Still here . . .

When we got home from Europe, we were committed to continuing the blog and posting about the things that we're up to. We were convinced that life at home would still be worth blogging about, and although the pictures are far less exciting, life is still plenty interesting. So why haven't we posted?


Well, we started school (Josh and Janae) and moved into a new apartment, and we've been pretty well consumed with everything else that goes along with school and apartment stuff since then. But, things are going well for us, and they just keep getting better.
Janae started her class work in the Masters of Public Policy program here at BYU. Josh started classes a week or so before that. We've been able to work out our schedules so that we can watch Ainslie most of the time. She gets to come to a class or two doing the week, and we're very grateful to Josh's mom and our sister-in-law Karrie for their help in taking care of Ainslie a few times a week. It's great to be close to family that supports us with our school work.

Aside from school and packing we've been busy with other things too. Like trying to find new furniture to replace the pillows we've been sitting on in the living room (we decided with the help of our volunteer moving crew that it wouldn't be worth it to move our rather hefty couch to our new second floor apartment, and off to the dump it went). Ainslie's been working on sucking her toes, and we've all been enjoying a good episode of Antiques Roadshow when we can (we don't have the fancy cable anymore).

We also decided to give in and start paying for an internet connection at home to make homework easier to do. Now we can google, email, blog, and everything else from the comfort of our own living room. So, now that we're connected, there will definitely be more to come. Stay tuned . . .

Josh and Janae, yes please keep blogging. I got your link off the mission website and have enjoyed seeing your pictures and imagining a day when Mikayla and I will be able to be as cool as you. We also have a blog that you can check out if you'd like. jamesandmikayla.blogspot.com

Ah! Hello Chandlers! I am so happy to see you are a part of the blogging world. Your family is so adorable and I can't believe how big Ainslie is! Good luck with your new semesters at school!
