So, I am now caught up since New Years on the cutest pictures of my goobers.

We are doing good. We are still working on some house projects but are getting so so close to being done. Our house is like a whole new house....new master closet, new flooring in the whole house, new paint in the whole house, etc. My husband is my hero for all the work he has done. He is starting to get really good at the projects he is doing. He has learned a ton and each project his skills just get better and better. I am ready for the projects to be done so we can actually spend a Saturday not doing a renovating project.

We are planning on replacing Rob's hip at the end of this year. For those who don't know Rob has had hip problems his whole life and has always needed them replaced. Within the last year he has taken a turn for the worse and is in pain a lot of the time from his hips. It is affecting his daily life and him being able to do what he wants to do. So, we are working towards having the surgery in December. The recovery could be as long as 6 weeks so we are trying our best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. If there was a way financially we could do it tomorrow we would because of the pain that he is in. It is a constant prayer in our house to be guided, to be able to figure out the best solution to get this done so he can start to heal and do the things he wants to be able to do.

Other than that...same old same old. Rob is in the Elders Quorum Presidency in our ward at church. I am still the Young Women's advisor....going on 5 years of that being my calling because that has been my calling the whole time we have lived here and that was my calling the whole time we lived in Arizona too.

Lily loves preschool and is doing good in that. Her dance class had a little recital and she was the one who stood there frozen and picked her nose...ah, the joys of parenthood.

Ella is doing good. She is almost 16 months old and is really good at being 1....emptying cupboards, climbing on everything, etc. She actually isn't saying any words so her Pediatrician wanted her tested for that so we are waiting on those results. She might qualify for some in-home speech therapy to get her caught up.


Happy March!
