Eric got back from Michigan unsuccessful. So we will be staying in Utah for now and moving in with my parents. We haven't been paid in 3 months, so even if we do get paid we will have to recover from the debt we have incurred during this past little while. We are sad that the economic state of our country isn't favorable enough so that Eric can finish his PhD in Canada. Maybe that dream will be fulfilled at some future date, but not now. Eric is very sad, he loves his current job and was hoping they would be able to continue to be our employer while we were finishing school.

Other than our ugly financial state, Emma and Evan have gotten colds. Which scares me--since Emma already went to the hospital this year for 3 days when she was sick with what appeared to be just a cold, and Evan is just so little.

Evan is officially 5 months old now, and he is so wonderful. He laughs and makes lots of baby cooing noises. He's going to be a talker I think. He also wiggles a lot. I think he will be very active as he gets older.

Emma thinks she is the mom and she is only 2. She is getting very good at putting sentences together and expressing her needs. Her favorite shows are Toy Story and Wall-e.

We have been staying at my mom's house for the past week, but we are home now. And we will be packing our apartment and plan to leave officially by the end of January (though we will most likely move in with my mom sooner than that because we can't live in boxes).
