Family Update

I try to update this weekly with the hope that I will someday get this compiled into a book. This really is the closest thing I have to an updated journal of all of our family happenings and the cute things my kids do and say. These past few weeks have been really quiet. We have had a lot of rain and have spent most of our time at home. I usually try to keep the kids busy, but have been feeling increasingly tired with this pregnancy. I assume the kids would rather have a happy mom at home than a frazzled one trying to play super-mom. That super-woman will return again soon I hope. In the meantime, I think quiet is okay. My kids love mealtimes, baths and toys and more than anything, love having my attention. I have been trying to enjoy the simplicities of our days and my children's funnies and quirks. Noelle has developed her imagination and can play for house for hours and Corom loves to tag along. It is fun to watch them interact, though Corom has a really high pitched screech when he gets frustrated. I have to learn how to tame it. Dan is coming out of a week of interning at the State Mental Hospital in Provo. He says it was quite eye-opening. I don't think this is the direction he will go, but a good opportunity nonetheless.He is back in school for 2 more weeks and then we will have him home for a month to prepare for the baby. (Wow-huh?) We are in search of a good baby boy name. I have searched high and low and haven't found anything that I want to name a child. HELP! If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to pass them our way! I'll try to post some pictures for the family. I am not very good at capturing these little guys who move so quickly.

Enjoy the quiet. You're right, all the kids need is a peaceful Mom. Kids are good at entertaining themselves and they need to do that. Can't wait to see you! Love, Mom
