whew, here comes a long overdue update. lots has happened since december. joshie has learned to crawl, kneel, pull himself up, and walk holding on to things. sometimes he stands on his own but only for a few seconds. He eats lots more foods, some of his favorites being strawberries, bananas, baked beans, mac and cheese, yogurt, bread, and juice. as long as he can make a big mess he's happy. we moved from yakima to provo in the beginning of february. our first apartment was a scary experience. It was a studio in an old building with very thin walls. we had to call the cops many times on our neighbors. the first tenants got into a big drunken fight and got kicked out. the next tenants spent time in jail for abuse and also got kicked out. fun fun. we are in a much nicer apartment now with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. we get really good rates for spring and summer since we are in student housing, but we have to move again before fall semester. we are sooooo excited for shannon to come and live with us after she graduates!!!!! Doug is working at a place called media learner where they do internet marketing and help people start businesses online. He thinks this job is really interesting and is learning a lot about websites and the internet. He is also taking a class at byu on mon, wed, and fri. It is one of two classes he has left until he graduates. he will take the other in summer semester and then graduation!!!. whoo hoo!!! I will also be taking some classes in the summer. as for me i am home most days with joshie. we are still unpacking things and getting settled. mommy is very very happy because this place has a dishwasher and washer and dryer in the unit! score. and it has a nice pool, hot tub, small exercise room, and piano. well here are the pics of what we have been up to since our last entry. enjoy. (josh is so cute!)
