What would an update be without a few pictures of Sophie? She turns 5 months old tomorrow and it is making me hyperventilate a little. She is such a happy baby and such a good girl. What can we say, we're crazy about her!
We finished our basement at the beginning of October right before Sophie was born but I don't think I ever posted pictures so here it is. It has been a huge lifesaver to have a space to hangout with the kids and as a family. I also teach my little singing classes down there and it's perfect. Thanks to all who helped us finish it!
Brock is now my little puzzle boy. One morning he was playing really quietly in his room and I went in and saw him putting together this puzzle all by himself. Ever since then he's been obsessed with doing puzzles. Now he can finish this whole puzzle by himself- and fast! When he wakes up from his nap he always says, "C'mon Momma, build a puzzle!" I love puzzles too so it's fun for us to do together. :)
Luke and Brock going out sledding in the back yard. Luke doesn't get home from work until after it's already dark outside so it's freezing outside but somehow boys don't get cold when they're out playing. Spring is coming and I'm excited for it to stay lighter a little later so they can keep playing outside together without freezing!
"Granty Pants" as Brock calls him, or now, "Elder Pants" entered the MTC last week. You would think after sending two other brothers on missions it would get a little easier but it was rough! They don't let you go inside the MTC anymore, it's just a curbside drop-off now. We went to Brick Oven with everyone and then stopped off at the temple for pictures and saying goodbye. Let's just say there was no shortage of tears.
This picture could make me bawl. Brock absolutely adores Grant and Granty has been such a good friend to Brocko. It was hard trying to explain to Brock that he wouldn't see Granty for 2 years so he needed to say goodbye. Of course he didn't understand. I just hope he doesn't forget about his good buddy. Granty will be an incredible missionary, we are certain of that, and we will miss him so much. I'm so grateful to the men in Brock's life for being a good example to him and serving full time missions. I can't even imagine what it will be like sending Brock on a mission. Luckily I don't have to worry about that for a few more years. Love you Granty, we miss you already!
