Update on the Brown Team -Sent this to Abi on the Mission!

Allie is now all over the place. She is my fastest mover. Yesterday she went from our front door into our play room which is like 25 feet. She is so much like Lindi when she was little in the fact that she has to always be discovering something new, I am out of ideas of what else I can let her play with. She is always moving...never stops; this is one of the reasons I think she is so small...5th percentile in weight or less. She just had 2 teeth pop through on Thursday, which wasn't enjoyable. Allie loves REAL PEOPLE food, she struggled to eat at first but now is a champ. I can now give her tons of stuff; tonight she had waffles for dinner.
Lindi is really into coloring. She is a perfectionist with not going out of the lines. She has a "slow and steady gets the job done" - crafty side. I have loved teaching her pre-school this year because I have seen how she learns compared to the other kids...her strengths and weaknesses. Lindi is my biggest helper, I didn't know a 4 year old could do so much, it is so nice to have an extra set of hands.
Trey is such a trooper. His arm hasn't slowed him down- he is always on the go. He went to our Fathers and Sons this weekend with Lorin which was on a lake, boating for 2 days straight. Trey is a total Daddy's boy. He won't come to me for anything unless Lorin is at work - Treys favorite people are #1his Dad #2 Mimi ( my mom) and #3 Emily ( my sister) I think he has them wrapped around his finger because he can get all 3 of them to do whatever he wants ... and he doesn't like me because I don't let him get away with stuff. It is still a major struggle to get him to go to bed. Tonight he screamed at his door... and when we finally came to check on him he was fast asleep on the floor -right as you walk in.
Lorin is quite sore because he went boating Thu, Fri, and Sat...and wants to go Monday too.
Lorin is also excited because this is his last week of teaching seminary for the year. Both he and the Seniors are ready for summer.
Saturday I taught a class for our stake Faith in God Activity.(8-11 yr old girls) It was on the Holy Ghost...I taught the class for 30 min 5x. I have a new respect for teachers. I was so tired and confused with which class I taught what. Overall it went well and I'm glad it is over. Next Lorin and I are training to hick the Half dome in Yosemite national Park. It will be a fun day trip to take with the youth of our ward.
There is an update on the Brown Team

I came across your site and I hope you don't mind me peeking in! I can't believe she is crawling!!! Ashlyn is moving around but I'm not sure if I would call it a crawl. It's more like the wave! She gets up on her hands and knees, pushes forward and hit the carpet. Then, she starts over. Time flies so fast!

holy cow--Allie looks a lot like Trey. And poor little Trey with a broken arm--that's no fun! I feel for you with the sleeping thing. We had to put one of those safety handles on the inside of Halle's door so she couldn't get out. EXHAUSTING.
Tell Lorin I'm jealous of all the boating--how fun!
