We told our families on Christmas, and we've started getting around to telling friends and acquaintances: Heather I are expecting. The new addition to our family should come sometime around August 1st. It's too early to tell what the gender of the baby is, but we're excited either way. It is quite sobering to think of our pending responsibilities in caring for someone who can't yet do anything on his own.
In the interim, we've decided to call the baby "Peanut." It isn't a name that we could use permanently, so we aren't afraid of it sticking, but at the same time, it's fun to refer to our new child by some kind of personal name, instead of just "it. The next few months are going to be pretty long, as we wait with anticipation for Peanut to come.

This, Hyrum, is awesome news! You will love having a baby. I think I e-mailed you recently with the update about our family as Anna Jeney was born on the 1st of this month. (If I didn't e-mail, I apologize, but you can check out some pictures and stuff on our blog.) The experience of having a pregnant wife around is also a lot of fun. You'll really enjoy getting ready for parenthood, I guarantee it. It's a really huge, massive responsibility, but it's worth it.
Hi! I don't know you, but I stumbled on your site while trying to find some Timpanogos information. I had to leave a comment! Beautiful hiking site!!! All those photos really make me miss Utah!!! My husband and I use to teach wilderness survival in an at-risk teen program down near Cedar City. 4 years and two kids later, it's been a long time since we've done any real mountain backpacking (we'd have to hire a couple Sherpa's to carry enough gear for two kids)! You're photos brought back a lot of memories! Fantastic site!!
[...] As one of our summer ideas this year, Heather and I wanted to go to Arches National Park in Southern Utah. After other plans fell through, this past weekend turned out to be the perfect time to go. The weather was a little warm, but not too hot, and we were both able to get Friday off of work. Plus, Heather’s pregnancy is not to the point which precludes us from doing active things. [...]
