up in Niland near us
my mom's guinea pig
Sourdough turtle we brought my family (Thomas's wedding) from "Boudin" in San Francisco
We are packing up to go to the San Francisco bay, in a couple weeks! As soon as we can finish packing and cleaning...I've actually got a lot packed, it's more just going through things as I pack, with 2 kids clamoring :) Glenn is really growing up, he'll be 10 months end of this week! He seems to understand some of what we say now and is pretty adapt at feeding himself. He likes to drop food or spoons though and look down as if he doesn't get what he just did or how it happens, Mere would just (and still does if you don't watch her) throw food all over, especially off her plate. She is soaking up things like a sponge and knows her colors most of the time and can count to 14 in order. She used to be soley attached to a white bear from nau (Saki's mom) but now attaches to various things, it was a play food doughnut for about a week and a half (thanks Robert), and then about a month of a hideous purple and brown plastic dragon from a happy meal, and today it was a miniature pink tennis racket (from my little ponies mom). It's funny, she often carries them everywhere and sometimes one in one hand and the bear in the other, though we don't take these items out of the house, which luckily she's normally ok with. It's just funny her odd attachment, I hope she's feeling secure at home :) Her favorite book is from the library-Miss Spider's Tea Party. She also enjoys a cat book from my mom (the one with pretty paintings of cats) and the Butter Bear and Cocoa bear book my brother Robert and I had growing up. She is also recognizing that we need to "read scriptures" every evening and really pays a lot of attention to the stories now, really enjoying it. We watched Finding Faith in Christ for Easter and now she often asks to watch the Jesus movie. Dad-what are those ones that are mostly speaking in Hebrew that portray Christ's life, live? Mere is a loving little girl, though she does like test me by sitting on Glenn and the cat and pushing Glenn over when he's standing-but not too often. She really is quite tolerant of her, and I can see her natural womanly nurturing skills showing through. What wonderful kids we have :) I love them so much! I am sooo happy to have Saki back here too, after a week in the bay job hunting etc. Lots of love to everyone.

Congrats on your move. How exciting...a new place to explore. Your sweet little ones have grown so much and look a lot alike!
You are right, we are going to the Gulf Coast...just inland from Naples. I did a google map and I think we will be 10 hrs from your parents, but hopefully someday on one of our roadtrips we can take advantage of being in the same state and visit with them or vice versa!
