Nashville Spring

We have been in Nashville for over six months and have been enjoying the time we have here. They have very mild winters compared to Utah-virtually no snow at all. But they do have a lot of rain. Recently we have also had many tornado warnings. Fortunately we have not been affected by them at all-except for Curt who had to wait for his bus 45 minutes in the rain and was not thrilled or dry at all by the time he did arrive home.

We have loved the nice spring days and have loved to go outdoors and enjoy the sunshine only found sp0radically in between rain showers.

Joshua has recently been learning so many new words and using them all the time. Finally about a month ago he started to call Anna by her name instead of just "A". He constantly refers to her as "His Anna." When we hear him say something for the first time, we usually do not understand it. I guess we are just slow. Some new phrases, he picks up quickly. The last couple of days he has constantly been telling me what a rough day he has had. We have been trying to convince him he really had a fun day.

Anna is almost a year old. She is becoming more and more mobile every day. This means she is becoming more and more interested in her surroundings and finding out about everything. She has been dumping everything out and I am ready to invest in more cupboard door locks. She also has a beautiful smile. She is usually very happy and will have a big smile for any one who spends a minute working for it. This last week along with a horrible cold that both Joshua and Anna caught, Anna cut her top front three teeth. She is still working on more. She loves to use them on anyone or anything near her-they are razor sharp!
