still located in Herndon, Virginia about 30 minutes
outside of Washington D.C. and are offering free room and board to anyone who
would like to come visit the Nation’s Capital, *some exclusions apply see fine print below.
Devin- Still doing the pest control thing, runs a non-profit
mechanic shop on the side, and is still happily serving large doses of sarcasm in the Young Men’s youth
group at church. He was able to dominate
the white tail deer this hunting season with two amazing kills. One massive doe at least twice as big as your average Labrador and a
buck that you would just have to see to believe how small its antlers were.
McKell- (It may be easier to list the things she has not
excelled at this year, but we won’t.)
Somehow she manages to single handedly raise our three crazy kids and still bake
homemade bread, provide service as a ward missionary, volunteer with our kids at
an elderly center which smells
surprisingly young and fresh, go to book club sometimes without
reading the entire book, and to Mom’s club activities. The amazing thing is that she does most of
these activities while herding three small children that according to their unbiased parents
are turning out all right.
Bridger (4yr)- Bridger has inherited his Great Grandpa
Poulton’s knack for rhyming by
making up his own new words. He
has unending energy and loves to tell jokes over and over and over and over again. He still has an outie belly button which the
doctors said would go away when he was one or two but Bridger has always been
pretty good about dragging things out.
He loves riding his bike and trying new tricks, like tire skids and one
handed steering. He’s also great at
hiding, which seems to be more of a problem now that we’ve moved out of our
town house and into a single family home.
Now that we have more than one hiding place this “game” can be quite
time consuming.
Myra (2yr)- Myra,
Myra, Myra. She is all girl and notices
things that are pretty. We call her “Sweet
Myra” to her face. She has so much spunk and a love for life. She is really good at making one-sided deals with us. Usually it goes something like, “Dad, here’s
the deal! You give me your phone and
then I will give it back to you. That’s
the deal! OK!” This year she has also
improved leaps and bounds and
falls on her balance bike. She
loves to do anything with Bridger and looks up to him in so many ways. She’s turning into quite the singer at church
and, as soon as she learns the words or how to read, will really add to the
spirit of our congregation.
Sawyer (6mo)- He is starting to be so much fun as this
Holiday Season approaches. He used to be
just smiles and poops and barfs
but now he is starting to be really fun.
He laughs, gives open mouth kisses, and tends to death grip anything he
can get his hands on, which is frequently someone’s hair or face. He can now sit up for brief periods of time and
is probably grateful for siblings to catch him when he falls when they are not the cause of his falls.
