Wow I'm not a very diligent blogger, hats off to all who are...OK so we love our new house, neighbors and area. The home repair jobs are going much slower than we hoped they would but they are still moving reasonably quick. Joe is back in school working on his Master in IS Systems at the U so the fix ups are at a stop for a while. He is stressed out but is learning to manage his load well.
I've not been at a stop. I keep unloading the boxes in the garage in hopes I can park my car in there someday soon. I hurt my wrist so I've been forces to slow down a little and not carry heavy things, irritating really. I decide I need to treat my body better if it's falling apart at only 35 yrs old so I started exercising and eating a little better. Someone gave me a treadmill and I walked/jogged on it today and I feel great. New years resolutions are wonderful!!!
Jeff is doing really well in school and is exceeding in Math. He loves to read now and is still a great help around the house. Our next door neighbor has a son his age and they have become great friends. They also have a son Aspen's age and a daughter a little older than Miri. They have been wonderful neighbors and we are so happy to be here. Aspen is loving to read right now too. She sleeps with a book under her pillow and sometimes we have to tell her to turn off the lights and go to bed because she's staying up too late reading. I love it!!!
Gabe is reading too and although he doesn't love it he does it because he can't watch a movie until he reads his book and practices his writing. The kids are really learning to be independent. They walk to school and church and even friends houses ...sometimes.
Miri is now three and just a little before turning three She declared in a conversation that she is a big girl, when I replied calling her a big little girl she responded with "No I am not little I am Huge, huge huge" We got a good laugh at this. Today she didn't want to carry something because it was too heavy so she said "I'm just little Mom." She is such a hoot and we love to watch her personality come out more and more as she learns more words and expressions.
So that's the Bountiful Sorenson Family...Hope to update things again soon.Later
