Bye, bye Logan....Hello St. George

[The past couple of weeks have been...hectic, to say the least.]

Steven graduated about 2 months ago, and has seriously had no luck with finding a job in Logan. He has looked every where, and has found nothing. We knew the economy was bad, but not this bad.. NO ONE IS HIRING!!!!

So a while back, my parents mentioned the idea of us moving into their home down in St. George, to see if he would have any luck down there, job wise. (I think my mom just wanted an excuse to come to St. George more often!!) Any way... we thought about it for a while, and thought there was no way we could leave Logan. My family is in Logan, we love our little house, we love our ward, and we really didn't want to even think about moving, especially with a baby.

After having no luck finding a job in Logan, we seriously started thinking about the move to St. George. Within about 2 weeks, we had come to the conclusion that we had absolutely nothing to lose by moving. Yes, I am going to be VERY homesick, and probably call home crying every day, but we feel like it is the right thing to do right now. Within about 5 days we have gotten our entire house packed up, and off to St. George. We will be outta here Monday! It is so not like us to just fly by the seat of our pants, and MOVE within 2 weeks, but we have prayed hard about it, and feel really good about going.

Steven has a couple of jobs that he has really looked in to, and when we arrive in St. George, he is going to go in for some interviews. So cross your fingers for us, and pray that he finds a good job down here.! Also, while all of you are freezing your butts off in L-town, ill be sure to definitely soak up some sun!!!!!!

(My mom warned me about our future ward...apparently there are so many old people that live around us... one Sunday, she said a few little old men were in "jazzy chairs", and using walkers to pass the sacrament!!! Ha Ha. We're going to be living by some real party animals!!!)

WISH US LUCK!

Carrots....yummy!!!

Today was Drews first time eating big boy food-- carrots! HE LOVED THEM! The first few bites he was a little unsure of, but after a few spoonfuls, he was so excited. I can't believe how big he is getting!

Here are a few pictures of our first day of "big boy food" success!

4 Months!

Today was Andrew's 4 month appointment! I can't believe my baby is already FOUR MONTHS! Dr. Brown was so impressed at how well he was doing, and at how chubby he had gotten in only 2 months! Drew now weighs 17# and is 24.5 inches. He is in the 87th percentile for weight, and 32nd for height. So he is a short, fat little guy. He went from being in the 40th percentile, to 87th in only 2 months. He sure loves to eat. We also started giving him a little bit of rice cereal here and there, and he LOVES IT! He has gotten so good at using his little spoon, and now tries to grab the spoon out of my hand and hold it himself. :)

He has such a funny little personality. I think he is going to be a hand full as he gets a little bit older. He has mastered screaming, and knows that he can always get our attention by doing so. He also loves to grab our faces and try to "kiss us", or suck on our noses. Gross, but really funny!

We are loving every second with him. He is so much fun to be around, and we are very blessed to have such a fun, happy little baby!
