HOLY @#*%!!! (CRAP)--WE FINALLY UPDATED!!!

OKAY, OKAY, We all know that I really suck at updating our blog, So here's a really long update about what's been going on in the Claridge house since the holidays. Connor and Cooper have both had birthdays, Connor is now 2, and Coop is now 1--I can't believe how time flies. I never would have thought having two little boys would by so much fun, granted it's a headache at times, but they are pretty hilarious. The biggest and best news is that Connor is now offically a Claridge. His adoption was final the 22nd of January, and on March 21st we had him sealed. That was by far one of the neatest experiences ever. All of my kids were so good! The temple is like magic! Callie was so excited to be able to go in, and I think she is old enough to remember just how neat it was. Cooper was even quiet!! Connor was so cute during the sealing, he just looked back and forth between Chris and I with his big smile, it was amazing-thanks again to all who came and supported us-our families rock! Moving on--literally. The end of March, Dr. Huang (the dentist I have worked for the last 6 years) announced that he had sold his practice, the next month he sold his house and as of next week he will be moving to Provo. The Doctor who bought the practice is nice, but not really someone I want to work with for any length of time. So when my brother-Jared--graduated in May from Dental school and he asked if I would come work for him, we said YES!!! Tennessee is really pretty, and yes I know it is humid in the summer, but we are ready for a change of scenery for a while. The housing market has kind of ruined our chances of selling our house, so we are going to rent it for a year or so and see what the market is doing. So, if anyone knows someone looking to rent a house in Mesa, in a really great ward, send them our way. We would like to be out of our house by the end of the year, if not sooner. I just finished all the paperwork to have my dental hygiene license switched to Tennessee-way too much fun!! The kids are great. Cooper is walking all over the place--or staggering if you want us to be accurate, but it's pretty cute to watch. Connor is getting pretty close to standing all by himself-which is huge for him. Callie is out of school and already bored of summer-if anyone wants to rent a 7 yr old for a couple of weeks, let me know!! Chris is still going to school and absolutely loving it-especially the staying up all night doing homework while all the kids are in bed. We are looking forward to going to see Sue in July on the beautiful island of HAWAII!!!-I'll definitely update after that trip, as we will have some awesome pictures. And that is all the new and exciting news for our family in a nutshell. Hope you all are doing great--as Jani would say, Love ya lots, bye!!
