Well, well, well... what have we been up to in the month an a half since I last posted?
I'll start with Justices interviews. we were surprised to hear from both New York and Oregon this month. It is getting a little late in the game but i guess everyone is late this year. Justice CoraLynn and I headed east leaving Izaac Home with Justices Mom who kindly came down from Montana to hang out with him. Cora was a wonderful traveler and slept almost the entire trip the people on the plane were grateful and many commented on what a good baby we had. I took that to mean "We're glad your kid didn't scream the entire way!" We went straight to the Dental school when we got off the plane because we had nowhere else to go being about 6 am. I thought that I would be able to sit in a waiting room unnoticed until he was done. But no such luck. I don't know why but people just couldn't overlook our huge stroller, suitcases and baby... I guess we did kind of stand out... any way everyone was really nice to us and although I felt bad for being such a disturbance I was grateful to all who went out of their way to make us comfortable. Cora, of corse, was adorable with huge smiles to any who dared to look her way.
We made our way to the hotel walking the 10 or so blocks. Our hotel was nice enough and right down town so we were able to walk everywhere for the two days that we were there. We went to a few museums, and central park and many places in between.
I think the highlight of our trip was to have a friend... yes, we did have a friend,,, one of Justices old classmates from BYUI was going to NYU and he just happened to run into him. Grant and his wife Alicia were so wonderful to us. we went out to dinner with them on Saturday and then followed them to church and home for a wonderful dinner on Sunday. they even dropped us off at the airport! We really appreciated having a tour guide!
A few days after returning home Oregon offered an interview so Justice went alone to the other coast. He said the interview went well and Oregon was really pretty. I wasn't there so you don't get as many wonderful details on that trip. but since those interviews we have been playing the waiting game. That is defiantly the frustrating thing about this whole process, waiting and waiting. and waiting.
in the mean time I am still going on with my crazy semester. I am in a fifth grade class in Idaho Falls and it is a lot of fun. I also have many on campus classes as well. Justice is kindly staying home with our babies. Izaac is chatting up a storm. he is so funny to listen to i am amazed at all the new words that he comes out with. some that i can think of right now are "Stinky" referring to Cora's diapers and never his own, "copcurm"- popcorn is his favorite snack lately, "Cockolate" he is sure to enunciate this one so he gets his message accross. "Book, Song, plane, trucker," are ones he has had for awhile but are still so cute. He is also really good about saying "Thank you _____(whoever)" and "bess you" if anyone sneezes or coughs. he loves to beep when he hears beeping noises like in Wal-Mart when a worker is price checking he repeated every sound from the next isle. If he hears a bunch of sounds that he doesn't know he always tells me. "Noises"
i guess that is enough of his words although there are many more. they are just not as cute in writing form.
Cora is getting so big she loves to sit up and is almost crawling. about a week ago who weighed in at 14lbs and 4 oz. She is a very opinionated little girl and if something doesn't go her way Her shrill scream will let you know. She has become wiser to Izaac and gives a scream whenever he is about to steal her toys. She is still a great smiler and loves to be adored.
I guess that is all for now, I will try to be better at the update thing but who knows!!
I love you all,,, except the ones i only like a lot!!(You know who you are!)
