catching up...

It's been awhile. SO...let me catch you all up on the happenings of the Boozell's. We just finished our second shift and it was a long one. It was literally longer than most (by a day) and also just felt long. Lots going on in the cottage :) And once again, I'm horrible at taking pictures. So pics of our boys, the cottage, and our homes are still to come. And of Sydney too...but there's videos below to hold you over :)
We're doing well. We're keeping busy and still learning the ropes. It's been a challenging week but even in the midst of that we still are sure that this is where God wants us and on top of that, where we want to be. We have great boys that make us laugh and keep us on our toes. And this is a job that makes a difference, we're seeing that already. I'm still learning what I can share and what I can't...so over time there will be more details I'm sure.
More news...
1) Our house is officially SOLD!!! We closed on our house yesterday via fax and FedEx overnighted paperwork. It is SUCH a releif to have that finished, pay off some debt, and move forward. What a stress relief!!
2) I've (Linde) had a cold all week. Not fun to be learning a new job, taking care of a baby, and balance that with being sick. I'm getting better but pray for full recovery before we go back to work on Monday :(
3)Sydney is learning to communicate! She's learning baby sign, well at least the sign for "all done" so far. She says mama, dada, night night and waves bye bye. She doesn't do ANY of this consistently...just whenever she wants. BUT it's coming along and it's been exciting to watch her understand language.
4) Sydney has a favorite show. I know, I think it's too early for that too but it's true. One day Josh just put on Nick Jr. to keep her busy for a second and the show Yo Gabba Gabba! was on. She became a fan instantly! Below are a couple videos to her dancing to the "Party in my tummy" video on YouTube. She got a Yo Gabba Gabba shirt from Wal-mart today :) So grandparents looking for Christmas/Birthday ideas, there you go, ha!

So on to the videos...
First, here's Sydney playing. Listen to her after I ask her "what did you find?" She's looking at her donkey and I swear she said donkey. She's a genius.


And here's the dancing to Yo Gabba Gabba part one:


and part two:


and the actual video from Yo Gabba Gabba that she was watching...
