We actually live in my grandparents ward and I just got called as the CTR 7 teacher. I'm looking forward to my first class on Sunday. Dave is loving his job, schedule, family time, and being back in Logan. I am enjoying the fact that now he is helping me do dishes...nevermind that his dad is using that to determine if he gets to go fishing on his days off:)
Tina is picking up where she left off. She now is involved with TaVaci - a children's singing group with her cousin Sydnee, orchestra at school, and piano lessons with my sister Joanna (that starts today!) Braden has made friends and actually had some playdates! It makes my heart happy to see that he has friends again. He still struggles at keeping quiet in school - he must be used to our noisy-ness at home. And we are going to sign him up to play baseball in the summer. Brooklyn has a couple of friends also and we are enjoying the neighborhood setting, where spontaneous playdates abound. I am also trying to initiate "mommy pre-school" since she starts Kindergarten in the fall. Cole has made it through nursery last week for the first time since we moved in. He has some great teachers, and enjoys being my little shadow.
For Christmas, I got a new flute. I have been able to play it at a funeral service already, and will soon perform in church thanks to my grandma:) I'm excited to have an excuse to practice. Dave got a few car things for Christmas, and has been hard at work fixing his car. It is well used, and he just put in a new engine mount. I told him he will be an expert by the time he finishes with this "project." Next on his list is the trunk - it has a rope in the back, because it won't open from the outside.
Tina got some American Girl stuff - and a jewelry box that I am jealous of:), Braden got some baseball things and wii games, Brooklyn got a new bike, and Cole got a motorized scooter. He has been riding around in our spacious house.
Speaking of house, we feel so blessed to be living in a 6 bedroom over 2300 sq. foot spacious older home. The home we came from was 1000 sq. feet, so it's a little different. We still don't have all the furniture we would like to fill the space, but I'm sure it will come:) It sure has been an adventure, and I have to say having Dave enjoy his work has made a huge difference in the feeling of our family. I am so grateful for all the answers to our prayers. It's nice to feel settled into something more stable. Sorry for the novel, and no pictures, but hopefully they will come soon! I just thought I better catch up.

Yay! I'm happy you did catch up! Where do I start?! Well, it's probably time I call you so I won't make this comment too long, but that's so fun! So I'm jealous Joanna gets to teach Tina. I'm excited Braden is playing baseball! We'll have to come to some of his games. And, I'd like any ideas you have for "mommy pre-school" because I think I may do a joyschool thing here. And yay Cole! I'll bet that's so fun being in gma and gpa's ward :) I'm SO happy to hear Dave likes his job. What a relief! And I think that's where I'll end my novel.
