Sisters

One of my good friends from high school took these beautiful pictures of the girls while we were in Utah.  She was so great with the girls.  I love them, Erica! 

 

 

 

 

Jane 8 months

Look at this cute little face! Jane is starting to slim down a bit from all her crawling and standing.  We love how she sleeps through the night.  Jane is still loving on the breast milk, especially since she is cutting some of her top teeth.  However, she loves food that she can pick up with her own two hands.  She still only has the two bottom teeth and we are anxiously waiting for those top teeth to break through- hopefully before I fly back to Germany! We flew to Arizona to visit our cousins in Phoenix.  We enjoyed playing in the splash pad, water tubing, the sun, and hiking.  Daddy finally finished his Army course and came to Utah to visit the family.  Jane is having a hard time warming up, but is easily distracted with food or toys.  This months biggest milestone was climbing up the stairs!

Utah for 10 weeks

My time in Utah is shortly coming to a close.  I am dreading flying with my children to Paris and then on to Munich.  They were so well behaved coming to Utah, it's bound to be awful.  It's a good thing Bryan will be there to pick us up and help us adapt to the change.  I really enjoyed my time away from Germany.  I don't know if I will ever get an opportunity to be so close to family for a long period of time and I really enjoyed it.  Here is a list of all the things we were able to accomplish and do while we were in Utah.
