We have seen many blessings in our lives during this trial. Somehow, certainly with the help of Heavenly Father, we have been able to make ends meet and haven't really had to ask for help. Our families have stepped in several times and offered help in various ways. We are truely blessed. We still don't have any real prospects for jobs, but Kris continues to work at finding a job. We heard back from a job in Prescott so hopefully Kris will have an interview with them in the near future. We know that Heavenly Father is blessing our lives and looking out for us. Everything will work out in time. We just keep praying that we will know what we're supposed to do when that time comes!
Kris is staying busy at church. He is the ward financial clerk and the 2nd counsler in the Elders Quorum. Kaylee and I don't see too much of him on Sundays. We have liked having him around at home a lot more, if only it was under different circumstances! He has been working on finishing our fence in our backyard and looking for jobs, of course. I am still in Primary, where I have been since moving back to Payson. I am the CTR 7 teacher. My class was quite large and busy last year, but this year I have 3 girls and 1 boy... it's amazing how different the lessons are. Kaylee is in nursery and loves it! She is trying to potty train and does quite well, on most days. We still have a lot of work to do, but it's a start. We also moved her to a toddler bed, but I'm still not sure if she is ready for that. She gets up quite a few times during the night and comes into our room. It's really wearing on me, so I think we might put her back in her crib and try again in a month or so.
I am still babysitting but not as many kids as I had to start. I am down to 2 kids, but mostly just 1. I have Danica, who just turned 1, Tuesday thru Thursday. She is really good and reminds me a lot of Kaylee when she was that age. I have Kaden, who just turned 2, at various times and days during the week, but not very often. This week, I really haven't watched kids so it's been kind of a nice breather. I have had more time to spend with Kaylee and play with her. She's liked having mom all to herself, but also misses having friends to play with.
Well, I think that's about it for now. I'll try to update and add some pictures in the future. Life has kept us busy. I haven't had nap time to do the things I need to or want to, because I have been taking naps myself, which is also good. Anyways, we hope all is well with each of you and wish you the best. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers in our behalf. We can feel how much of a difference it makes and know that we are loved!
I included the ultrasound pictures. I was 15 weeks and they said they might be able to tell what gender that baby is, but we hadn't decided if we wanted to know or not... and still haven't decided. We didn't find out with Kaylee and that was fun so I guess we'll just have to see before my next ultrasound in February. Four or the ultrasound pictures are in 3-D. It was quite different to see but very neat too. You can see so many bones because the baby doesn't have too much fat on it yet. It's amazing what technology is available now. The second picture is a frontal view where you can see the head and body and also the little arms and legs. The 6th picture is the baby curled in a ball and you can see the spine. The other 4 pictures are the 3-D ones.
