Andrew Cooper Sorensen

My Little Man!

5 December 2010 is the day I became a grandma!  It seems strange that a year has gone by since then, and I still am amazed that I have a little guy living in Alabama that has a hold of my heart.  Megan and Trevor are wonderful parents.  I remember watching them together that first night they brought Andrew home with them.  They tag-teamed and helped each other, and Trevor was concerned for Megan's health and recovery.  It was a sweet experience!  The Lord knew what he was doing when he put families together.

Elder Jason Davey is coming home!

 Elder Davey has been in Argentina for the past two years serving the Lord.  He will be coming home on December 20th.  We are sooooo excited to see him again and catch up with all the work he has been doing.

Mallory's Room

The first picture is where the bullseye used to be.  Second is straight on of the closet of course, and the third is of the shelves obviously.  The fourth is where her new shelves and black blackout curtains help Mallory to sleep until noon!

Week w/ Megan and Trevor

It was great seeing Megan and Trevor again!  Her belly looks so cute, and the little one kicked quite often.  He's very active!  Hope they enjoy their student teaching and new job respectively, not to mention settling in to their new apartment in Springville.

Madeline Kaye (Chuck)

Madeline just turned 15, but is focusing on December.  She will be able to take her permit test and start driving!  She just started JV volleyball which is the only sport she really likes to play.  She does, however, enjoy watching and following football and basketball.  She likes the Jets and Mark Sanchez, and she likes the Spurs from San Antonio.  She has thrown around the idea of baking and catering, floral, and just being a mom for careers.  She might be able to juggle a couple of those things.  She is a great baker!!  Cookies, cake, cupcakes, or anything she might see on the internet or cookbook.  Maddie has a boyfriend named Octavio, and they like to tease each other with basketball games and such.

Mallory Kristine (Mory)

Mallory is now a senior @ Gridley High School.  She just took her senior pictures, made some senior shirts w/girlfriends, and helped w/freshman orientation.  Volleyball is something she loves doing, especially blocking or spiking the ball back into someone's face.  She has a part-time job @ Cool Hand Luke's (a steakhouse in Yuba City).  She is very friendly and loves people.  Her and Taylor have been dating for 1 1/2 years now.  They laugh and have a great time with each other.  Mallory's dream is to go to New York and start a dog grooming/walking business. 

Melisse Anne (MaNeece)

Melisse is 20 years old and a graduate of Paul Mitchell.  She enjoys doing hair, but is thinking about getting a degree in nursing too.  She also enjoys rides to emergency rooms.  Over the last two years, she has been driven numerous times for as many reasons to doctor visits.  The latest happened when she fell on some slippery rocks and bruised her knee.  This was a little over a week ago, and she is still on crutches.  Fingers crossed she won't need surgery!  This doesn't keep her from her busy social life though.  She still tries to keep up with visiting, driving, and doing hair anyway.  What a tough girl!!!
