Rachel seems to have discovered how to step her tantrums up a notch. She screams so loudly she makes herself cough sometimes and she has started hitting when she is really upset.
David is getting big, and is starting to move his legs and arms a lot. We think he is getting past his colic stage as with the move we couldn't find his drops for a couple of days.
Monday 24th - I got ready in the morning and headed over to our old place about noon. I then spent the afternoon cleaning and trying to get Rachel to take a nap. After John got off work, he came over and joined us and worked on the nails in the walls mostly. We stayed until about 7 and then headed home so we could get Rachel and David to bed.
Tuesday 25th - I got over to the apartment a little bit earlier so that I would have more time. Rachel played for a quite a while when she was supposed to be taking her nap, so she didn't sleep long. John came over after work again, and we were able to get everything finished and packed up. We were going to take a video and pictures of the apartment, but decided to go swimming one last time on Thursday and that we would do it then. We headed home, got the kids to bed, watched America's Got Talent, and then went to bed ourselves.
Wednesday 26th - I spent most of the day unpacking at our new house. I was able to get Rachel's room organized with all of her toys. John thinks she has too many toys. After John came home, he took Rachel and David for a walk while I made dinner. After dinner, I ran to Walmart to pick up a couple of items. I wanted to get a fence for my sewing area, but it was a lot more expensive than I thought, and they were out. After I got home, our landlady came down to help John install our microwave, but it turns out we don't have the hardware we need to install it, so hopefully Thursday night. We got the kids to bed, and then we went to bed.
Thursday 27th - John got up early and went for a 6 mile run. He started on the canal trail, but it was so dark that he didn't feel comfortable staying on it (and he lost it at an intersection). I got up after he got home so that I could shower before he left since the Relief Society President from our new ward was coming to visit. I spent the afternoon unpacking a few boxes. That evening after John got home we ate dinner and then headed over to our old apartment to go swimming. Becca and Joe came to join us and that was a lot of fun.
Friday 28th - I spent the morning unpacking and keeping the kiddos happy. In the afternoon Terry and Gloria came over to help me do some unpacking and then after John got home from work they went with us to our apartment checkout as witnesses. On our way home we stopped at Walmart to pick up some lights. After we got back we put the kiddos in the stroller and went over our new Bishop's house to pick some fresh peaches. That night my mom arrived with Quinn and Sierra. Rachel was super excited and got to bed late because she just wanted to play.
Saturday 29th - John went on an early morning run with his family and he took Quinn with him. They went 10 miles and Quinn was very sore the rest of the day. After they got back John mowed the lawn. My mom, Sierra, the kiddos, and I went yard saleing and then to Kid-to-Kid to find some bigger clothes for david and a gate to go around my sewing area. That afternoon Gloria, Chelsi, Stacie, and Katie came over to do a craft. It was a lot of fun. We had a yummy dinner of hamburgers and corn on the cob. After dinner my cousin came over to see Quinn for the first time since he got back from his mission. We started a movie that night after Rachel was in bed but we were all pretty tired so we didn't finish it.
Sunday 30th - We had a fairly relaxed morning until my mom, Quinn, and Sierra left for a mission homecoming and then to head home. John made a yummy breakfast for everyone. We finished getting ready and then headed to church. It was the fifth Sunday so John and I got to stay together the whole time which was nice. After church we hurried home to change and grab something to eat. We dropped the kiddos off at my in-laws and headed to a hospital in Bountiful to see our friends Kevin and Kindra and their adorable new baby. We were there for a little bit waiting our turn with the cute new bundle and then we headed back to pick up the kids. Rachel fell asleep on the way home so we took off her shoes and put her to bed. We got David to sleep and then got to spend some time together.
