2010 happenings



So, its post holidays, rolling into a semi-regular schedule, & we're still keeping busy. Sophie is excited to be back at Preschool Tuesdays & Thursdays. She is the most talkative after school! She also got a "big girl bed," given to her by a friend at church. She picked out "Hello Kitty" bedding, & Justin & Lauren couldn't believe a little girl could be more excited or happy!

Justin just started his new job with CM consulting, & he's very excited about the new work. The company is taking Justin & Lauren out to a fancy restaurant this weekend, & we're pretty excited to have some amazing food & get all dolled up. Justin had to take a break from his new job for a couple days to have surgery on his broken finger that he's had for about a year now. He was pretty out of it, & he's back at physical therapy. In the words of Justin in reference to his hand therapist, "If Mary weren't such a nice lady, I'd hate her!" The Physical Therapist Assist. in Lauren just smiled. :) Who knew surgery on one finger could do so much damage! It's a good excuse for him to not change diapers.

Ryan is 3 months old and growing like a weed in size & personality. He LOVES to interact with people, complaining when he's been alone for too long. We're also working on him being abel to fall asleep by himself (that's our biggest challenge right now). Lauren (being in the church Young Women's presidency) took him to "mutual night" with the youth, & he had a ball watching, listening, & talking to the kids around him. He sure is a charming little fellow! Sophie loves to read to Ryan, as you can see in the picture above, & he sure loves it too. Here's some tummy time pics. I guess he should be starting to roll soon, but he shows more desire to sit up. I guess we should practice more...second child syndrome, perhaps?

Oh, how the adventures & changed never end!
