Nothing New

I realize that I have not written an update in quite a while, so here it goes. Things are going well for all of us. Barrett is getting to be so big and he is smiling and making cute baby sounds all the time. He still really does not like the car but we manage some how. He as only rolled over twice and I keep hoping to catch it on video but not yet. Hopefully he will do it again soon so that everyone can see it.

Isabelle is as feisty as every! She is just so much fun. Everyday she does something too cute or silly that just completely expresses her Isabelleness; if you know what I mean. Her little mind is a sponge. She is learning so many new words and is slowly starting to speak in sentences. Her verbal vocabulary has surpassed her hand vocabulary but I still try to teach her new signs as I learn them. It’s pretty fun to watch her sign new words especially if it uses two hands. A lot of her signs you just have to know what she is trying to say to understand and process.

I can hardly wait until I can teach Barrett some new signs as well. I really do think it helps with overall communication. Ben is doing well, keeping the troops in line at work and trying to keep his “barn” running smoothly. He worked on Monday over the long weekend which I hope helped out, he didn’t really say. And of course I am doing well. I am ready to have a more consistent schedule so I can figure out when to get a work out in. I’m sure it will all come together soon. It is kind of hard when we don’t have a gym membership because I don’t have anyone to watch the kids so I have to wait on Ben. Either way, everything seems to going pretty smoothly here in Utah, we are just waiting for the weather to cool down.

The people we know here made it sound like right after Labor Day the weather makes this drastic change that upsets the balance of like; instead of gradual change. So far so good it is pretty much the same. I hope we adjust well to a real winter.
