August and September 2013

I do really try to keep this updated, but other things keep getting in the way. Here is a rundown of what has been happening the last two 2 months:
    August 2013:
Chris received a new calling this month. He was called as Webelos leader, which is a scouting program for 10 year old boys.
   The last weekend in the month, we went to Idaho. We visited with my family, saw the remains of the fire,and went to the Eastern Idaho State Fair Blackfoot. We had a great time.
We also used a Community Explorer Card to visit some museums in Salt Lake for free. We visited the Discovery Gateway, Red Butte Gardens, and the Natural History Museum.

Daniel also liked this ride.

September:

  This was a busy month for us. Daniel started preschool and loves it. The teacher from last year quit and they finally found one about 2 weeks into preschool starting. They are currently looking for another teacher as she just quit yesterday. Daniel's fear of trees also became obvious this month. If he walks next to one, sometimes he gets so scared he starts screaming. We are trying to read books about trees with him hoping it will help.

    Katina helped in the Primary Program held on the 15th. The kids did such a good job on it. She also started taking a Love and Logic Parenting class on Saturdays. She is learning a lot on how to be a better parent. She was also very excited to attend the Relief Society General Meeting at the Conference Center with some sisters from the ward. It was a wonderful experience being in the same room as the prophet. 

    Our stake conference was held on the 21st and we got a new Stake Presidency. Our own Bishop Keller became President Keller! We are still waiting to see who our new bishop will be.

    Chris is enjoying his new job. He has adjusted well to the work, but is having a tough time dealing with the hours. He works from 6 am till 3 pm. He is in bed most nights by 10:30. 

   Kathryn is getting big so quickly. She loves to get into everything and is attempting to stand. She still has no teeth. She wakes up frequently in the night. If we let her cry it out, she wakes up her brother and dad. I can't put Daniel in the living room because Chris gets up so early. I spend most of my night asleep in the chair with Kathryn asleep on my lap.
