Little Girls

Feels like it's been a while since we posted last. Not much happened this last couple of weeks of note; just the usually things. Go to school, change dirty diapers, play with blocks; you know, the usual. Natalie has started preschool this last week and is loving it. We are doing a co-op preschool with four other kids. The moms take turns every week teaching and hosting at their house. So far it's been a raging success. It's nice for Natalie to get out of the house and experience other kids and other people besides mom. She's a great little girl with an active imagination and developing artistic skills. And this girl loves ice cream and chocolate like nobodies business.

Emily is growing like a weed and weighs twenty pounds (though it feels like more) She starting to pull herself up on the couch, the bed, dad's leg, and pretty much anything else she can grab onto. She especially likes the couch (see video at bottom) but eventually gets too excited and falls over backwards. She is a real go getter and is one determined little bear cub. She's eating her cereal better now; only half the cereal oozes out of the side of her mouth now. And whenever someone asks about where her red hair comes from and we give the scientific explanation, we are usually met with strangely blank stares and confused looks. You can't win.

Mom and dad are busy all the time these days. With school for dad and entertaining the girls all day long for mom, there's not enough time in the day to get everything done. Dad is the 11year old scout leader, and mom is still teaching the primary class. Dad stays busy with schoolwork and working on illustration projects that we have been blessed with.

So we really can't complain. It's warm outside, the beach is 20 min away, our girls are beautiful, BYU is kicking booty, and the Church is still true. Life is good.
