MAX has really entered a new phase this week and it's been wonderful! His vocabulary and ability to vocalize his words has totally exploded. He talks and says things all the time now that I never knew he had learned. He is such a smart cookie. We are entering the era of verbal communication...and I love it!
He eats at the dinner table in a booster chair next to Justin and eats his own plate of food (instead of eating on my lap and off my plate). Dinner time is so much more enjoyable for me not to mention a whole lot cleaner! AND he actually plays by himself or with Justin, not requiring my constant attention. Although it's nice to have the freedom to do other things, Justin and I always seem to find our selves where Max is...he is the life and spirit of our home. He is PURE JOY!
JUSTIN is simply amazing! He is really excelling in school, and together we have so much fun learning. I have been amazed at his ability to retain information and learn new concepts. He is SUCH a fun student! Justin now literally reads faster than I do! Justin is also getting ready to be baptised and has really grown up in the gospel. He has an incredible desire to choose the right. He has a kind heart and is such a good son, so helpful to me and absolutely amazing with Max. I can't imagine life without Justin, he is a gem, an inspiration and such a great example! He is getting SO BIG!
GEOFF is the busiest person I know. I honestly don't know how he does it. He has been doing a lot of consulting, which has meant a lot of time away from home-- and we all go crazy without him, but manage... barely. Between consulting for Standard Pacific, and managing his businesses..Firefly (advertising), Ridgeline (Design & construction), Treasure Valley Recyling (Bio Diesel), and Energy Savers (Green homebuilding supplies); performing his church duties (Scouts, organ & hometeaching) to the MANY things he does for us and with us as a family...I MARVEL!!!! He is diligent in all the important basics (prayer, scriptures, FHE, etc) and then makes time for fun. How does he do it????? We hope this new era for him slows down a bit or rather is simplified.
and ME..., well this truley is a new era for me...
Here we go! Child #5. We're all very excited and very hopeful to have a healthy MCAD free child--God willing. Either way, we know this child is waiting to come to our home, and we pray for him/her (and us!) every day. We are expecting this gift sometime around June 2nd to help celebrate Nanna's birthday!
