We are continuing to adjust out here. Marc is enjoying work and learning more and more. He has been to two conferences this month. He was in New Jersey for a couple of days and then has just returned home from Arizona where he was for a few days. Luckily the next traveling he does will be done with the whole family when we return to Utah for Christmas.
Coleman is doing very well in school. He is learning a lot and quickly making new friends. He is reading well and has become a little math wiz. Coleman is also becoming known at the library for his lego creations during Lego Club. He takes after his father there. He has been incredibly helpful with his little brother and sister. Most mornings he has started getting everyone their breakfast before I even get out to the kitchen.
Campbell had a bit of a rough start with preschool. We were so anxious to get him into one that we chose poorly and he ended up in more of a daycare type situation than a preschool. Thankfully, our prayers were answered and there was an opening in a very good school which is still free. He LOVES his new school and has made new friends and is incredibly excited to go to school everyday.
Campbell has taught himself to read by watching his older brother and now reads to us each night from The Berenstain Bear books or Dick and Jane books. It is fun to watch the boys reading together.
Addison has developed quite a personality. She is equal parts angel and devil. She went from refusing to talk to talking non-stop and when she doesn't think she's being heard - she yells. And boy does that girl have a set of lungs. It's not too bad at home but my heavens in public, it can be a nightmare. She loves to follow in her brothers footsteps. She wants to do whatever they are doing, to play whatever they are playing. They are pretty patient with her thankfully. Addison has discovered that she loves puzzles as much as her brothers but any sort of coloring, painting, stamping, creating is her passion. Most days her entire body is covered in color. She's like a little moving rainbow.
My time is up - we have to run to church. Coleman is giving a talk today in Primary. It is amazing. Just a few months ago, back home in Utah when he spoke in primary, he needed someone to help him read his talk. Now, he can just stand up there and read it. It is great. I treasure these little moments that are making up our journey out here.
Miss you all. See most of you soon!
