Over a YEAR of INACTIVITY

WOW! Over a YEAR since I have posted on the BLOG. No way. Inactivity for the blog - nothing but activity for my family.

Randy completed his fellowship year at SCOI (Southern California Orthopaedic Institute) and joined Coral Desert Orthopaedics in St. George, Utah. He started in AUGUST 2012 and took 40 days of call between then and the first of December... code for never being home. He wanted to prove that he was worth the investment to his partners.

Oh, and we moved in with his parents because we decided to BUILD A HOUSE. Luckily I have the best in-laws in the world, I AM SERIOUS.

Cooper started KINDERGARTEN and played SOCCER, FLAG FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL, and now is wrapping up T-BALL. (Whew, lots of driving).

Caroline started PRESCHOOL and watched Cooper play soccer, flag football, basketball and t-ball. She decided she needed something too so we signed her up for Mini Cheer this past month. She loves that she doesn't have to just watch now.

Calvin is officially the world's smallest terrorist. He climbs on EVERYTHING. Quite a feat how he pulls himself up, lots of upper-body strength and coordination. He has also inherited his father's teasing attitude so he just LAUGHS when he gets a little swat on the bum. Does NOT laugh when he has to sit in time-out.

I still feel like I am on vacation because that's what we are doing when we stay at the in-laws. Despite teaching at a few gyms, volunteering at the school, teaching primary and meeting new friends, I just don't think it will feel like home until I have my own place.

Back to the house - I mean my all-encompassing activity for the past 9 months. We are ALMOST ready to close at the bank, just a few finishing touches dragging out the process and making me CRAZY because I NEEEEEEED my own place. Will post some pics after we start to move in - hopefully this weekend!

Post a comment if you read this so I know if I still have any blogging buddies left!!

Love to ya!

I don't know if you remember me. We were in the Iowa City ward together for a little under a year. I still check in from time to time. Facebook is so much more gratifying, so my blog too has been almost abandoned ;)
