</We are trying to buy a new home in Idaho Falls so that a) we have a bigger home with three bedrooms on the main floor b) are closer to Dave's work and c) we are not living on such a busy road etc. This has been what we've wanted to do and were planning on doing, but I didn't think it would happen until next year...and part of it may not. We've looked at houses and put in offers on several-one of which we are waiting to hear back on because it is a short-sale and we've put our house on the renters market which we are nervous and excited about. We think we have found a renter that will stay for a while, but because we are still waiting on the short-sale...we have no where to live-or we won't whenever our renter moves in. Thus our nerves are a little short and I am living with a mild panic 24/7. But, we feel like this is what we should be doing, so hopefully we will find somewhere to live for the foreseeable future that will be a good place for our family and one where we can enjoy the holiday season. So those of you who may ask when we are moving or what we are doing...the short answer is we don't know, but hope to find out soon. : )
Conner D. has officially gone "potty" in the toilet! He is getting to be a really good listener and a good helper. Most of the time he is a good brother, but he is still working on the whole sharing concept and being soft with Janie. At church he loves to sing the hymns-not that he really knows the words, he just likes to sing loudly and happily. He knows all his ABC's, shapes and colors (except orange which he seems to think is yellow) and is working on getting his numbers down. He's still very much into Thomas the train and Lightning McQueen, but his favorite movie right now is finding Nemo. He also likes to be a backseat driver and tells me if I am not turning the right way or if I need to pull out faster. He's a cute little cuss and he keeps us busy running after him.
Janie Lu is 9 months old and she scoot/crawls/rolls everywhere. She is my good eater! This girl will eat just about anything and I'm pretty darn sure she eats more than Conner on any given day. She loves to shake her head no, clap her hands and is starting to give fives. Her new favorite word is Mama, which she says all day long and is so cute! She is still pretty little as far as percentages go she is in the 19% or lower, but is as round and chunky as ever. She has such a sweet littler personality and survived two different babysitters this week-which is saying a lot for our sweet girl!
