Updates

It feels good to be able to post again! Our computer contracted a virus 2 weeks ago and crashed, so we have been without a working computer and internet for a while. I never realized how much I relied on our computer until we didn't have one!! We are using an old dinosaur (as Jack refers to it) until we can figure out what to do or fix our old computer. Here are a few highlights of our last 2 weeks: Lindsey FINALLY started walking right on the day she hit 17 months. I am not missing the scooting- she has holes in practically all of her pants because she wore through them. She also yells and shrieks all the time. Everyone who hears her comments that she has "found her voice." Um, she has done more than found her voice...she is flaunting her loud voice! My favorite time of day is when Lindsey starts "talking" at dinner and Jack gets mad and tells her to stop yelling by yelling himself. The two go at it for a while and I am deaf by the end of dinner.


I trained our summer camp instructors last weekend. It was a long weekend, but it was nice to use my brain for a few days. Clint had a good time with the kids and was much more appreciate of all that I do when I returned home!


On Saturday we went to the zoo. Lindsey loved walking around on her own, Jack loved the new flamingo exhibit, and Clint & I were entertained by the mating sloth bears.




Sunday was probably our hardest Sunday yet. The kids were wild and crazy (1:00 church is NOT my favorite!). Lindsey won't sit at all, so we spend the 2nd and 3rd hour walking around. 2 more weeks until nursery and then we will be breaking up fights between our 2 children in nursery (yes, they will both be in the same nursery for 6 months). We had dinner at my parents which was fun. We survived flinging food, several melt downs, an "accident" which explains Jack's unfortunate outfit in the following picture, and general chaos. I don't know why Sundays are so rough for us;I'm just glad we survived another one. Poor Clint commented that he thinks he is being cursed for only wanting 2 children. :)

Yea that she is walking-even though it makes life more exciting. I am sorry about the whole church thing-I feel your pain. Ryan does not do well in sacrament. I am sorry about your computer and hope that it gets fixed soon.

We have such a rough time with our 1pm church block schedule-its nap time and Logan is a pill. Last week was seriously the first time we got Logan to stay within the bench for the entire Sacrament. Typically we take the last row of chairs in the back so he can roam around and not bother anyone. I cannot believe how big Lindsay has gotten-time flies. I was also wondering where the picture of the mating sloths were? :)
There is nothing wrong with only wanting 2 kids-Paul will vouch for that.
