We asked Bryce 2 years ago what he would think if we had another child. His eyes got real wide and for many months later he'd make comments like, "I just don't think I could take another kid in this house." or "It would drive me crazy!" I admit to similar feelings as well.
Nonetheless, Lisa felt prompted that we needed another child. After poking ourselves with a proverbial cattle prod, we pushed aside our misgivings and Marshall was born in March 2008.
This little boy has become our own Little Equalizer. He has brought our family together like we never dreamed. The kids ban together and take care of him, and, to this day, still stand in line to hold and play with him. He melts our hearts with a smile that lights up his entire face.
Two weeks ago we went to the Draper Temple open house. As we walked through the temple, I carried Marshall for part of the way. I noticed that every time we passed a picture of the Savior, he'd reach out his arm and point with his stubby little finger. He didn't do that with all the pictures, no, just the ones of Jesus. Such a darn cute boy. Our little equalizer.

My little boy will be 2 on March 9 - we LOVE him! Our son also pointed to every picture of Jesus and said "Zsheezush". Isn't it interesting that they can still pick out the Savior in a picture with several bearded men? Also, as we passed the font Jonah kept mooing really loud.
I love these little spirits. I just want to squish Marshall's face, he's so cute! By the way, I have a 14 year old for that young man in your ward. Please tell me he's tall!
He is a little Suisher! So cute. I feel the same way about my Emma. The boys always love on her. I am glad we had our little oops!
And a cute little common denominator he is! Like a campfire in the dark, they gather near to feel his warmth. Hope ya don't mind me sayin, Lance, but he's a BLAKE kid. I see Marsha shining out from his face--emanating from his soul?
