Busy, Busy

Sort of funny story with this picture. We still had stuff in storage at Nuttall Hall and finally went to get it. We loaded up the van and Denali was playing in the front. We shut the back door and Denali pushed the auto lock button with the keys inside. She didn't even know that she was locked inside. We were knocking on the windows trying to get her to push the unlock button and she would smile and push the lock button again. Greg caught a ride back to our house to get my keys, luckily we didn't lock our house. But while he was gone, Denali tripped and hit her face on the dashboard. She was crying and putting her arms out to me and saying, "uppy!" I almost started crying telling her that I couldn't get her uppy until she opened the door for me. It was a funny, frustrating and sad moment.

We still are having a fun and busy summer. My childhood friend, Jill, came to Utah for a visit and we were able to visit with her and her two kids. It was really fun. And Lexi talked me into getting a puppy that only lasted two days. Having a puppy feels like bringing home a newborn baby, except they don't sleep as much. Greg had told me not to do it and next time I will definitely listen to him. Lexi has been enjoying playing with our neighbors and I have just been trying to keep my yard alive and Denali happy. We had a yard sale and made a little money, mostly we just got rid of some clutter which feels nice. I can't believe it is August. The leadership students come back next week and Greg will be even busier at work than he already is. I have decided not to take classes this fall, because we are expecting another baby in March (which was another reason I decided I wasn't ready for a puppy). I am like 7 weeks and haven't been to the first doctor appointment. But sickness has already set in. Ugh.
