Back Online!

Yesterday a funny Bulgarian man came and installed our cable and internet. Andrew is happy to have his shows back, and I'm happy to be able to sit at a keyboard! The internet is super fast, which is awesome. I can't believe we went for so long just using our phones! Its been 7 months!

So here's what happened since I last posted.

We moved to an apartment, its temporary til we close on the house. Hopefully we close before the end of June (come on tax credit), but we are pretty happy with this place. It's bigger than the previous place, but it lacks a garage, but it has a pool and no stairs. Give a little, get a little. The house we are buying actually has almost everything we want. Pool, garage, 3 bedrooms, gated community, and a low mortgage payment!

Andrew is potty trained, well mostly. I think the newest problem in the potty training department is laziness and the fact that he's so So SO stubborn. He really dislikes being asked if he needs to go, and then he either gets mad at me for prompting him or he just can't be bothered and he has an accident. Mostly he's pretty good, a little crazy, he thinks he's perfectly capable of taking care of himself, he's very resourceful, and he still doesn't like Primary.
Juliette continues to be almost perfect! I think I've been blessed with such an awesome baby because my parents are serving a mission. No Joke, the transition to 2 kids has been so smooth and easy, it must be because of divine intervention.


While Eddies parents were here visiting we decided to bless Juliette. I would have made an announcement and invited everyone, but it was sort of a last minute decision.
We did a lot of other fun things while the Pickups were visiting.
We had Easter in Heber, the Reeds got to join us, and that makes everything more fun. Andrew loves his cousin friend Paige.

And the Pickup men went to priesthood.
We took family portraits in Red Rock Canyon.
And we went swimming at the hotel.
While Grandad, Grandma, Uncle Henry, Uncle Angus, and Aunt Hope were visiting, Juliette smiled! And I managed to get a couple really good pictures of it! Thank goodness for camera phones!

"The internet is super fast" - that made me laugh out loud, like you're a Sudanese refugee or something.

Juliette couldn't be prettier, and thanks for taking Anna while you were here - she keeps asking when Hoke is going to come back (Hope).

I'm so glad Juliette has been such a good baby for you! Easy transitions make all the difference in the world.
