Updates - Finally!

Our Little Sweetie Pie

I am back from my blogging vacation. The truth is I just didn't have the time or motivation to post often. I've had other things to occupy my time lately that are just more important. But now I am back on the blogging train! You can rest easy now! :-)

All I can say is I am SO HAPPY that winter is almost over. I am not going to lie, the past three months have been a hard adjustment for me and our little family. Aside from work and church, I have been completely happy to just be in my house cave. My job is super easy but working is hard. Does that make any sense? Anyways, we are figuring out what works and what doesn't for us since I have gone back to working full-time. We've all had a few bouts with the sickies and hope those germs are behind us now. Taking care of a sick husband, sick child and sick self over the past two months on and off again is exhausting! So hip hip hooray for SPRING - almost!

Bethany is 15 and a half months old now. Wow! Bethany's big news is that she is a walking girl now(since early Feb)! She is ALL OVER the place rarely sitting down for long. She has her wobbles and bobbles but is getting faster and more agile each day. She climbs and is in to everything. Miss B loves to throw fits and tantrums now too! How fun for mommy and daddy. She is forming opinions on things left and right - which is a good thing I guess. Miss B is talking more and more & calls the book 'Moo, Blah, LaLaLa' her LaLaLa book. It is so cute. She makes animal sounds now all the time and sings (in her little way) Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.

Our Miss B is just so much fun! At church each Sunday she has decided that sacrament meeting is her social time, going from one family to another saying hi and walking in between the aisles. I will look behind us and some man or woman from church has her on their lap playing with her. Too funny. She has also turned into a serious cuddle baby, which none of us mind one bit!! Ahhh - life is good in Bethany's world and we are so blessed to have her in our family.

We had to find Miss B another babysitter about two weeks ago and things are working out for now. We hope that we can just get to summer when we'll be home with her all day! How much longer?

Our family is looking forward to a much need break and time off from work for SPRING BREAK! We are taking a short trip with Mama Leslie and Grand Pappy to Nauvoo, Carthage, Independence and Liberty to do a small church history tour. Ryan has never been before and we are all really excited to go!

Life is good! Stay tuned for updates more often from now on. I think.
