We are the Grandparents of TWINS

Pheobe Jade and Pfischer Lee Outler

to Mitch and Pam Carnline
Born October 26, 2011

Pheobe was born at 2:02am, weighing in at 4.9 and 18 inches long

Pfischer was born at 2:03am, weighing in at 4.9 and 18 inches long

They are 7 weeks early, but doing great.

Here is Pfischer with daddy's hand to show how small he is.

Mitch got to change his diaper on this first day.

Phoebe holding daddy's hand. Day One.

Grandma gets to hold little Pfischer. He loved being held.

The CPAP (hose on the nose)(pronounced see-pap) has been removed.

Then Grandma switched over to hold little Phoebe. She took a minute to calm down because we took her from mommy.

The following are just some random pictures that I really liked

There are many many more pictures on FaceBook!

Lily seeing Pfischer for the first time.

Lily was the only child allowed to go in to see the babies.

Phoebe in Grandma's arms.

Pfischer under the bili lite.

That was hard to watch because they didn't like being uncovered on their backs.

Lily, Abby, and Ricky walking through the hospital. They had to stop and see the bear.

Pfischer, so peaceful as mommy holds him.

So tiny.

NICU pronounced nick-you

Pfischer's bed is to the left and Phoebe sleeps in a bed on the other side of the nurse.

Uncle Chris was visiting for the first time.

When they are competely off all the tubes they can be put together in a larger bed.

Pam cannot wait until they are able to hold them both at the same time, and put them side by side.

Big brother, Ricky, waiting on the other side of the NICU door. Waiting, like the rest of us, for those babies to come home.

TALL Missionary Tales

Hayden is serving in the Washington DC South Mission. He is having some great spiritual experiences as well as some fun adventures on our nation's capitol.

Just another day of tracting.

Washington Monument

Lincoln  Monument

Lord's Monument

Well, more than a monument!

 Washington DC Temple

Highway to Heaven!?!

Sight of the Washington DC Temple as they were driving toward it on the freeway. Hayden said it was pretty impressive.

Hayden and his companion were able to attend the temple with a family that his companion baptised 18 months ago.

From Hayden's letter, "It was such a great experience to be able to witness a temple sealing. It made me realize, even more, the importance of being sealed together as a family. While I was in the sealing room I was thinking about dad being able to attend a sealing at the DC temple. I wonder if we were in the same sealing room that he was in! Who knows?

"I think my favorite part was when they let the kids in and they were all kneeling together. They looked so happy. They all stared into each others eyes and smiled the whole time. You could tell that they loved each other and that they were seeing each other, not just for time, but for all eternity."

 [As a side note: Many years ago Brian served in the North Carolina Greensboro Mission. A couple he had baptized were being sealed at the same time that Brian was scheduled to go home. Brian had permission to attend the DC temple with them on his way home from his mission. However, the session and travel time took longer than expected, so he missed his flight home to Spokane and had to call his mom and tell her he would be home the next day.]

Hayden and his companion decided to take a "shortcut". Oops!

This is what it looks like when a bunch of missionaries go to a Major League Baseball game.

Sorry, I do not know who was playing.

Late for an appointment?

Hayden said the train was moving.

I think the tracks are close to where they live.

Resting on the railroad tracks.

Oh my, another picture near a moving train!

Kind of a neat picture on the tracks. Prompts this mother to say, "ok, cool pictures, now...back to work!"

Hayden's photos show his fun adventures; his emails tell of his growth and spiritual experiences.

VILLA

Welcome to my new home! It is sort of like a dream, as I am seeing it through pictures. The following pictures will show some of the rooms in our four bedroom villa in Al Khobar Saudi Arabia. Brian is moving in this week, as soon as he gets bedding, towels, and a few kitchen supplies.

Here is the family room. The door goes out to the garage. Behind the photographer (Brian) is the entry. A TV will be provided in what is called a "soft pack".

Living room and dining room viewed from the entry. So the family room, above, is to the left and the runner carpet divides the two rooms.

The kitchen is designed with a more modern flair, I suppose.

The laundry room has a new washer and dryer and a nice large sink. I think I will put a folding table at the oposite wall from the washer and dryer. The room is nice and large.

The master bedroom is pretty big. There are mirrored closets across from the foot of the bed. You can barely see, at the far right, a hall to the master bath.

Master bedroom hall with mirrored closets on both sides and the master bath at the end. The bathroom has a tub with a shower in it and a seperate shower stall, all marble. Brian did not get a picture.

I chose this picture of one of the bedrooms because it shows the mirrored closet and the rest of the bedroom all in one. Notice in the bedrooms that the carpet is edged by marble at the walls. The kids have already mentioned that they will not be able to wrestle in there because they may crack their heads open. "sigh"!

This bedroom has twin beds. It also has mirrored closets. The fourth bedroom has a king or queen size bed and its own bath. There is a main bath in the upstairs foyer. All the bedrooms are upstairs.

Upstairs foyer. I do not know where the staircase is to go downstairs, but the stairs that go up just go to the roof and the airconditioning and electrical systems.
