So You Think You're Funny. . .

Colton's personality development has been very fun to observe. He is very busy and very opinionated. He is an explorer, adventurer, and socialite to say the least. Every few days he seems to cycle through the new cool thing. Be it the daring look over the shoulder as he attempts to climb something new, or the did you just see that look. One of our favorites was this one. When we would laugh at him, he would look up at us and give us this "yeah I'm funny" face where he would halfway close his eyes and wait for us to laugh before doing it again. Such a busy, funny kid!

Don't mind the black bean juice. . . just focus on the eyes.

These two kids make every day a hilarious and wonderful adventure!

West Virginia

We are over half way done with our stay in West Virginia. It's been a different kind of experience. Living in an new place temporarily has had its difficultly especially with kids.  It's hard not having your own stuff, doesn't quite make it feel like home, although we have been very blessed as a very kind couple in the ward, who also works at the firm where Matt is working, found us a place to live and if that wasn't enough they also provided us with everything that we've needed, from beds, couches, dishes, washer and dryer, toys for our kids, pretty much everything to furnish a house. We will forever be grateful to them.

The kids and I are still trying to figure out what there is to do here. We've gone to the library and park and shopping. Every time we get out Karlee never wants to go back home, I think she's a little bored. Hopefully we'll learn of other fun things that there are to do. We spent two different weeks in Ohio visiting my sister and that was fun.

Matt has really been enjoying his work at the firm. He loves the firm and the people he works with. We are excited about the opportunities that it may bring. Bridgeport is a very pretty place. Trees everywhere, very hilly, windy narrow roads. It has pretty much everything you need. I think we could be happy here.
