Abigail squared

When my sister Heidi came into town, Eric's sister Rachel came over. They both named their daughters Abigail... so I had to take this cute picture. They were so excited. I had a hard time keeping them from bouncing up and down. Abi (Rachel) is on the left, and Abby (Heidi) is on the right.

Wednesday Update

Good morning!

Eric and I both lost a pound last week. I have now lost 14 pounds and Eric is at a loss of 12 in 9 weeks. My sister bought a bunch of clothes in my new size that she got on clearance. I LOVE having new/new to me clothes that fit. It was getting silly to keep hiking up my pants.

We had a great time with Heidi and her family. They are going back home today. Emma cried last night because she was so sad to see Abby go. Braden tried to console her with "Don't worry Emma. We are going to Idaho and we'll get to play their Wii then." Yes, it was a classic man/woman miscommunication. Braden, as noted, really enjoyed the Wii that they brought with them. Yesterday, we went to IKEA. I think Heidi is hooked. She thought that the prices would be much more expensive than they really are. I think it's a good thing that IKEA is more than 30 minutes away or I would be there more often. Last night, we went to Los Hermanos for dinner and we went to Jumpin Jacks after that. The kids all had a great time. Adam even convinced me to go on some of the inflatables with him.

I am trying to stay home this morning. There is a great sale at Albertson's this morning, and I'm going to go to it, but our new computer parts are arriving some time today, so I need to stay close to home.

Adam amuses and Visitors

You might have noticed a funny thing about Adam's hair in the last post. Adam started wearing Emma's headbands around the house. I was curious so I asked him why he was wearing Emma's headband.. His answer was "I'm Nephi." (For those of you who aren't LDS, Nephi is a Book of Mormon prophet who lived on the American continent around 600 BC.) OK, so even though Eric is a little disturbed by the headband, I guess I'm not going to discourage my son from wanting to imitate a prophet of God.

In other news, my sister Heidi and her family will be arriving this afternoon. My children are really excited because we usually only see the Davis cousins when we go to Idaho. It will be fun to have them on our turf. She will be bringing her husband Justin, her daughter Abby (who's birthday is today) and her new daughter Daphne. This will be the first time that we get to meet little Daphne.

Trying to figure this out

Today is Friday and I'm still trying to figure this blog out. Braden has a 4th Grade Christmas Concert at the Mall in Orem, so we will be going to that.
