The most exciting thing that he is doing right now is teaching a class at Salt Lake Community College. He is teaching a Human Biology course Tuesdays and Thursdays evenings. We are thrilled with this opportunity to get a foot in the door with the college. Teaching his 'own' class will be great on a resume, and he is using his degree. He is also going to be subbing a few times at the BYU Salt Lake Center, teaching General Biology (another foot in a door), and he got approved to work part-time at BYU with on of his Professors. He has been a busy boy and we miss him around here.
The girls and I just hang out at home most of the time. They are crazy, fun and smart little stinkers. They definitely keep me busy and for the most part I'm maintaining my sanity.
Chloe is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY...it's unreal how many things she can get into in one day. I thought that my house was fairly child proof, she is proving me wrong. She climbs and wriggles her way into places I would have never thought she could get to. Maggie seems to be getting a little easier these days, but maybe Chloe is just so hard right now that it makes Maggie seem better (just kidding). Maggie is growing up quickly, she blows me away with the things she says and what she remembers. Both the girls have fun little personalities....I kind of like 'em.
Here are a few recent pictures of the girls for your viewing pleasure.
Bath time is a favourite time in our house. The girls LOVE it and I love that they are easy to contain while they are in the tub.
She loves corn, she ate 2 1/2 cobs that day. Being from Taber, this makes me very proud :)
(I'm missing Cornfest this weekend...sniff, sniff)
PIGGIES
It's hard for me to get her to sit still for very long, so I was exciting to get her hair done.
It lasted a little while, until she decided to pull them out.
Maggie calls Oreos 'black cookies'...Chloe calls them 'delicious'! (I call them messy)
I just took this picture a minute ago, it's so funny.
Chloe has not been good at going to sleep on her own, I still have to rock her to sleep most of the time. She is finally starting to get better at it.
After I put her down I could hear her playing in her crib for a while, when things were quiet I peeked in to check on her....this is what I found.
I guess I can't put her down without something over her diaper anymore.
I'm just mostly proud of her for going to sleep on her own :)
We are all happy and healthy. We're hoping that Dave will be able to find something full-time and permanent, but we are headed in the right direction.
That last picture is so funny. I love it when babies sleep with their bums in the air. Its even more cute when it is a naked bum... ha ha ha. do you think you guys will stay in Utah? if yes then will you stay in Utah county? I am jealous you are finally done with school. we are still going strong!
ReplyDeleteHA ha. I was going to say the same thing as Leah. Too cute.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited that Dave already has a good foot in the door to a couple of places where he can use his degree already. That is definitely a blessing.
P.S. Now you've got me wanting some Taber corn!!! I can smell it in my head. I'm off to the kitchen in search of something to eat. ; D
My oldest daughter used to take all her clothes off and her diaper alllll the time when she napped! I used to always expect to have to strip her bed and wash it everyday after nap time. I am glad to see other children do it too!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job hunting.
ANd don't be too sad, I live close enough to Taber and I miss the cornfest almost every year...But I get to eat lot's of corn so that makes up for it!! ;)
I think moms are given bath time as a blessing for all their sacrifice. They truly are sanity savers:)
