Caught in the act

For all of you who haven't been around little Nathan recently, he is mischeivous and loves attention. He pulls over his toy basket, loves electrical cords/wires/and strings of all kinds, and is now slapping his hand on his dinner tray and other objects just to make noise. I'm pretty sure that he knows he's been caught in the act in this picture.

Books

Nathan loves to read (or be read to at least). He has a plethera (and yes, I DO know what a plethera is) of books to choose from. He has Dr. Seuss's ABC book, The Foot Book, and a new favorite - Go, Dog, Go! (Grandpa reads that one the best). So with many more books to choose from, our little Nathan is soon going to be a literature genius.

The Work Load

Living in Georgia has its upsides and downsides. Seth is still waiting to hear back from the CDC about the internship and no one else does winter internships that he's checked with, so we're waiting for the summer to roll around. Being around family is great too, and they take good care of us. Honorable mention goes to the warm weather and sunny skies while it can be equally bad with the wind and rain that keeps us inside. We of course miss all our friends that we've made and are trying to make new ones here, though with everyone having "real jobs and lives" it makes it a little more difficult. Katrina was extended a job position at the hospital she's working at since a nurse is quitting and she has been doing such a great job. If worst comes to worst at least she can work there for a bit before we head back to Rexburg. We hope Seth will hear from the CDC soon and we can have a better plan for the future.

The Latest

So the big news around here is the flu that is going around. Seth got it first and was out of commision for at least three days. He then got better and the rest of the family got sick. Poor little Nathan didn't get what Dad had, but he got a stuffy nose and couldn't breathe while sleeping or eating and had a terrible fit of it all. And now Mom is sick and exhausted from having to watch after everyone else.
