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

September 21st - September 27th

Rachel is very cute with her dolls. She wants to do everything that I do, and tries to take care of them. Then again, there are times she stands on their heads, so we don't leave her alone with David. She is definitely in the terrible twos though, and is very headstrong.

David continues to grow and get stronger. He is getting so big. He doesn't seem like such a blob anymore, and is getting a personality. We think he might be teething, which leads to a lot of drool, grunting, and whining. 

Monday 21st - The kids and I took a walk down to Walmart to pick up a couple of items. It was a long walk, and they were ready to get out by the time we got home. John came home from work and we at dinner before Becca and Joe came over for FHE and italian cream sodas. We played a couple of games while Rachel watched some TV, and then we played 7 Wonders after we got her to bed. Joe won (as usual), but I got second! We were only able to get one game in, but it was a lot of fun. David woke up right before they left, and took a while to get back to sleep, but John was able to lay him down so that I didn't have to stay up with him.

Tuesday 22nd - Rachel was cuddling with me on the bed in the morning, but then her diaper leaked. So, Tuesday became a laundry day. John met up with Kevin to give him a lasagna I had made for him and Kindra, and then came home. After he came home, we finished up making and then ate dinner, and made a trip to Ross. We were able to find Rachel and me pants, and found some picture frames for much cheaper than Walmart had them. We headed home and got the kids to bed, and went to bed ourselves.
 
Wednesday 23rd - John got up early and went for a run. He went farther than he planned due to neighborhoods not lining up well. The kids and I spent the day at home, but David seemed to be having a very hard day. He didn't want to sleep, and only wanted to be held. John tutored after work, and then was able to come home and help me do a little cleaning. We got Rachel to bed, and John tutored a new student via Skype since his new student lives in New York. After he was finished, we tried to get David to fall asleep, but he wasn't having it. Eventually I stayed out in the front room until David fell asleep so that John could get some sleep.

Thursday 24th - David had a tough day. He spent a lot of time crying. The kids and I made a quick trip to Walmart to get some small items. I spent some time getting things ready for my friend Melanie and her friend to come over for dinner. John helped out when he got home. We had a lot of fun hanging out with them and their young son. After they left, we got the kids to bed, and then got David to bed again when he woke up an hour later. Eventually we got them both to sleep and were able to go to bed ourselves.

Friday 25th - The kids and I hung out at home most of the day. John tutored after work, so he got home a bit late. After he got home, we ate dinner and got the kids to bed. I worked on a photo album I'm putting together, and we worked on getting David to bed, and were eventually able to get him down and go to bed ourselves.

Saturday 26th - John woke up really early and went for a 12 mile run. I started working on Rachel's closet and getting it organized. John got back just in time to rinse off a little bit and head out to go lay sod at Tiffani's house. While he was gone, I worked on the house a little bit and started working on David's room. John got back and mowed the lawn while Rachel went down for her nap. Eventually we both were able to work on David's room and eat dinner. John and Rachel headed out to Gloria's while all the girls came here to watch the Woman's Session. We all hung out and ate lots during the session. After it ended, everybody went home, and John and Rachel came back as well. We got the kids to bed, and made it to bed ourselves.

Sunday 27th - David woke up a once during the night, but Rachel slept until 8:30, so we all got to sleep in a little bit. David didn't wake up until after 10. John got his lesson for priesthood ready, and we all got ready for church so that we could walk to church. Church was good, and Rachel had a fun time in nursery. After church, we tried to get home quickly so we could get down to family dinner, but David decided he was hungry just as we were about to leave. I fed him quickly, and we headed out. The kids fell asleep on the way there, and David slept for a while after we arrived. We had a lot of fun at the family dinner, and enjoyed the yummy spaghetti and alfredo. We had to head home a little early as Rachel was starting to have a melt down. After we got home, we watched the lunar eclipse for a bit, and then FaceTimed with my family. After we finished, we got Rachel in bed and started working on getting David to bed. He decided he was nice and awake, so we watched an episode of Survivor and headed to bed.
