Gracie's First Vegetables - and Tim and Lisa update



TRP_4366.jpg, originally uploaded by eyenology.

Lisa has started Gracie on baby food. She's been giving Gracie a sort of rice cereal for the last couple weeks which she has just loved and always wants more. The sweet potatoes... well they were a different story. She we'd crinkle her nose and spit it out anytime Lisa would give her any sort of combination of sweet potatoes and rice cereal. If it was on its own, it was just fine.

This photo was actually taken in our townhouse in Rock Springs, which means that Lisa and Gracie were here! Fortunately Lisa said I did an ok job picking out a place for us to live here.

It was great to have them here, even if just for a few days. We got to watch a session of General Conference for the LDS church on Sunday which was nice. I was even able to get a day off! It was one of the first times in a long time that the three of us have had a day all to ourselves.

Lisa is more than half way finished with her student teaching, and starts with a new teacher tomorrow. We're counting down the weeks (7) until we Lisa finishes her student teaching and we get all moved in here in Wyoming.

Family Picture

On one of my last trips up to Rexburg, Lisa's mom snapped this family photo of us behind our apartment.

Hotel life coming to an end

After more than a month living in hotels with just two weekends at our apartment in Rexburg, I'm pretty anxious to get into a place to live. We've decided to rent for a while, and found a great place that I think we'll really like. If all goes well I'll be able to move in tomorrow or Friday. I can't wait. I'll throw some pictures up here when I get a chance.

Furniture could prove to be an issue. For now, I have an air mattress, two folding camp chairs, and umm... a t.v. (does that count as furniture). So I guess there will be some things I'll miss about the hotel...

The drive between Rock Springs and Rexburg is about 5.5 hours. I left at 4:00am Tuesday morning and pulled into the parking lot at exactly 9:30 to open the store. Long day. Good sleep.

Lisa is pressing forward with her student teaching. It has its ups and downs, but is doing ok. Gracie just keeps getting cuter. When life settles a little bit I'll add some more videos and photos. Lisa's mom is out helping with Lisa's brothers new baby and chipping in to give lisa a much needed hand. Her sister is moving to Rexburg for college and has helped out lots too.

Lisa and I are both looking forward to being able to be settled here. She should finish her student teaching duties around Thanksgiving. We should be able to have a nice calm Christmas in the same state.

Rock Springs, Wyoming

Sound like a weird title? Well, it's even more weird that I'm living here! That's right, we're moving! I'm managing the store over here and really enjoying it. The opportunity came up pretty suddenly, and I had to jump on it. Currently we're holed up in a hotel trying to find a suitable dwelling. For those of you who say that housing prices have dropped, must not live here. It is very expensive, so we're not sure exactly what we are going to do.

I've been spending a lot of time at the store. Lisa has been making friends with some of the ladies in the ward. Gracie seems to be doing great, very smily and giggly.

Gracie

We shot a few frames of Gracie, and she really hammed it up. It's crazy just how fast she's getting bigger.

It's been fun photographing Spencer as he's grown up. For his 1 year birthday his parents brought him over and we had a good time. We also took the opportunity to get Gracie in front of the lights, look for those coming soon.
