So, I haven't been able to get over to my mom's house to scan pictures yet, but we took a picture of the picture (ingenious, aren't we?) so we could show off our little Elizabeth... She's so cute, even in a grainy black and white picture... :) I don't think she's actually sucking her thumb in this picture 'cause she only had her hand there for a second when the radiologist took the picture, but it's still sweet. We have another U/S on August 25th that's supposed to be better and clearer so hopefully we'll get pictures for that.
On other news, Kyle is loving school and his teacher. The homework right now is "so easy" and it's fun to watch him learn. He's really into reading right now (like mama like son) and can easily finish one of his Magic Tree House books in one sitting. He actually took one to church and read the entire book during Sacrament Meeting. He's never sat so still in Sacrament... :) He also just started Cub Scouts and is having so much fun with the other boys. He is always quite the "ladies man" so it's nice for him to develop his friendships with boys a bit more... He goes to a friends house after school and instead of playing with the boy that's in his grade, he plays with his friends younger sister that's in kindergarten... he's not really into video games or playing with action figures, but instead prefers to use his imagination and explore while searching for monsters, or shoot aliens that only he can see... he's constantly looking for "clues", but clues to what, no one can ever figure out. Yesterday he found a rock, and acorn, and a few bird feathers that were a "clue"... I just let him know how cool that is and don't ask questions... He gets exasperated when I don't understand... :) but he has started collecting Pokemon cards... He loves having his "collections". So far, he says that he collects baseball hats, rocks, Pokemon cards, and Magic Tree House books...
Anyway, we're all doing well... Devin just got a promotion at Sam's Club and is being recognized by regional marketing directors (even if English isn't their native language and their praise is sometimes hard to decipher!) but is looking at going into the CHP Academy soon. My work hasn't changed much, but the engineers here all seem to want me working on their projects and like that I can get my work done fast and how they want it. The Public Works Director knows me by name and says hello to me each time I see him... so that's nice...
Anyway, we're doing good, Elizabeth is healthy and growing stronger each day (I think she's bruised my insides a few times already), Kyle is loving the Olympics and wants to be a gymnast, Devin is happy at his work, and me? I'm happy that I can fall in bed and go to sleep each night! :)
