What We've Been Up To...

Well, it has been a week since Carl left for India. We miss him dearly. He gives us updates on his BLOG which is very entertaining. We also talk to him via Google Video every night, so the kids can see him and we can have family scripture study and prayer.

And, Nana has been amazing. She has already done tons of laundry and fixed tons of things at our house, not to mention entertaining the older kids or helping rock June or change her diaper. She is seriously the bomb. Now if only I could get my kids to sleep in past 6am, so we can get some more sleep...
We have had visitors...
Gpa Haynie reading to the kids

Gma & Gpa Dalton came down with Pam and Ben.

And, since we have been having warm weather, we have been playing outside as much as we can!
CJ's new found obsession: These Roller Skates. He wants to wear them all the time...even in the house.
And, Emma Jane has been practicing her roller skating skills too. Nana has also been working on teaching her how to ride a bike without training wheels. I will post a video later. And, CJ has learned how to ride Emma Jane's 2 wheel scooter better than she can! It is amazing how fast he can go!

And, on to June:
This little lady is obsessed with anything June: picking out her diapers and outfits, getting pacifiers for her, checking on her while she is asleep, and holding her any chance she can get. It is pretty dang cute to see how much she cares for her.
This is what June looks like most of the day--all wrapped up in her blanket.
This is June 2 weeks old. We still haven't quite figured out how to put her to bed. She gets up as soon as you put her down, but o well. You figure she still hasn't hit her due date which is May 9th! I just got her to bed, so I better get to sleep before she wakes up in a half an hour. :)

Aaaaugh! I can't take it anymore. Put her in a package and send her to India. I'll put her to sleep. Daddy's coming home baby!

She is soo darn cute! Love it! Emma Jane riding a bike with out training wheels? That is impressive!! Love your update. I love her brown and pink blanket. What I have read is that their nervous systems aren't developed enough to sleep for long periods yet. It will happen. Hopefully sooner than later. I love that you guys talk everyday on google video. That is dedicated. xoxo

Courtney, June is so adorable. I just feel for you! I'm sorry for the crazy circumstances that you have this perfect little newborn in. I'm so glad your mom is there. How long will she stay? You really are amazing. Good luck and did I ever tell you how much we love the bows and THANK YOU a million times! Thank you again and again. I love you!
