Good Stuff

Hi People… or should I say Carolyn (cuz I don’t think anyone else checks blogs much anymore). HA!

Since September… Nat and I moved to Folsom, CA. We are in a ward with my parents and two of my sisters. Another sister and my brother are within a half hour. I love it. I love the weather, I love the hills, and I love being able to take Jo to see her cousins whenever the heck we feel like it. Nat’s adjusting slowly, but he’s liking playing basketball and he’s been working like crazy, so he’s doing alright.

Jo talks a lot these days. I love it. She’s SO little, but today she said, “Look at this, mom.” with awesome pronunciation. So cute. She also says, “Oh cute” a lot. Here are some photos from the Sacramento Zoo.

We do miss the land at the cabin in Utah. It is really beautiful and Nat loves to fish there. Of course we also miss Nat’s parents too. They are so fun to be around. Speaking of, this Christmas visit has been fun. It’s been an adventure because it’s gotten down to like -5 degrees a few times and we lose power for a few hours every few days, and there have been two giant snow storms. We’ve played games by candlelight, drunk a lot of hot chocolate, and made creative snow people (snowmen, snow-women, and snow-children.) Jo likes the snow, but her boots hurt her so she’s conflicted about whether or not to go play in it. She has discovered how incredible Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses is, so that’s on her mind most of the time. She might be getting surgery on her eyelid soon, so I’m a little terrified, but also looking forward to having it over with. She’ll be able to see better and when she meets other kids, the first thing they say will no longer be “What happened to her eye?” So, that’ll be nice.

Anyway, life is good. I’m liking the winter wonderland around me, but I’m also looking forward to getting outside in California again. Happy New Year everybody!
