Simon's best friend

Simom was caught hanging out on the bathroom mirror enjoying his reflexion. He was even talking to himself. We thought it was pretty funny to watch.
It was Spring Break last week. We hadn't planned much which was a good thing because I ended up getting sick. Brian was wonderful and took good care of me. The interviews with Family Services we had scheduled this week were rescheduled for the second week of April. What a lovely lazy week.

Brian's Pie Day!

March 14th is Pie Day! At least it is according to Brian. His math teacher appearently gave him the idea by telling them the mathmathical equivialent of pi (3.14) was the same as the date (3/14). Brian had a great time celebrating by eating apple pie with his parents. I was stuck at work that day so Brian saved a piece of pie for me. Marie Callender makes some good apple pie.

Spring!

Spring has made it to St George! I am waiting eagerly for the hyacinth to bloom. I have been seeing young Robins around the house. They seem to really like the garden. I'm spending as much time as I can fixing up our little garden and making it ready for plants later in the month. I have been looking online and have seen some really pretty desert plants. Now I just have to find those at the local nursery. Hope everyone else is having a warm day:)

Still going

We made it through the day long training for adoption. Not a whole lot of new information but it did cover a couple of subjects I was worried about. It went over a subject I never even considered too. No, we still aren't approve but it's really close. We just have to make sure one of our references sends in their letter then we have our home inspection and approval. Brian reminded Brother Olsen about it again Sunday.

Nothing else happening here. There was suppose to be a Recongition night for the Activites day girls that I had to help with this week but they decieded to postpone it for a couple of weeks (and I had so much fun putting the invitation together). Brian took another math test last Thursday and is positive he got another 100%. He finds out tomorrow at class for sure. That's all for now!

No more stubbed toes

We haven't be doing much lately but I wanted to update the blog. We just got back from our FSA (Families Supporting Adoption) meeting which was about blogging safely. With adoption profiles online now they wanted to be sure we all knew the sort of things that can be posted without worry of identity theft.
The picture is of one of the changes we made to our living room since Mom and Dad were here last summer. This is the fish tank stand we asked Brian's Dad to make us so that we didn't keep stubbing our toes on the other one. We are both really pleased with it. When the warm weather comes back, we'll finish staining it.
Not much else happening. It was a pretty normal, noisy new year for us and things are back to normal for us at work.

St George Blizzard

We had the biggest snow storm I have seen in St George since I moved here 5 years ago last Wednesday. It was bad enough that school was canceled and that never happens in St. George. Brian said he hasn't seen it snow this much since he first moved to Hurricane. We took the first picture at midnight Wednesday as it was still snowing. The second is from Friday afternoon. Needless to say that I have been enjoying my hot cocco and warm blankets and trying hard not to worry about Christmas gifts this past week.

O Tannenbaum

 
Our Christmas tree is up early this year. (Well, early for us as we did wait till 1 week after Thanksgiving to put it up.) Aimee hopes to get me to write the Christmas letter early as well (that is before Christmas Eve). I received a phone call from my little niece Isabella (4 years old). She seems to have remembered that back in the summer we gave her a long yummy red a white stick and wanted to know what it was called. So let’s all remember the good things at this time of year: our friends and family where ever they may be, the spirit of giving to those around us, and most important those yummy red and white sticks.

Best of Holiday wishes.

Brian (the writer) & Aimee
