The First 2 Weeks

Well, it certainly has been a long time since I updated this blog. But we will start fresh and maybe I will find time to add what else has happened this past year.

We are now in Delta, Utah. It is centrally located and a little to the west, in the middle of a desert. We brought the cold Idaho weather with us, as we have had record cold and snow since arriving. Nothing like feeling you are still at home, right?

The kids have started school and are adjusting well. Nadia is at the middle school here, and absolutely thrilled to have a locker. Unless that same locker is making her late for class because you have to get the combination just right while sticking your tongue out at just the right angle with your head cocked to the side and closing one of your eyes. She is the only Beehive here, which was a little intimidating at first, but the girls have been great at including her. Our big problem here is that we just found out she is lactose intolerant and she is still learning what she can and can't eat or drink. Alfredo sauce and hot chocolate have been real jerks.

Brandon is in Webelos now. He hasn't gone to a meeting here yet, as they are waiting til after the Holiday Season, but he is excited to join them. He has made some new friends at school and church, and is absolutely obsessed with the Disney Infinity game that we got for Christmas from the IF grandparents.

Ben is also doing well. He is starting piano, along with Brandon, while we are here in Delta. He has loved playing in the snow and gaming with Brandon. He has been great with doing homework and reading every day since we got here, which I find amazing. He is also making a few friends, and is excited to be in the Ward Christmas party play and having a part in the school presentation.

Caleb is just my buddy right now. It was amazing when we arrived that the nursery leaders remembered him from summer, and he has had no problems with adjusting at church. We just need to find a few kids to do playdates with, and will be set. He is so busy! We have been playing computer games, pop-up board games, and he even prays at night that we will play more games the next day. We have also made cookies and cake, we go to the store and bank regularly, and he still has more energy than me.
