So let’s see if I can give you an update on our lives without writing an entire novel since I need to go to bed. I am not sure exactly what has been keeping me too busy to blogg but I guess I have been. Luckily I have plenty of time to sit and read the bloggs while I am nursing. First off, we are soooo excited to come out and visit in May. Hopefully you will all have time for some more fun game nights! We are planning to bless Danica at church on May 21st and would love to have Kenn and any of the brothers and brothers-in-law who can be there. My parents have wanted to take a trip up to see the Gorge for a long time and so they are going to come up that weekend and stay in a lodge right on the river and will be able to come over for the blessing as well. It should be a really special day for Danica.

Speaking of Danica she is doing really well, as usual. She is starting to reach for things and once in a while she actually gets her hands on something but still can’t really control it. She is laughing a bit more and is just a fun as can be.

Hayden is hilarious and as sweet as always. Two funny stories: Today he was having a really hard morning and just getting upset about everything on the way to church. After being at church for a few minutes he still would not stop crying so Tom took him out to the car to drive around so he could take a nap (afternoon church is so hard on him since he likes to take a nap.) Anyway, Hayden didn’t want to leave and kept begging to stay but Tom insisted and they drove around for while until Tom finally agreed to take him back if he could be good and not cry. When they drove into the church parking lot Hayden said “Thanks for not giving up on me dad!”
Second: He is on this kick where he pretends that he is mom and I am Hayden, it’s really funny and he gets pretty elaborate in his acting. However, the other day he took it a little too far when he lifted up his shirt and tried to feed Danica!!!

I am doing well, probably the best I have been since we moved here. Finally really settled in and happy. (The not so terrible winter has helped a lot too.) Yeserday I went to an all day crop that Lexi put on with some other consultants. I have gone a couple of times and it’s nice to just have a day away to visit with other women and scrapbook. I took Danica and Tom and Hayden were able to enjoy a day at the science center.

Tom and I are excited about your biggest loser contest. We are trying to come up with some sort of exercise contest for the two of us to get us motivated to get out there doing something. I really think I’ll start running when it gets warm enough but I could exercise in the house right now if I weren’t so lazy. Oh well… The Indian’s season opens up in a week and we are so excited! We have tickets to a few games already, including opening day here on April 7th and tickets for my birthday which is Grady Sizemore bobblehead night, he’s my favorite player so I am really excited. Anyway, sorry to ramble and sorry I don’t get to comment much on all the great entries I love to read. Like I said, I read them while I am feeding Danica and then forget to come back and comment later. I am glad you all seem to be doing well! Take care!
