Home again:
We are home now, here in Des Moines. Both kids are doing really well. Liza is loving the ward here and is already claiming her place in the nursery with her fists. Thats right, belted some little boy who was hitting her. He later refused to hold her hand in ring around the rosey. (he learned his lesson) Alex is getting to be on a schedual and is now going 7 hours between feedings at night. Giving me about 6 hours of sleep at a time. (I am so excited) We had a great time in Calgary and then in SLC. We already miss everyone. I am still triing to get unpacked from vacation, but I keep getting sidetracked by all the other things that need to be put away. I just want to be moved in to our house again. This week is orentation for Brent and they have several picnics and things that families are invited to. I have joined the spouse group and foud 4 other girls in our ward whos husbands are starting DO school this week. There are 2 other girls who husbands start Pediatry this week too. Alex is cooing now, and smiling too. He gets bigger every day! More pictures to come soon.

Grandma Wall I can hardly wait to see Alex smile and hear him use his voice. I am counting the days to the white coat ceremony. Mom
