Parley William Thornock
The newest little guy. Stats: 7 lbs 7 oz, 19.5 in, born on July 6 at 8:54 a.m. He's named after Parley P. Pratt and Parley Belnap, a retired professor of organ at BYU and an exemplary man - and a good friend. William is Grandpa Thornock's middle name. We'd never have guessed we'd get THREE boys in a row! And all born on a Sunday! (We've missed church for each of them.) Big sister has a lot of rough-n-tumble she'll have to deal with now. But she looks happy.
The boys quite like him too:
He had jaundice, just like two of our others, so we've had him on a bilibed for a few days. It was a miserable first night on that bed, but I think I'm used to the bright blue glow in the room now.
Hopefully today's test results will get him off the bed! Meanwhile, he's a sweet, sleepy, perfectly formed little guy. Everyone took to him quite well, including Kimball, our latest baby. He loves little "Parwee!"
Meanwhile, we have a new house to show off, with a tour by Enoch and Kimball:
The kitchen: a bit tight, but we have lots - TONS - of pantry space, so we should be fine for a while. The table is a scratch-n-dent, our first table upgrade since the $8 D.I. special 8 years ago.
The laundry room!!! For the size of our home, this was quite a pleasant surprise.

The play area, adjoining the dining and kitchen. Rather bare in furnishings, but at least one person can get comfy!

The living room just off the entry. Needless to say, not getting a lot of use right now!
Enoch in the study (one of the four bedrooms), with the desk Dad - er, Santa - made me when I was a kid.
The laundry room!!! For the size of our home, this was quite a pleasant surprise.
And finally, the yard/garden/back patio. Looks like we'll have lots of milkweed and thistle salad this summer...
But we quite like it. It's home for now, and hopefully for quite a while to come.

Wow, your house looks so nice! There's so much room and it all looks updated. I love it! Parley is so sweet. I think it's neat that you guys named him after Parley P. Pratt and the organ professor at BYU. It's always more special when you have someone you've named them after. If we have any boys, we've thought about Dean Michael for obvious reasons, but we're not sure yet. Anyway, I hope you keep updating the blog, but if not, it was fun to see all the pics from this one. We miss you guys!

How cool! I guess we should get on the band wagon and start a blog, but right now time is a prime commodity. The house looks great but that little baby boy--my, what fine missionaries you'll have (can't guess what's on my mind, can you?) Wish we could be there to cuddle and coo, but you'll just have to do lots of it for me.
love, Mom T.
