April and May

I know, I know. . . . I promised to update this blog every month. I am a little behind. Here are the major events of the last couple of months:
April was spent enjoying General Conference. The next week we went on a family vacation to Bear Lake with Katina's parents, grandma, and sister's family. We were a little bummed because the pool got shut down and we could not use it. We ended up going to the city pool where it was way too crowded. It also rained the entire time we were there. It was still great to hang out with the family.

Daniel having fun with his cousin Faith

Daniel mastered walking two weeks ago. We didn't know if he would ever start walking. Now that he is walking, there is no stopping him. He has started carrying things over and finds great joy in piling books on top of Mommy's lap. He is getting taller and now can reach on top of the table. He is still a really happy boy and has this cheesy grin that makes us laugh. He also carries things around in his mouth. He actually won't sit still for a picture as he is too interested in the lens cover.
Chris found work at the end of May. He works with a guy in our ward who has his own business. Chris worked with him a few weeks last year. This job is perfect for Chris as he will have enough work to do for at least 2 years and is only 2 blocks away right now. They will be getting a new office in a few weeks. This company is unique and the only one that can do this in the state. The company basically takes anything that has to do with a building (floor plans, exit, directions on how to use the fire extinguisher, etc.) and puts it into a PDF format. It is a great job and we feel so blessed to have found it. Thank you all for your prayers in helping Chris find a job.
My aunt Irene was involved in an accident last week. She has a diabetic dog who is blind and deaf. He was under her feet and she went to avoid stepping on him and whacked her elbow down hard on the kitchen island. She ended up breaking the tip of her elbow off and shoving it up her arm into her muscle. She had surgery yesterday and is doing pretty good. They ended up taking the broken part out of her arm and sewing on the triceps tendon back to the arm bone. Talk about painful!
Katina's dad is doing very well. He only has to use a cane now and has most of the feeling back in his arms. They will be seeing her parents over Father's Day weekend.
