Nephi ~Hannah~& Joanna

Monday, September 17, 2012

Well, the time finally came! Nephi left here about five oclock to head up to the mountain to start his race. He was pretty anxious the night before. We had been carbo loading the days leading up--which was good for him, but probably not too good for me. ;)

The anticipation I felt walking up to the finish line to watch Nephi come in was so exciting! I love going to Marathon's. It's so inspiring, and fun to watch people come in. Daddy's goal was to come in at about 3 hours and 45 minutes...but he came in just after 3 hours and 30 minutes! Yay Dad! (Name that movie?) :) We are so proud of our Nephi! He is so wonderful, and works so hard in the things he aspires to do! He said he was blessed in that his knees didn't give him too much trouble, and he didn't have to go to the bathroom. That's always a blessing! The weather was beautiful, and he is feeling less sore today! :) The only mishap was that Jos got lost at the park....but after a quick little jaunt over to the "park" within the park, I soon found her. Good thing she loves parks, and didn't end up in the water...Angels really watch out for and help our little family all the time!

From the time we got home from the race...it was one of "those days" We were all really really tired, and Jos threw up later...but thankfully after that she felt better. An answer to prayer! One of the bright spots of the afternoon was that Joanna's glasses arrived in the mail! It was so fun to try them on her, and see her cuteness. She notices a difference I think, but doesn't really like having them on her face all the time. She looked SUPER cute at church yesterday...but alas I didn't get any pictures. Just of the other crazy night. But she still looks cute. :) We are striving to all endure well, and love one another and we are excited for this little brother to arrive in less than a month! :)

What we're up to...

Well, Jos is officially 19 months! She is getting to be so grown up! She can eat her cereal with a spoon, and drink the milk out at the end...(of course it doesn't all get in her mouth, but she does well considering. :) She has done pretty well in nursery. This ward doesn't have many kids at all, so I think that helps her feel more comfortable, you know, more attention, let craziness. :) She is like her Mommy.

We have been making new friends her in Logan, and in Aggie Village. Walks are nice times to get out as long as we don't get caught in the rain--but even that was sort of a fun adventure! We found out Jos is really far sighted, and so she needs glasses. I'm anxiously awaiting for those to arrive in the mail! :) We'll post pictures of that eventually I imagine.

What else? Daddy stays pretty busy these days...but not too busy to help with dishes and greet sweet Jos bear in the morning. Morning time with Daddy is one of Joanna's favorite times! She loves to play with the boggle, play in the sand, and "Mun" ("run") outside. :) Daddy is getting excited for his first Marathon on Saturday! Top of Utah! I'm hoping the weather is good, and that his knees hold up well for him. He is so talented!

Baby comes in about a month! Woohoo! I'm not sleeping real well at nights, but I can be patient a little longer. :) I want this little guy to be happy and healthy. I got my new visiting teaching assignment, so that is great for me to give me something wonderful to do with my time. :) And now...some pictures. :)
