I apologize for not writing much lately. It is not that nothing is happening but rather I am getting that nesting urge. So, I actually spend a lot of my time cleaning and preparing for baby time.

It will be so different this time. I hear 3 really makes the difference. I am glad that I have two little helpers though. They really are a big help, mostly. : ) Daniel loves to help do the dishes - which I am so grateful for. Sammi is good at cleaning most things. Sometimes it seems we have too much stuff everywhere. I am amazed. When we came here almost 3 years ago we had our clothes and some books and toys - nothing else. Now, we are loaded full of furniture and everything you can imagine. We actually need to get rid of things! It is so amazing how no matter where you go you can rely on the fact that members of the church are there to help you. At least I have found that to be my experience. We have never been alone, or felt alone, though we had no one here that we knew before. Now we have people we consider close to family and we know they will be there for us. It is so nice.

Well, I was going to write more but Charles just got home and I want to be with him. So ta, ta for now. I will write more interesting things later!
