Nursery

Yesterday I was sitting in RS listening to the announcements or something and I got asked by the primary pres to come help with nursery. This didn't surprise me because I am usually the first on the list called to sub. There were a few kids having a rough time and the class was larger than usual. Nathan is a worker in the older group of kids, so when we were switching rooms I left Jez to play with the toys with daddy. I am glad I did since in needed both knees for kids to sit in. When it came time to switch again, Nathan held J up and told her to walk to me. We have been waiting for a bout a month for her to start walking, she has been so close for that long. I asked if she had yet and he said that it was the cheating walk. I stood her up and stepped away from her and she took 4 steps to get to me. 2 more times during the rest of nursery she walked 4 steps again. Then after sacrament (we have backwards church) she did it again in the foyer.

Last night before we put her in bed she did it a few more times. We can see that she is still nervous about doing it, but her confidence is definitely building with it. There were 8 babies born in our ward from the beginning of Sept to the end of Oct and JJ was the last one. Of those 8 babies, JJ was the first to crawl and to walk. She is so smart and such a joy to have around.

So we have had a major roller coaster around here!! We are no longer trading houses with my in-laws, but buying a different house also in Cedar Hills. It is such a cute house and we are so excited. We can't wait for all the great things about this house like central air, separate bedrooms for Avi and Dai, the tv where Dai can't watch from her room, a TON of storage space, and a garage. It is going to be so great. It really isn't final yet, but it is a pretty sure deal. We are hoping to be moved in within the next 3 weeks so things can be done before school starts on the 25th. Luckily we have 3/4 of the house packed and moved out, so it will be easy to finish packing up the rest of what we have.

Now I am crazy busy trying to get this house ready for new renters by painting the whole basement and half of the upstairs. Anyone want to help? Wish me luck, I am going to try to survive the next two weeks then hopefully move in to a new house that is our own.
