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

December 7th - December 13th

Rachel is getting a lot more vocal, and is starting to string together longer sentences. Yet, at the same time, she likes to respond with "Yep!" or "Nope!"  a lot. She likes to say "I love you" more as well.

David is starting to get  more mobile. He has a little bit better control with his arms, and can actually reach and grab things he wants with some amount of accuracy. He is also more content while not being held as he can see around him and hold onto his toys better.

Monday 7th - I went to Walmart in the morning and picked up stuff to make dinner. I picked up lunch and took it to my mom's work.  Rachel had a blast playing in Noni's classroom, she barely touched her lunch. After lunch I took them back to my parents for naps.  That evening my mom helped me pull out fabric and got a couple pairs of pajama pants cut out.
John - I spent my day at my conference. There were two sessions with a lunch in between. After the last session, I went and grabbed some dinner and ate in my room.

Tuesday 8th - In the morning I went to Kid-to-Kid with the kids and then went to pick up lunch.  I dropped it off with my dad and then took my mom and a couple other teachers theirs. 
John - I again spent my day in different sessions. The second was a little less interesting than the others had been, so I was happy when it finished. I went to P.F. Changs for dinner, and grabbed some yogurt for dessert.

Wednesday 9th - I met a high school friend for breakfast which was really fun.  The last time I saw her I was still pregnant with David so we had a lot to catch up on. I went back to the house for a little bit and then picked up lunch one last time for my mom. That evening after she got home we took some christmas pictures of David. After we finished I worked on packing up suitcases and getting everything ready to go in the morning. 
John - After the sessions finished, I went and grabbed a shuttle out to the airport in Atlantic City to pick up a rental car I could use the following morning to get to the airport in Philadelphia in time for my flight. I then drove back to the hotel and grabbed some dinner, before heading to bed early so I could wake up early.

Thursday 10th - Today was a day of traveling. The kids and I got up and started getting ready early in the morning. I packed up the van with help from my mom before she left for work, we made a quick stop, and we began our journey home. David was a little whiny, but did pretty well on the way home. We went straight to the airport, where we picked John up from his return flight. His flight was a bit late as they had 120 mph headwinds on the second leg from Atlanta. Once he got out to the car, we went to pick up his car which he had parked at a Trax Station in case I didn't make it back in time. We then headed home and began unpacking and getting settled back into life. It was nice to be able to relax and to be home. We ate dinner, got the kids in bed, and headed to bed ourselves.

Friday 11th - John got up early and headed back to work, which he kept saying was really weird. The kids and I got to spend a good amount of time at home relaxing after traveling, and just enjoying being at home. John helped Kevin study for his final after work, and then came home. We ate dinner, watched the finale of the Amazing Race, and headed to bed.

Saturday 12th - John got up early and went for a run with his family. After he got back, we all got ready and we went out and did our shopping for the week. After we got home, we started putting up Christmas decorations after we got the kids down for naps. Unfortunately in the evening I realized that my Fitbit had fallen off sometime during the day, so John tried to go out and find it. Unfortunately he didn't have any luck. We have some options to try this week to hopefully find it, but I was very sad. We got the kids in bed, and headed to bed ourselves.

Sunday 13th - David and Rachel woke up a little earlier than we would have liked, but it was probably good. John had a training of sorts in the morning for his new calling at 10, and then I went visiting teaching at 11. Luckily John was able to make it home right before I had to leave. After I got back, we quickly ate some lunch and headed to church. Rachel was pretty good during Sacrament meeting, and was very excited to be able to go to nursery. David fell asleep at the beginning of Sunday School, and we were able to lay him down and he slept for most of Sunday School. During Relief Society, David decided that we were being too quiet, and decided to fill his pants very loudly. Everyone around me looked to see what had happened. It was rather embarrassing, but a little funny at the same time. After church, we came home and finished up dinner. Our landlady joined us for dinner and brought a salad. It was a nice evening. Rachel didn't get a nap during the day, and was getting rather cranky near the end of dinner. I picked her up, and she laid her head on my shoulder and fell asleep. John went and gave her a shower, and she woke up for a bit. We got David to bed, and then got Rachel in bed, and headed to bed ourselves.
