Update

This picture was taken the other day at the park. A bunch of us got together for a picnic with the kids to celebrate that it is finally warm here! We hope it lasts! The girls are totally covered up to avoid sunburn, but with that fair skin from mom and dad, it is inevitable. It was so fun to chat with everyone and I'm grateful for great friends here in Kirksville! I don't really have any other new pictures lately. I've made some videos of the girls but haven't been able to get them onto our computer yet. Hopefully soon.

Anyway, Scott spent the weekend in Philadelphia at a SOSA (Student Osteopathic Surgical Association) convention. He went with some other guys from school and had a great time. They went to different presentations and workshops to learn about different surgical specialties and techniques. Scott is the President of this club at his school for this next year, and he will be awesome! I was jealous because they went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art which I would have loved! The bad weather put a damper on some of the historic sightseeing and made it so he had to stay an extra day because his flight was cancelled. We missed him and are sooo happy to have him home.

The girls and I tried to keep busy this weekend without Dad. We went to Columbia for a little shopping on friday. Saturday Betsy Bulkley (a photographer in our ward) did pictures of the girls. Those stinkers wouldn't smile, but I'm sure she got some other cute shots. She has a blog that she is going to post some of the pictures on, so I'll let you know when she does. We also went on a few walks and had Stake Conference.

I read both Twighlight and A New Moon by Stephanie Meyers to take up my free time. I have to say that they were fun, very quick reads that I totally got into. It was a good thing to keep me busy!

The girls are doing great and are learning new things every day. They are both teething of course and oddly enough have one tooth each in the same spot. They were both so fussy today and Scott and I noticed tonight that they are both getting another tooth in the same spot. They must be twins! They have also just started to crawl and it is super cute! Bella does more of an army crawl, but looks like she is trying to crawl like Maddie does (the regular way). My world is about to change that's for sure! Maddie can now pull herself up and stands up while holding the side of her crib. This has caused a bit of a struggle at nap time because she pulls up and then gets stuck and cries. Last night I peeked through the door because they were talking up in the cribs forever and Maddie was standing on the edge of her crib looking over at Bella. Bella was laying there talking with her and probably trying to figure out how she was standing like that! They are our little angels though and make us so happy!

Well, there you have our update. Kind of long... sorry! We love and miss our family and friends, and we'll post new pictures soon!
