good news, and not so good news

Good news: Dallin was released as 1st Counselor in the E.Q. & was put in as the YM Pres. He also started school tonight

Not so good news: meetings, stake dances, Wed. night activities -- away from the family, meetings, Wed. night classes, homework, papers for me to read

Good news: We had our first Primary activity last Saturday, and it went very well.

Not so good news: Now I have to plan for the next one.

Good news: Tyler is enjoying school.

Not so good news: He comes home so tired, but I can't have him take a nap or he'll never get to sleep at night. You can imagine how enjoyable that makes him in the afternoons.

Good news: Adeline progresses every day in her development.

Not so good news: She can now take off her shirt, pants, socks, shoes, and diaper. I have to keep a onsie on her so she doesn't get the diaper off -- she hasn't figured out the snaps yet. But I often find a trail of clothes throughout the house. You can tell where she has played throughout the day. She is also strong enough now to drag a table chair over to the kitchen counter or the piano -- since we still don't have a bench. She can also climb onto said chairs -- and the toilet and consequently the bathroom counters. The kitchen counters are still too tall for her to climb on them. But if anything is within reach on the counter, she'll grab it. She can also open twisty lids, zippers, Ziploc bags, and Tupperware.

Good news: The baby is doing well, and we heard the heart beat again yesterday. The Dr. also gave me a date for my c-section -- Tuesday, June 23. Lest you think I influenced this decision, I did not. My due date is June 25, but that is the Dr.'s day in the office. He does his hospital rounds on Tuesday.

Not so good news: I only have 5 months before my life becomes crazy!

Good news: Tomorrow's high is supposed to be near 40 -- and after -45 wind chills last week, I'm looking forward to it.

Not so good news: It's going to be 22 the next day and 9 the day after that...I am so ready for spring!

I already commented on My Family, but I know how fun it is to get comments on my blog, so I thought I'd leave you one here too. You guys are going to be CRAZY busy come summer time. YM's President, Primary President, and a new baby, plus 2 other little rascals. You'll do great though, and I'm sure you'll adjust quickly. I forgot to ask Where and What is Dallin going to school for?

Dallin's going to school for his Masters in Special Ed. The school he teaches at is paying for it so that he has the proper credentials to do what he does. It will take about 18 months to 2 years, and then he'll get a 5k raise, and be marketable just about anywhere.

I didn't know you were expecting either! Congratulations! Yeah, I can only IMAGINE that 3 kids will contribute a ton to the craziness! Not that we're super close being in Ohio, but let us know if we can do anything, eh? :)
