So its been a REALLY long time since i have posted anything, but now that i look back on how much we have grown and changed since the last post I regret not keeping a journal of our memories as a family. Hopefuly I can be more commited from now on.
It is May 2010 and we are living in Scranton, PA. It is beautiful and green here. Tons of trees; it reminds me of Portland. Matt is working hard selling for APX alarm and doing a great job. I don't tell him enough how much I appreciate him for sacraficing all his time to provide. We have been so stressed with preparing for our future that sometimes we forget to enjoy the journey. It is really hard being without matt while he is gone all day. Especially at night, like right now its 11:30 and he is still not home. It usually starts to sink in aroung 9pm and I want him here to talk to. We hope this trip will be full of good memories when we look back and it will all be worth it.

As for Dallin, he has changed so much since we have been here. In the last month he has began speaking all kinds of words. Some of his favorites are sorry (pronounced, saw heey), go, a ball, juice, bye bye, hi, grandma and grandpa. The way he says his words are so cute.

Dallin has also decided he wants to potty train. Yes he is a little young only being 21 months old but he is very persistant. He is going on the 2nd day of going potty in the big boy chair. He also woke up in the morning and from his nap on the first day with a dry diaper. He is doing AWESOME! What a fast learner you are Dal! Tonight he did mess up twice. He is still getting down the whole pooping in the toilet thing. That one is a little more challenging. I have been so impressed with how much of a desire he has to learn and try new things. Dal does really well with change!

Some of our favorite things to do during the day while daddy is gone our go to the library and read, play at the park, cook together and cuddle. Dal gets really cranky if he doesn't get his snuggle time.

Well I'll try to be more like Dallin and be persistant with blogging.
