New construction...

Try getting Lex to take a nap with this 10 feet outside her window! I can't wait until they're done building houses across the street!

A day of firsts...

Today Kaitlyn gave her first talk in primary! She had memorized her whole talk, but of course when she got up there she acted like she needed her daddy's help. She did such a good job though, and I just stood in the back beaming and trying my hardest not to tear up. She's pretty close to a perfect child (lately) and I'm so proud of her. I just can't believe she's already giving talks in primary!

In other news, Lulu had her first full day in nursery. It seems like I've been waiting for this day forever! I knew she wasn't going to do well. Lexie pretty much hates any adult that isn't me. She barely even tolerates Jared. Luckily, we have good nursery leaders who understand that some kids just need to cry it out and didn't come looking for me after 10 minutes of crying. Anyway, at the end of church I went to pick her up and she was huddled in a corner with her head buried in a blanket, clutching a baby doll. Apparently, she wouldn't let anyone touch her or comfort her and if anyone even looked at her she would break down crying. This might be a long adjustment period for her! Poor little girl!
