Picking it Up

I'll just go ahead and pick up where our lives are now. I'm pretty sure my SIL Liz is the ONLY person in the world who checks this blog, BUT she deserves an update, especially since she asked for one.

Lots of cousin and family time lately, which the girls have been LOVING. 

Homeschool is going well, and the girls are all excited about their progress this year, especially Sicily. I find notes all over the house with her writing...and notes with permanent marker on cabinets.

Daddy got to go to Utah for his brother Jon's wedding. All 9 Steele kids were there! I'm so glad he got to go, but the girls and I miss him a ton, especially me. I love my Mathieu. He got all of us BYU shirts while he was there, and lots of treats.

We've been working on a few projects around our new house, and are set to close on our old house at the end of April. 

The prospect of Spring and warmer weather makes all of us happy, although our winter this year hasn't been bad at all. 

Delainey has made tons and progress with regaining use of her arm that broke back in October. She graduated from Physical Therapy and we are so thankful she's had a good recovery.

I found the greatest curly hair product in the entire world. It's called DevaCurl. I have tried SO MANY products for my hair, and this is hands down the best. The picture of my curly hair  in this post was second day after wearing it back in a ponytail for the afternoon and evening. Usually with curly hair if you put it in a ponytail you have to commit to that for the entire day. It'll look crazy after you take the hair elastic out. But not with DevaCurl!!!

Pap and Joann came to visit for a couple days, and we had lots of fun...and Pap rested a lot ;). Sicily got Pap's round brush stuck in her hair. She was bawling because she thought it would be stuck in there forever. I'm confident she won't do that ever again with a round brush.

Sicily begged to get her ears pierced and I gave in. She also does her own hair every day. I gave in to that, too. Gotta pick my battles. Sicily is also quite the cuddler. She loves linking arms with people, and holding hands...and putting her cold hands and feet on my exposed skin.

Londyn started eating food, got constipated, we gave her an enema, it was awful, and now i'm strictly breastfeeding again. We went to see our friend, Anna, in her school's play, Mary Poppins. There's a picture of the girls with roses behind their back to surprise Anna. 

Tis the season of Daddy/Daughter Dances:
