           It’s a BOY!!!  We got our ultrasound on Monday, March 13th.  Our little son is looking healthy and was squirming all over the place.  We posted some sweet pictures on the Baby Jack page, so make sure to check out his cuteness.  We also posted stuff we got for our baby.  Emily painted our baby room yellow and are improving the lighting.  Our little guy will have such a sweet pad!  We just need some know-how and we’ll be all set to go! 

           Emily is getting more involved with a community group that is helping to combat moral dilemmas in our society.  She is helping get some lessons prepared that will be delivered to relief societies in a few stakes.  They are getting good work done and hope to have six lessons that will help educate families about the dangers out there.

           We are also getting ready for Darrell and Karen coming up this weekend.  We have some fun things planned for spring break.  We have some great friends for them to meet and some sweet games to play.  There is also the sweet scenery and some other places that will be fun to see.

           Emily has updated the Baby Jack page, so make sure to check out her expanded belly!  We are planning on doing the ultrasound on March 13th.  We should find out then if Baby Jack will be a he or a she.

           For the next 13 weeks Loren will be preceptoring in Pediatric Gastroenterology.  Preceptorships are part of a required course at OHSU where students become involved in taking a history and physical with real patients under supervision of teaching physicians.  Although we students do not actually diagnose or treat anything, we are learning vitally important skills that help improve problem solving and bedside manner.

           Spring is in the air.  The sunny days seem to be coming more and more frequently.  Emily enjoys taking walks to our local park.  She had developed a passion for Zuma (see yahoo games under funlinks), although Karen remains the indisputable reigning champion. :o)

           We are pleased to announce the publication of the Oregon Jacks family website.  We hope to post pictures of the activities we are involved in for our family and friends.  We invite any and all additions that you would like to make.  We would like to have fun links to other enjoyable websites that you find amusing or otherwise worthwhile.  If you would like us to put up your pictures somewhere on the site, just let us know.  We would also like to post fun and interesting things that our extended family members are doing, so keep us updated!
