Goodbye Megan!

Welcome to the Baker Family blog -- designed to keep us in touch and share the exciting adventures of our family.  Maybe we'll even share an occasional photo.

Lori and I spent the past few days in Idaho taking Megan to college.  Megan packed everything in a couple big boxes and some suitcases.  We bought a bunch of additional stuff once we got to Idaho.  Doug particularly enjoyed getting acquainted with the Dollar Tree store.  No questions about how much an item is -- only $1.  The best deal was getting a USB cable for (you guessed it) $1.  Walmart had the same thing for $12.  

Megan has a nice apartment with her own private bedroom, which she has appropriately decorated with a Texas flag on the wall.  Her roommates all seem real nice.  This will be a great experience for Megan, but we will miss not having her at home with us.  We surprised Megan with a BMW Z3 just before we left town.  I think she keeps it on the shelf in her room since it's only 3 inches long.

And now for Matt's quote of the week:  Today at stake conference, the stake president told all the primary children to listen carefully during his talk to find out what furlong means.  Halfway through the talk, Matt leaned over to me and asked,  "Dad, what's a fur ball?"
