We love being close to BYU again!! Last week we stopped by Pa's office to say hi and went to the Bean Museum (no it is not a museum for beans-love you Amie!!!) Eric takes Adam at least once a month because it is free and Adam loves the animals!! This week was great because we got there right in time for a show and Adam got to touch a snake! He thought that was pretty cool.He really wanted to pick the Rhino's nose

The crocodile is a favorite!

The cutest two year old ever!!

Touching the snake-he's braver than I am!

Tessa wasn't quite as thrilled as big brother, but she was a good sport!

Story Time

We love books in at our house! I started reading to Adam when he was a few weeks old and his love for books blows me away! We read at least 3 before bed every night and a few more during the day. We often find him "reading" to himself during the day as well. I am sad to say I have not been as diligent with Tessa, but hopefully that is something that will improve soon. She likes it when I remember to sit her on my lap with Adam. I am grateful I married someone who shares my love of books! I am grateful for parents who taught me to love books and to value them. I am grateful for a Mom who taught me to read....actually she taught all 8 of us kids to read! A lot of my memories of Dad involve books. He was always reading and that was a great example to me! Thanks Mom and Dad! Now I can enjoy reading with my own babies!!

Answered Prayers!!

Eric got a job!!! We feels so blessed and are so relieved!! Eric keeps joking that he was unemployed for 8 weeks....people in Europe get longer vacations than that. The job is with Progress Manufacturing and they are located in Provo, so we get to stay close to home which we are really happy about. Eric will be their production manager-he starts on Monday! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!! Yeah!! We have a job!

Tessa Boo

Our Tessa Boo has had an eventful couple of weeks. She turned 5 months old on January 9th! (Yes, I am slightly behind with life.) She weighed in that morning at 14 lbs 4 oz and we are so grateful that she is growing and gaining weight so well now. She is such a sweet baby and we are so glad she is part of our family.

She also started getting rice cereal last week. It took her a few minutes to get the hang of it, but now she loves it!! Waiting for the spoon
