Well I figured it was time to update our blog. Life has been busy and we are starting to feel settled in. We are enjoying our new house, but I still feel like I am on vacation everytime I go somewhere. It still hasn't sunk in that we live here now.
JD is really enjoying his new job. He loves the people he works with and is excited about the change. He says he is really going to enjoy the new things he is learning. I say he better because I am don't want to move again for a very very long time.
I am finally glad to have our life in order. I have spent hours on the phone and computer getting everything together from insurance to bank accounts to buying a van. It is so nice to have a car of my own. It took us sometime to find and buy a van and JD's sister was kind enough to trade us her Pilot for our car so we could get around with our whole family. Not a very fair trade THANKS LISA!
Sydney started school right after we got here and has done very very well she loves school, her teacher and her new friends. She is so excited to be a "walker" and insists on walking home alone. Good thing we live close and there are a TON of kids that walk home at the same time. It has come in kind of handy too so I don't have to truck all of the kids up the street to pick her up. She is so mature and such a big helper, she has made the school trasition easy on both of us. O yea and she turned 7 on the 1st she again got a bike for her birthday maybe this summer we will be able to ride it since every other summer its been packed up or we have been gone.
Jenna is Jenna what more can I say. I love her to pieces! We were laughing the other day because some of the kids were walking around with there hands in ther pockets and Jenna was doing it it too and JD had to tell her she couldn't because she wouldn't be able to catch her self when she falls. Poor thing, maybe one of these days she will be able to keep her balance. She loves being by her cousins and has made a new freind across the street who has a castle for a bed and Jenna thinks it is the neatest thing ever. She did have a break down today and said she wanted to go back to Canada. She misses her friends and her old house. We all miss Canada.
Rachel has grown us so much to me. She talks so well but she is so tiny its sometimes hard to tell how old she is. We are working on learning her colors which can be very funny because she usually guesses but she is getting better! Her and Jenna are becoming good friends and play very well together.
J is growing so much he is already out of his 0-3 month clothes and he is bearly 2 months it won't be long till he passes Rachel in weight. I love him so much; he is a pretty good baby. We are working on sleeping through the night maybe one of these days I will get him on a schedule were things can be a bit more routine. He is getting used to his sisters. Today Rachel was talking to him and he was talking back. It was so cute she was telling him they were going to be friends. He is starting to smile and coo I love this age. We had his blessing last Sunday he looked handsome and we were glad to have most to all of our family here but were really missing our Canadian family. We didnt get many pictures taken with trying to be the the hosts of 60 people but I will post his blessing pictures when I get them taken.
Well that is the low down on us. Everyone is sick right now but J and I and we are hoping to keep it that way. We have been cooped up in the house and hope everyone gets healthy very very soon. I will try to be better about updating our blog.
