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

November 16th - November 22nd

Rachel loves to sing and dance around the house. She is so excited when John gets home and just wants him to play with her. She still loves playing with her babies and tries to take as many as she can whenever we go somewhere.

David is working on rolling and is trying to be more mobile. One of his favorite things is when Rachel talks or sings to him. He could sit and watch her all day. He still has a hard time taking consistent naps which is taking a toll on both of us.  John and I are trying to teach David to sit up on his own but we are having issues because he always straightens his legs to stand. 

Monday 16th - The kids and I made an early trip to Joann's in the morning because someone contacted me on Etsy and wanted me to make a customer car seat cover! As I was looking for fabric and sending her pictures, she told me her mom wanted one too, so I was able to make two car seat covers! I spent what time I could in the afternoon sewing, which was so much fun because they each wanted minky on their covers, which is a pain to sew. Rachel was really sweet and sang to David to try to keep him happy. John made a trip to Bountiful after work to buy Rachel's Christmas present. After he made it home and we ate dinner, we went over to John's parents to see his dad for Family Home Evening. It was also Grace's birthday, so we lucked out and got dessert too. Rachel eventually had a bit of a melt down, so we headed home and got the kids to bed. John and I watch Blindspot and then headed to bed.

Tuesday 17th - I spent most of the day sewing, and was able to get both car seat covers finished! John was able to come right home after work, and we enjoyed an evening at home. We worked on dinner, ate dinner, and then got the kids to bed. David was so tired by the time we laid him down as he had barely slept during the day, and Rachel also said she was tired even though we got them both to bed around 8. We watched Supergirl and then got ready for bed.  I fell asleep and John spent a little bit playing on his computer. 

Wednesday 18th - The kids and I made a trip to the post office so I could mail the two car seat covers. My first sale on Esty is complete! David took a great nap in the afternoon, so I was able to finish up another car seat cover that I will post on Etsy. John had tutor after work, so he didn't get home until about 6:45. He then had a Skype tutoring session at 7, so we didn't get to see him much during the evening. I got the kids in bed, and then John finished up. We watched survivor and headed to bed.

Thursday 19th - John got up early and went for a 6 mile run. The kids and I spent the day at home. I worked on a nursing cover to go with the last car seat cover that I made. We almost went to a Trampoline Park, but of course Rachel decided she wanted to take a long nap. John was able to come home right after work, so we enjoyed a bit of time together before he tutored at 8:30. After he finished, we got ready for and headed to bed.

Friday 20th - The kids and I made a trip over to Joann's during the day to get some more fabric for another car seat cover. We also made a stop at Kid-to-Kid to check for some clothes for the kids (they just keep growing!). John was able to come home right after work and help out with dinner. Our friends Becca and Joe joined us for dinner and games. It was a lot of fun. Becca enjoyed holding David for a while, and Joe played with Rachel while John was getting David ready for bed. Rachel was very sad when she had to go to bed. Eventually we played two games of 7 Wonders. John won the first, and Joe killed us on the second. 

Saturday 21st - John got up early and went and ran an unofficial half marathon. He was running with Trevor and they were going to meet Ben and Chelsi half way up Mountain View Corridor so they would get 11 miles. Turns out that the path on Mountain View is a lot longer, so they got a couple of extra miles, which John didn't mind. After they finished their run, they starting loading the moving truck at Brandon and Stacie's because they get to move to their new house! The kids and I went grocery shopping while John was helping them move. John got home after Rachel was down for her nap, so he was able to get some lunch and shower. David went down for a very short nap, so John started watching the Aggie game, and then held David and kept watching it. The Aggies came back from being behind and won the game! John was very happy. My back had been hurting quite a bit, so John found a massage place that had a short appointment to help me with that. He is the best to surprise we with that. We worked on getting the kids to bed, and I went over to that. It was so nice. David didn't want to stay asleep, so he was awake again when I got home. Eventually we got him back in bed, and went to bed ourselves.

Sunday 22nd - The kids slept in a little bit which meant I got to as well. John woke up early for no apparent reason but got to spend time playing on his computer.  Rachel was a little cranky and very clingy so we checked her temperature and it was a little over 100 so we decided she shouldn't go to church.  I stayed home with her and David while John went to church.  Rachel was asleep for most of the time John was gone but David would not sleep and was very cranky, screaming every time I set him down. After John got home from church we finished making the soup for family dinner and then John left and took David with him while I stayed home with Rachel. We ate dinner and got to FaceTime with my family which was fun. After we got the kids to bed John and I watched CSI: Cyber and headed to bed ourselves.
