Our first week in Utah...

Just getting settled in and adjusting to the new house and new neighborhood. Here are the highlights of the week:

- I finally got sick. It sounds pessimistic but I always expect to get sick a week or so after a major stressful event. When I was in school, it was after finals...now that I am out of school, it is usually after events like moving and big stressful trips. I can make it though the stress, but as soon as it's over...I crash. 

-Luckily, my mom is coming tomorrow to help me for a few days. I could not have picked a better time to be under the weather! The kids are super excited and I am looking forward to all the fun things that we usually do with my mom (like shopping, shopping, and umm....shopping!). 

-We had our first official BBQ in our new house. We barbecued some tri-tip and completed the meal with crash hot potatoes, pears with warm blue cheese and bacon dip, salad, hummus and pita chips, tortilla chips and salsa, fake sushi, and molten lava cakes for dessert. It was quite the spread and, of course, it was way too much food, even for the neighbors that we invited over, but I'm good with leftovers.

-This evening, we gave the kids a much needed bath. First Caton got Jack out of the tub and dried, diapered, and dressed him. Then he got Layla out and as he was dressing her, Jack decided he wasn't quite done with his bath. I was cleaning up toys when I heard a splash in the bathroom. There was Jack...just sitting in the undrained tub--fully dressed. That little monkey!
