Morgantown McArthurs

Almost heaven, West Virginia is perfect place for us as we are supporting Douglass in his desire to become a dentist. The boys and I are actively learning and growing together. Doug is in his 2nd year of dental school at West Virginia University and is currently taking 31 credit hours. He does seem to squeeze in some time to do some of his favorite pass times like make knives and is almost done making an archery bow for hunting season which is coming up. He is currently serving as the Elders Quorum President as well. As far as my hobbies go, I love spending time going on walks with friends and their babies, planning dinner parties and baby showers, and I just got called to be compassionate service leader in our ward. Jaxon's most recent words with signs are "yes" and "no." This makes for some fun communication. Jax is getting really good at drop kicking the soccer ball and amazes us with his eye-foot and eye-hand coordination. Talon is genuinely a happy child and will smile at anything and anyone. He's a very long bodied boy and currently is off the charts in height. He was born big (9lbs. 8oz., 21") and is staying big.

We feel extremely blessed to be here in Morgantown, West Virginia. There are so many wonderful young families that are in dental school and other graduate programs that we frequently associate with. In my opinion, it doesn't matter where you live but who you surround yourself with that makes all the difference in life. How thankful we are for great friends, family, and each other.
