An Update on Us

I rarely get to sit down at the computer for more than a minute or 2. So, since the kids are both napping I thought I'de give you all a little update.

Morgan is growing and maturing every day. She is saying so many new things, cereal, Arial, holy, more, inside, outside, etc. She tries to say nearly everything we say. We're working on colors right now. She can't identify any of them yet, but she can say yellow. She LOVES, I mean LOVES, Cinderella. At least once a day she brings it to me and wants to watch it. She even tries to say it sometimes. When I give her the option of 2 movies, she always choses Cinderella, and when I move it from its usual spot on the shelf, she scans through the DVD's until she finds it. She loves her daddy more than ever and talks about him all day while he's at work. Everytime she sees a helicopter or airplane she says daddy. She is scared of jets, thunder, and scary things on TV. She loves watching America's Funniest Home Videos and just sits and laughs at everything they show. She also enjoys dressing and undressing herself, but mostly she likes being naked.

Jackson is also growing everyday. He's beginning to look like a real baby and not a newborn. He hates his carseat and refuses to sleep in it. He's sleeping more at night now, 5-6 hours, eating then another 3 hours. Which feels like heaven! He is very awake and alert for what seems like most of the day. He is finally nursing 100% without a nipple shield, but we're still working on being good at it. He's only 6 weeks old, but I swear he smiles at Morgan everytime she talks to him.

Clint finally had his PC checkride a couple of weeks ago and passed. So now he is a Pilot in Command. He's still working long hours, but he loves his job (well, the flying part of it). He left today to go to the field for about a week. They made hime the flight lead for his company, which means he's flying the lead aircraft and is "in charge" of the mission. He is still in the Young Men's presidency at church, though he rarely gets to participate in their activities due to long hours at work. He has been sick for the last week, so he's not running as much as he would like to, but he's still training for the March marathon here in Seoul. He is turning 29 on Halloween and I'm super excited for his birthday! I LOVE birthdays!

I'm just as busy as ever with the 2 kiddos. I know 2 is nothing compared to some of you out there, but its a tough adjustment! We're figuring it out though, and I've actually gotten us all ready for church on time by myself the last 2 weeks in a row :) Feels like a great accomplishment to me. I haven't had much time for any sewing or reading :( But hope to be back at it soon. I've pretty much gotten the kids on the same napping schedule most of the time. Which has been nice. I'm trying to walk every morning or do my home video workouts so I can get rid of some of this weight. It sure is harder this time! I've lost half of it though. My joints have still ben a little swollen, but my wedding ring finally fit over my nuckle the other day!

In case you haven't heard, we won't be coming home for Christmas like we had planned. Clint was only authorized 10 days of leave, which isn't enough time to make the trip worth the money and jet lag and stress. So we'll be spending Christmas here, creating our own little family traditions! Should be fun!

Anyay, thats our update. We love to hear from people (its kinda lonely out here sometimes) so feel free to shoot us an email or leave us a comment.
