Update on life

I haven't updated for awhile about our everyday life. So here it goes...

Jared is extremely busy with school, 2 church callings, institute president, being a dad, and a husband. He does a great job balancing them all. He is rockin' medical school. He has started studying for boards-which he will take in June. The end of June he will start rotations for the next 2 years. We have decided to move our family to San Antonio to do most of his rotations for 3rd year. He will start with Internal Medicine for 12 weeks. It will be nice for Jared to be in a hospital getting the experience.

I stay at home with the girls. We have a lot of fun at home. Some days are great and other days are not so fun but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love being a mom to these 2 little girls. The weather has been great here. We try to play outside everyday. I think I have the whole "2 kids thing" down. I just have to use my time very wisely. I have learned that the house doesn't always have to be clean. Spending time with my girls is more important right now. My calling in church is the young moms coordinator- which means I plan play dates each week. It's been fun! I want to start running again on a regular basis. I'm hoping to run a 5k in May then work my way up to a 10k, then hopefully a 1/2 marathon.

Hallee is a busy bee. Her attention span is very short these days. We go from playing with play dough, to coloring all within 5 minutes. She loves to play outside. She is very social and loves to play with her friends. Every morning she wakes up asking to go bye bye. She is still a terrible sleeper. Maybe one day she will sleep through the night more than once a week. I think we need to buy a mini treadmill and have her walk on it for 2 hours before bed to get rid of all her energy.

Mckenna is as sweet as can be. She really is the best baby. She just hangs out, eats, and sleeps. She puts herself to sleep without crying. She doesn't like to be held while she sleeps. So hopefully we will have one good sleeper. I'm still having to supplement with formula- I will breastfeed as long as I can. She rolls over. She is a very strong little girl. She is always trying to sit up. I wish she wasn't growing up so fast.

We are loving life in Maryland. We have been blessed with such great friends, and a wonderful ward. We have loved living here but are excited for a new adventure in Texas. Hopefully not so much traffic and not so many trees. :)
