The Tug

Every few months I feel the tug to document life and my little family here in my blog. I suppose these days blogs are a bit antiquated. Particularly when used for purely journaling purposes. Most of my peers seem to document their families on Instagram and if they're really serious about things, they'll print their posts for the year in a bound book. Here I am though, continuing to write in this digital journal. The holidays have now come to a close. We are 4 months into 2022...how the heck did that happen? We have been coming out of our Covid Caccoon a bit more; seeing friends and family. Hosting gatherings. Attending gatherings. *GASP* Prior to coming out of this caccoon Scott did contract the dreaded bug. The C****...the Rona... none of the rest of us got it and afterwards the numbers in Utah plumetted so, we decided it might be time to live again. Anywho, 2022 has started with a bang. Scott and I went to see Hamilton, I took a pole dance class with some friends, I've been going to weekly sociology class, We hosted a neighborhood pancake breakfast (just for fun), we attended a family super bowl party, we hosted a neighborhood "pie party" on 3/14, we went to Lava Hot Springs with Scott's family, we hosted friends for dessert, we hosted different friends for St Patrick's Day, we attended my twin cousnin's joint birthday party, we attended two Jazz games, Scott saw "School of Rock" at Hale Center Theatre, we attended the BYU Singers Reunion Concert and reception, we attended grandma Jean's birthday party, I got away to Midway for an overnight trip with some girlfriends (I pumped almost 30 oz of milk while I was gone from Clara!), Max and Patch started soccer, Patch started piano, we celebrated Patrick's birthday (rather quietly with just one of his friends Maverick), Patrick attended the birthday party of one of his classmates...we have been BUSY! Moreover, my littles continue to grow and change so much all the time. Their personalities aren't changing so much- I think they are who they are for the most part- but they're learning and growing so much. They're asking questions. We are all making lots of mistakes and apologizing lots. Clara is the only one out of all of us that is perfect (that includes the dog. Dinah is far from perfect). Clara is developping one flaw though- SHE HAS 2 TEETH COMING IN!!! She's starting to bite down pretty hard when she nurses but she's still basically perfect. :) Those are my quick thoughts and updates. Nothing clever or sentimental to close out. Shocking, I know.
