First tooth

I can't believe my little three-month-old Lana cut her first tooth today. It seems like the other kids didn't get their first teeth until they were six months old.

Yoga

I have really found a great love for yoga over the last year. It helped me through my pregnancy and it helps me with different stresses and it makes my body feel so great. Since I have had Lana, yoga has been a real blessing. And I absolutely love the new teacher at the gym I go to. I count yoga as one of those great blessings in my life.

Jon's big change

About a week after I had Lana a job opening came up at the corporate office for central Utah water Conservancy District. Jon kept getting the feeling like he should apply for it and everyone kept telling him that they were considering his name even though he hadn't applied yet. The position was for an electrical technician in the O&M department. We went over the pros and cons several times. The pro being a set schedule Monday through Thursday 10 hr shifts. The con being that Jon really wanted to be the maintenance supervisor at the plant one day and had been waiting for that job to open but it would probably be a couple more years before that happened. Also he really loved working in the plant and he loved everybody there. But shiftwork was kind of getting hard on the family. And his body. He went to the temple and prayed about it and felt very strongly that he should apply. After interviews and such he got an offer that he felt was right for our family and he accepted the job. His boss wanted eight more weeks with him, so he didn't start his job until November 3. He has been there a couple weeks and he has really enjoyed it. He is also in school taking a refresher course to on AutoCAD. So we haven't experienced the full benefits of the new schedule yet but it is better than the last eight weeks of swingshift that we did. That was really hard with the new baby and kids in school. Trying to get dinner and homework done and help a fussy baby in the evenings by myself. So I am very excited for a normal schedule. It is Monday through Thursday 6 am to 4:30 pm. We are so grateful for our blessings and we hope that this job will be great for our family.
