Times flies

I can't believe I haven't posted in sooo long! We had such fun over the holidays & can't believe 2008 has come & we are already several month into it.

Brian is in his 2nd to last semester at school & I - for a fact, can attest to the fact that he is soooooo ready to be done. My gig at Camp Fire didn't work out so he is still with Pizza Hut much to our dismay. We just keep reminding ourselves that in less than 8 months he can probably ditch them.

I (Sally) am enjoying being at home with the kids for the most part. I struggle with anxiety/depression so late last fall on got onto meds to help with that. Lucky for me - a little goes a long way. I am busy trying to keep expenses down, fulfill callings, & "homeschool" Nate. I currently serve on the Enrichment Board & as Ward Music Coordinator (fairly new to this one)

Nate is being terriffic or terrible - depending on the day or mom's mood. This morning he was trying to feed a stuffed animal some Fruit Loops - last night - not so cute - he ran off from me 3+ times at Target & each time it took a good bit to find him - sending mom into panic mode. He is learning & catching on to number really well- he often points out numbers as he sees them & can find "matches" of numbers around the house. Sharing is a little more difficult. He has helped make cookies several times in the last few month though & is great at pouring ingredients in. He will be 3 in April & once it gets a little warmer - we hope to start the adventures of potty training.

Rachel turned 1 in January & out of nowhere in December she finally decided to crawl & now she is all over the place. She loves to still be held a lot though. She hates to be left with anyone - esp if she can see mom or dad in view. She loves lots of different foods but bread, mac & cheese , & Kix are some of her favorites right now.

2008 has blessed us so much already - we have paid off our Honda with our income tax refund, seen a missionary leave from our family, gone on one family trip (to see missionary off) , experienced the joy of missionary work & we are reminded once more of the blessing of having the true gospel in our lives.
