Never be afraid to try something new. Remember amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic.

July 3rd - July 9th

Rachel is starting to be more helpful with David which is really nice. She loves 'helping' with everything John and I are doing which is really cute but most of the time way more of a hindrance than a help. She has been really into saying sorry and giving us hugs, but most of the time we are not sure what she is apologizing for so we just enjoy the hugs.  
 
David is starting to smile more and get a little more of a personality.  He used to love laying on our legs looking up at us but now he prefers being able to see what is going on around him and wants us to face time out.
 
Monday 3rd - Rachel woke up at 7:30 AM, after sleeping for 13 hours. She had had a couple of busy days while my family was up. The kids and I went out on a shopping excursion in the morning. In the afternoon after John got off work, we went to our new apartment to sign the lease and do an inspection. Our landlady has a few big projects to finish up before we fully move in, but she also just got a job yesterday, so she may be a little rushed to get some things finished. It turns out the previous tenants didn't clean much when they left either, but we are going to do that since our landlady is helping us so much this month. After we finished, we stopped by Costco to get some diapers and headed home. We got Rachel in bed, and then I went over to John's parents and Walmart to get some cleaning supplies. 
 
Tuesday 4th - Becca and I went for a walk in the morning with the kids before she had to go to work. After she left, I took the kids over to our new place and began cleaning. I spent a lot of time and was able to improve some things, but the people before us really left a mess, and it is going to take a little while to get it all clean. After I got home and showered I got a little nap while Rachel was sleeping.  That evening after John got home we ate dinner and then spent the evening relaxing and watching America's Got Talent.
 
Wednesday 5th - My friend Becca came over in the morning and went with me to work on cleaning the new place.  We were there for over 3 hours and Rachel went with our new landlady Joni for part of it which made it much easier to clean.  On the way home we stopped and picked up Zuppas to go for lunch.  After lunch Rachel went down for her nap and I finally got to shower and get ready for the day.  
 
Thursday 6th - I went back to the house to work on cleaning some more.  We were there for a few hours until the kids were super done and we headed home for lunch.  That afternoon was naps for the kids at different times so I wasn't able to squeeze one in. We spent the evening all hanging out together after John got home from work. 
 
Friday 7th - In the morning I went to the new house with the kids for just a couple hours because they were both going crazy. We headed back home for some lunch and naps.  The kids and I met John at his parents house after he got off work.  Gloria watched Rachel and David for us and John and I headed over to the house and he worked on cleaning the carpet and I worked on cleaning everything else.  We didn't make it back to pick up the kids until 9:30 (sorry Gloria) and hurried to feed David and then we took the kiddos home.  
 
Saturday 8th - We had a lot of errands to run so we headed out.  One of our stops was Costco for some stuff that was on sale.  We won't need any of it until after we move though so we took it over to our new place.  While we were there the new appliances were delivered so John helped move them in and the old ones out. It took us longer there then we had planned so we had to hurry home to get ready for the baptism.  We went to Britton's baptism and it was beautiful.  After the baptism we went to IKEA to look for a new desk for John.  We didn't find a desk but I found a dining table that I love.  After IKEA we headed home for dinner and putting Rachel to bed since she hadn't gotten a true nap.  After Rachel was in bed our friends Becca and Joe came over for games. We always have so much fun with them.
 
Sunday 9th - We all slept in a tiny bit (as much as you sleep in with children).  We spent the morning relaxing and getting ready for church.  Church went well with Rachel getting to go back to nursery after a couple weeks off and David sleeping for most of it.  After church we came home and I took a really short nap while John walked to the mailbox with Rachel and David slept. John made hamburgers for dinner which were delicious.  We spent the evening just hanging out as a family which was a lot of fun.
