Anyway, things we have been up to is school for the kids, preschool for Josh (he is in the best preschool. I feel so lucky to have him there!!), and trying to keep Daniel entertained so he doesn't destroy the house every day. He is one busy little guy who follows me everywhere I go and makes a mess every where he goes. We love having James working so close that he can walk to work, come home for lunch and be home early for dinner. It is the best arrangement, since having him commuting for 3 months really took its toll on our family. He is now home a lot! We have met some great friends here, which certainly helps us feel more comfortable here, since we aren't around any family. The only hard thing is that the primary in our ward is terribly small and our neighborhood doesn't have many kids. So, there aren't many kids around for my kids to play with. But, they have met a couple kids at school and are doing o.k. with it. One great thing is we get to know the missionaries on a personal level and my kids are figuring out that living here isn't like living in Utah, meaning that not a lot of people are LDS. It is a good learning experience for them and one I am grateful they will have. I think they will grow a lot.
Here are a few random pictures of our days...
Joseph and Hannah first day of school

Daniel wanted to see what kind of a fairy he would make. Lets say he is definitely cuter as a boy!

Can you see I was having a little too much fun? Snow White was our next dress up adventure. (I was a little bored this day keeping my kids entertained)

Is he liking being a princess?

Nope!

Get it off me, mom!!
