all the girls

I know, I know I have been a slacker when it comes to blogging. Why is it that life seems to throw it at a you all at once?

PHEW! We are finally settled into our new house in Sandy. I am speaking for all of us when I say this but we LOVE it here. The neighborhood is so quite and the neighbor's are great. I love being close to the school, the girls can walk, ride, or bike everyday. Great exercise for them. What I love most about living here is the SPACE. The concept of space such a great thing, we all have our own rooms, closets, storage etc. I forgot what it was like have my own room and not to share my baby. I love being able to lay in bed and read, watch television or just lay there. We have a huge yard where the trampoline resides and a great deck to lounge on or BBQ. In the basement I have all my hair equipment and a sink (YEAH!) no more cutting or washing in the kitchen.

The girls are doing well, Gentry and Gillian have met some nice children. Gillian, little miss popular has been invited to four birthday parties since school started. Gentry always seems to find the well mannered good kids, with very nice parents. Gillian is busy with dance, she is taking ballet and tap she is getting very good. We are also looking into gymnastics for her, she is quite flexible and I think she will be good at it too.

Last Saturday Gentry finished the fall outdoor soccer season, she played on an all girls team and played very well. We liked the all girls team it's much better than co-ed soccer. Gentry will be starting basketball in a few weeks, she has never played basketball so we will see how it turns out.

Chaia is getting bigger and bigger everyday. She is now is a big girl bed at my house and Adams, amazingly enough as busy as she is Chaia actually stays in the bed. She is so busy all day TALKING, puzzles, coloring, painting, sidewalk chalk, reading, playing with her babies or trains. Loves jumping on the trampoline or swing on the porch swing. I can't keep up with her and am completely exhausted. We have reached one huge milestone recently we are potty training. I can not believe how well she is doing (I knock on wood every time is say this). When she sits down on her potty down she goes to the bathroom every time, we just had our first poop yesterday. Very exciting!!!! We have not moved to big girl underwear yet but it's close. One step at a time, right?

Little Bella is not so little anymore she is such a sweet dog and is a good dog, but still a puppy. I must have been temporally insane when I decided to get a dog.

I have been on the computer long enough today it's back to trains with Chaia.
