Whoa, long time no write...

So, life has been a little crazy around here lately. Jason's parents have been having a number of contractors come back to the house to do some warranty work, which means our house has been a bit of a construction zone lately, but here's a brief update on our lives right now:

Jason's sister Heather, her husband Emilio, and baby Sam moved in around the beginning of April. Their stuff, along with all of ours, is now in the garage while the basement is being finished. They've been splitting time between living in the basement, Nate and Deborah's house, and Earl and Myrna's room while they are in Canada.

Jason is about halfway through his CNA course. He is enjoying the extra time off between class days. He's had a lot of interesting experiences helping out in the Emergency Room in American Fork Hospital. There is a lot of social work that goes on in the ER in addition to treating physical ailments.

I've been working on a second blog just for artwork. I've been trying to organize around the house as well.

Ruth is our little scooter these days. So far she only seems to go in reverse, so we're excited to see when she discovers moving forward. She also rolls around the house. She's working on eating and we've been trying to give here different foods to experiment with (see pictures). She remains an good-natured baby, although she is, as we like to put it, hitting the terrible eight-months, because she now bucks in protest if she doesn't get what she wants.
