New Toy!


Things have been going good for our family down here. The weather has been getting warmer, up into the nineties. The natives tells us it doesn't get worse than that. The warm weather hasn't bothered me yet, or the humidity during the day. But at night, it doesn't cool off. For some reason that seems to bother me more than the heat during the day. Our new ward is amazing! We have been invited to Sunday dinner with ward members for the past two weeks. It is awesome that complete strangers would welcome us into their home.

Tyler is enjoying his job. The office he works for recently moved him into an Ortho chair; he loves it! I have had the opportunity to stay home with Isabella. For the time being we feel like she is too young to enroll in daycare. We also aren't sure if anyone in the ward would be willing to watch her, which means I get to stay home and play with her all day. It has been awesome! (Thank you Tyler)

Isabella got a new toy this week. She now has a walker. She loves trying to sit up; she thinks she is such a big girl! Bella is at such a fun age. She is starting to laugh and she smiles at almost everything. She recently learned how to blow spit bubbles (it is so funny to watch).

Tyler and I also got a new toy this week. We have never purchased a television since we have been married. We always received hand-me-downs from our parents. (Thanks mom and dad, Cory and Sheryl)So when we received our stimulus check we decided we would stimulate the economy by buying a television.

It has been a difficult transition for me to leave my friends and family. I know that I will see you all often. It is still hard to start over in an unfamiliar town. I love you all, and hope to visit with everyone when we come up for Mindy's wedding. Love-Dannielle

I have been cheeking your blog regularly, I was starting to get worried. :) I am glad you are doing good. I can't believe how Bella has grown.

We are glad you made it down there safely. We are sad we didn't get to see you guys before we left. I will convince JaCee to take a trip down there. Tyler don't worry, soon Danielle will make you stay home and she will want to go to work!
