Inspired...

OK! I have been inspired by many of you to try to do the blogging thing. So, here goes!

Paul is a reader!! He can read a lot of things, and right now I think his favorite thing to read is Dr. Seusse's Green Eggs and Ham. It's awesome to see your 5 year old dive into reading! He read his own talk in Primary a couple of months ago, and just this weekend in SLC (at Paulines house) he read the wall words in Jessicas room "Did you think to pray?" . On our way home yesterday he kept asking everyone that question. It made us chuckle.
He has also discovered the joy of knock-knock jokes... sort of. Except he doesn't quite understand the punchline trick. He and Nick were giggling like crazy at each others attempt to tell knock knocks yesterday. (Andrew just laughed because the other 2 were laughing.)
Prime example: "Knock, knock"
"Who's there?"
"Don't you get it? I'm a banana!"
We had to laugh. We tried to explain but I'm thinking it's gonna take a little while. Lol.

We just got back from a visit to Primary Childrens Medical Center to see Nick's cardiologist and things are looking pretty much the same with his heart - so far. We are waiting for results to get back from a 24 hour test he had, but generally things look about the same. No change is definately a good thing! We want that tumor to stay the same size (shrinking would be nice, but not likely), and for his heart to keep growing. And speaking of inspiration earlier, I think we saw the work of the Lord in how we scheduled this last visit. It was supposed to have been a month earlier, but we were unable to get in. We've had some scares in that month with Nick being extremely tired and one time even passing out... so it was good to see the doctor AFTER those things had happened and discuss things. Nick absolutley LOVES his cardiologist. He hugs & loves on him, sings him songs, tells him stories, draws him pictures, spells the doctors name, tells all the nurses that Dr. Cowley is "better than Santa Claus" and looks forward for MONTHS to seeing him. Nick asked me for a few days what he could bring to Dr. Cowley - because he wanted to give him a gift.


I guess the most interesting thing to share with everyone is that we are contemplating a move to the East... And hoping that we're being inspired in this endeavor too! We're thinking that we would like to move to Tennessee-- more specifically the Nashville area. It's been a dream of Josh's for a good 15 years and it's feeling like the time might just be right. Nothing has really happened yet in starting the wheels turning, and there are a lot of details to cover, but we think this could be a real possibility for us soon. (You know they say that the humidity out there keeps everyone looking younger, so that's a plus! We could use some anti-aging & anti-stress help! LOL)
