Back on the Map..................................... (if you've got one of Missouri)

Most of you are probably wondering what happened to us, but don't fret we are alive and kickin' it Mid-west style. Yep, that's right we are now residence of Kansas City, MO. Who 'da thunk it!? It was an extremely fast move. We, I mean James, got offered a job out here the end of September and since then we

flew out to look for houses
packed our apartment
drove 15 hours with a 2 year old and 4 month old
bought a house (okay a town home, but very roomy)
moved in
and sent James to the Dominican Republic for 7 days

Yeah, wow! But it has been one of the smoothest moves. We have a great new ward and that has helped me a lot. They have a great playgroup and we are doing play school (a joy school type thing) with 7 other moms and tots from the ward. Kaitlyn feels so big! Especially since she goes potty in the toilet, well most of the time. We had a really good week last week! Yeah!

Dillon is such a happy baby! When we take the time to talk or smile at him he makes sure to reward us with his big gummy smile. He's learning to get around some. He rolls everywhere, and most recently he keeps rolling into toys and furniture and getting hurt! The poor guy is always after something. He's thinking about crawling, but hasn't quite figured it out yet. He just started trying to suck his thumb, but I keep shoving the passy in.

Well that's it for the stuff I wanted to journal about them, sorry to bore you with all the little milestones, it's not like they're winning noble prizes or anything, it just fun to sit and think about how fast they're growing.
