Home Sweet Home (The First 5 Weeks)

We're settling in to our new house and neighborhood just fine. It's such a beautiful area right up against the mountains and we're grateful for all the trees and nice landscaping. It's been so nice to be able to take the stroller and go for walks. We don't know how time passes so quickly now, but Rory working 6 days a week might have something to do with it.

I keep busy with my favorite new books, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. I'm already rereading them. You just can't beat a good love story. I can't wait for the 4th book to come out in August and then the movie in December. I'm addicted.

Jette Lynn had a really bad cold for a week and then passed it on to Zane and I. We have all been pretty miserable for a couple weeks. Then a rock flew out from the lawn mower and sent Jette Lynn to Children's Hospital in Salt Lake to check out the eye damage. It was a long night and very traumatic for a 2 year old to have doctors poking her sore eys and strapping her down for scans and tests. Her cornea suffered a scratch and we are grateful it wasn't any worse. She was on Lortab and eyedrops for a couple days, but she's already up and acting like nothing happened. The morning after it happened our little drama queen Helen Keller wouldn't open her eyes...not even to eat. It was almost comical.
