Things...

I have been meaning to post since we arrived but I feel like we have been running and running. When we first got here it was beautiful and we were outside, going for walks, shopping...(I know don't be jealous because now it has been raining for 5 DAYS!!! AHHHH!!!) Hopefully it will all be gone tomorrow because keep kids entertained in a small place with not so many toys=not so much fun! LOL!

Other than that we are finally all adjusted to the time change. That was so crazy! Micah thought 2:30am was morning! Thank God I have such an amazing husband to help me and who realizes that I require waaaayyy more sleep than him! LOL!

Here is my quick catch up on all of us...

Isaiah....had the hardest time adjusting here. He is really not good with change and really misses his friends (the neighbors). He was acting out and not being very nice but has finally come around. I think with school starting up again there is some structure to his days and he is liking that. He loves to be outdoors and playing with his friends. We met 2 kids one day at the park and he keeps asking about our new friends every.single.day!!! We now have Skype so he is talking with the neighbors...and I think that helps too!

Hope...loves it here. She is so easy going although she can have her moments too! She is really sweet and very thoughtful. Usually my helper! She is also my chatterbox! She is usually very shy when she meets new people but the one day at the park she was talking up a storm with some woman...it was soooo funny! She kept telling her to watch her jump and watch her go down the slide. The woman probably thought she was neglected at home...LOL! Far from it!!

Micah...well since the last post he did cut all 4 teeth in 5 days! First the top 2 and then the bottom 2...strange! He dances on command...if we say "Shake your booney" he will swing his hips back and forth....so cute!! He also waves bye-bye now and just starting clapping today when we say Yeah! LOVE IT! We are also finding out that I think he gets car sick here. When we drive up to Valencia and back he ends up throwing up when we get home and is really, really cranky! I think it is because he is still facing the back....but 2 more months and that will all change! So crazy to think that he will be 1 very soon:(

OH AND we did call 911 one day because he LOVES to put EVERYTHING in his mouth...and he was choking! I flipped him upside down and Dave did a finger sweep of his mouth. It was all so scary...but he did puke up a puffy sticker that was on the window and must have fell off. Thank GOD he was fine and everything worked out! I am not good in those situations! Thank you Jesus for Dave who is so good during these times.

We are enjoying our time here but also miss home. (Although not really the snow and cold! I used to think I liked it but with a baby I felt trapped....like I didn't want to drag him out in the cold...oh and all the layers...for all the kids....I am exhausted thinking about it again...LOL!)

Love and miss you all!

***UPDATE***
When I said I missed home...it also meant that I miss my family too! Just incase anyone is confused! And the love and miss you all was for them too! LOL!
