the latest...

Not sure if anyone still reads this, but I wanted to update for my own sake because I love reading old posts! We have officially lived in Indiana for 2 years now, and it's crazy to even think about. I have really enjoyed living here, it's definitely starting to feel more like home, but I still desperately miss Utah! Andy is working hard, traveling A LOT but is expected to get "promoted" here soon which will make all the hard work worth it! I am busy taking care of my kids, working part time still, and trying to find the balance between it all. I miss my friends, but am starting to find some really good ones here. Dallin started 1st grade this year! He goes all day, which has been good for both of us. He is still very active, loves playing with friends and has started his 4th year of soccer. He is still very bright, and we have loved watching him learn to read and write. He has really enjoyed spending time with Andy doing "guy" stuff now that he is old enough. He has a hearty appetite and is above average in height for his age. He LOVES his baby sister, and is a HUGE help around here when I need him! We are so proud of him! Claire started her first year of preschool and has loved it so far. She is my little gymnast, climbs everything and has unbelievable upper body strength. We are starting her in gymnastics next month and she is really looking forward to it. Claire has always been my "easy" kid, until recently. She turned 3 and has definitly been testing me lately. She has a hard time listening and wont take No for an answer. She is a girlie girl for sure, loves barbies and princesses and Dora! She has "crazy" hair, we call it! Every morning she wakes up with a rats nest in the back, and she has the finest hair ever. I keep is pretty short because it makes it look thicker. Poor girl, I hope it thickens up as she gets older! We love our little monkey! Delaney is 10 months tomorrow!!! She is so dang cute. She started crawling at 7 months and hasnt stopped since! She can stand up from the sitting position without holding onto anything, and has even taken a few steps! She will definitely be an early walker. She is feisty as ever, has a very strong personality and a temper, but is super sweet too! She is a very happy baby, but lets you know when she is mad (which isnt too often, just when you take away a toy or a foreign object from her mouth). She recently started sleeping better, and by better I mean not up 2 times a night. She still nurses but LOVES table food. She just cut her top two teeth, making 4 on top and 2 on bottom. We have declared her officially allergic to milk, so no yogurt or cheese or milk for this one, hopefully she will grown out of it quickly though! She started clapping a few months ago, says a few sounds like dada, nana and we are working on mama. Her most favorite thing to do is dance! Anytime music is on she nods her head up and down and bounces. its the cutest thing ever!! Pretty sure she can even say the word dance. She just started waving a few weeks ago! Loving every minute with this little one. That about sums up our little family happenings!
