I'm Back

It's been a crazy year. Joshua is growing like a week. He is now in size 24 month clothes, and weighs 20 pounds 2 ounces. He is loooong too! When I hold him, he reaches from my shoulder all the way to my waiste. He rolled over earlier this week, and has taken to rolling all around the room.

Carl is loving his new job. He delivers ice cream (YUMMY) for Farr's icecream. It is neat because he gets to travel all over Utah. In fact, small world, he ran into Kathy and Steve and had lunch with them down in Payson.

Carl and I are house hunting right now (crosses fingers) and hoping to find something soon. We are tired of renting, and are ready to settle down in Tooele (for a while at least).

I am enjoying my new job at Excelsior Academy. I miss George Washington Academy, and all my friends down there, but am thoroughly enjoying my new adventures up here.

So for craziness, Carl and I have decided to take up a hobby. We are going to train a doberman to help with search and rescue. My brother inlaw Steve Parsons, is heading up a team, and we have decided it would be a great activity for us to do together. Carl has had a little (one day) expirience, where Steve's dogs attacked him and he was able to do some training with them (see pics below), and he loved it. We are really excited to see how this goes.

I am so excited for Joshua's first Christmas. I am trying to think of ways to make it extra special. We want to start some traditions as a family. We aren't sure what exactly, but we plan on having a lot of fun.
