Well, we are finally moved into our new house! I love it! I love the location, the colors, the size, the fact that we don't have crazy neighbors banging the other side of our wall!!! I love everything! I also love our new ward. I think I can honestly say that I don't think I have ever been welcomed into a new ward quite like this one! Everyone has been so eager to meet us and cater to our every need. It has been wonderful! I know that most wards start out good, and then you realize there are cliques, but I really hope that this one isn't that way! I was just amazed at fast and testimony meeting today, listening to the testimonies that were born. I really feel like we are part of a choice group of latterday saints.
my other big news is that Jarom started crawling, toddling along furnature, is cutting his first tooth (wow!), and is getting weaned off his binky all in the last week. He is so cute when he crawls, it is a rather robotic movement, but it is more than obvious that he would rather be walking, as he only crawls as long as he has to to get to something that he can pull himself up to. And as far as the new tooth thing goes... I am not sure what to do. He is so tempramental! I can only hope that he will get over that soon. When he is happy it is wonderful, but he throws a tantrum like a two year old. The weaning of the binky is going well. I wanted to get him off it before he hit a year, and in the last couple of weeks Thayne and I have realized how rediculously dependant we all are on it. He can't do anything without his binky either in his hand or his mouth. So far, he is down to only using it at night and at nap time, which is a relief, and I think it will be easy from here, since we made it through our first sunday without it. we'll just take it one step at a time.

Such a cute picture! We have yet to get any professional pictures taken of Nathan and he's a year old!
Congrats on the new house and new ward. And I don't know if you've tried infant tylenol for the tooth thing, but that (as well as orajel) have been life savers for us. Nathan was waking up at night because he was in pain, but giving him that stuff before he went to bed meant he slept through the night once again. :)
Hey! I'm so glad that things are going so well with the move!! I hope we can do that soon, but I'm sure it'll have to wait for awhile after we have the baby. Love you!
Your family is so cute! I haven't seen pictures of you since Nauvoo. I guess the fun thing about blogs is that they're a great way to catch up.
I'm glad everything worked out well with moving into your new house and that your ward is so nice. I can't wait until Derrick and I get to the point where we can move out of student housing in a few more years.
Kiama, I love the pictures and your blog! I'm Emily (Grow) Shelton and am catching up with everyone now. Rachel had me set up a blog site so I'm "in" now! Good luck with the teething and everything!
Kiama, I have been looking for you since Nauvoo! This is Megan (Mikesell) Blood. Look at you, all married and a mommy...I'll be joining the mommy ranks soon myself. I'm glad the new house is great--we're moving into ours in April and I can't wait!
