The rain is over and it feels like summer again. It seems unreal to think about how much people are suffering just to the south of us while I sit here so comfortable in my house. I’m grateful there are so many organizations offering relief.

Hayden has been particularly fun this week, just being so cute and sweet. Today we went to a music class put on by some of the other moms in our ward and he loved it! He followed all the directions and really enjoyed dancing along and singing and such. He keeps saying that Sophie (the girl I baby sit) is his sister. He tells everyone that she is his sister and for some reason it makes her mad and she says “I’m not your sister” and that hurts his feelings and he cries…hopefully his real sister will be nicer to him! It’s pretty funny.

Tom is getting busier at the clinic but he is still trying to find more patients. He really enjoys what he is doing which is good since he has to do it anyway! This school year is definitely much better since he isn’t busy with homework all the time. Hayden and I enjoy the fact that we can hang out with him every night.

We got some new fish today for our salt water tank. They are pretty cool and will hopefully acclimate well with the other fish. We already had to remove our star fish because he was really aggressive and was trying to eat our new anemones. The star fish cost $6 and the anemones were $30…so the star fish was returned to the pet store. We couldn’t get our money back for the star fish, we’ve had him for a few months, but at least we didn’t have to kill him. Hopefully the other creatures will learn to get along!

I’m finally really starting to feel pregnant. I can’t bend over as easily and I have to wear all maternity clothes and such. But I still feel great compared to how I am sure I will feel in a few months! I thought I would wear a lot of the clothes I had with Hayden but they are just so uncomfortable and frumpy looking compared to what they have now that I had to break down and get some new pants, even though they cost a fortune!

We are hoping to go the beach tomorrow with the Debaltzo’s after the BYU game. We are watching the game at 3:30 and will then hopefully meet up with them. We’re looking forward to a relaxing nice weekend. Gas is $3.29 at the station on the corner, we’re grateful we didn’t have any long road trips planned.

Hopefully you will all have a great weekend! We’d love to hear the reports on everyone’s new school year. Thanks Marnie and Buffy for keeping us up to date. I hope the new school year goes well for everyone, kids and adults alike. Hayden starts his once a week preschool on Tuesday, should be fun. I’ll do better about writing to keep you up to date on our boring lives! We love you all, feel free to come visit.
