Update

JEREMY:  Has 7 days left of the fall semester WAHOO!!! This semester was focused on pediatrics & well his daughter has made him proud on more than a few occasions :)  Who knew that a pencil grip could cause such excitement! :)  He did fieldwork with Davis School District for a couple of weeks & Service Learning at a private school.  He's learned lots & has had a blast thus far.  I'm so grateful that he found his field of profession without any jumping around!  One good thing about being "held back" a year is he is no longer the class of 2011 which has been given the title SLACKERS apparently they only do enough to get by, instead he'll gradate with the class of 2012 who are way ahead of the 2011 class according to many professors who vent their frustrations to the 2012 class.
   Still working at Benchmark, but come 2011 will NO longer have to work Sundays YAHOO!!  He'll do a double Friday & Saturday & have Sunday to just be home with me! :)  Here's hoping that school doesn't become too busy on Fridays!  Heavenly Father truly does answer prayers I'm soooo grateful for my MANY blessings!!

KIRSTEN:  Loving life, missing Jeremy, and trying to keep busy :)  I still watch Anna 3 - 4 times a week it is so nice having a little variety from just the everyday Lily & I.  Has more of a belly than I did with Lily & totally excited about that!!  However I've also gained as much as I did with Lily & I still have 3 months left not very thrilled about that part...  Not much has changed for me, but I am quite content with that!
Sorry the picture isn't the best I took it with my phone...
LILY:  went to nursery for the first time today!!  She did so great!  I dropped her off & she immediately went to the kitchen they have.  I stayed for the first hour, because there was about 19 kids & 3 Nursery leaders so I played with some of the kids that were having a tough time staying in nursery (not my daughter she couldn't have cared less whether I was there or not!).  It was so much fun & I made so many new friends :)  It was kind of weird though because I was the only one on the floor all the other adults were sitting on chairs or just walking around, maybe there's a rule I wasn't aware off...  Anyway back to Lily she did not take cow or binky to nursery & did great I'm so proud of her!!  She has a great vocabulary some of my favorites though are Uncle Daniel taught her that a horse says neigh & now it's a neighsies & it says bbbbbbb (insert lip sound here).  Thank you is zoot I have NO idea how that one happened, but it sure is cute.  It's so fun listening to her practice & try to talk it also is SOOO nice knowing what she wants. 
  Lily got 12 little Sesame books for her baby shower & she LOVES to read them, well the other day she would pull out a book and say fish & then go find the page that had a fish on it, the next book she'd say messes & then find the messes page it was AMAZING what a smart little peanut.  So basically Lily is the joy of our lives, keeps us laughing, and we couldn't be prouder of her!!  We are so blessed to have as part of our lives!

PD SWEETIE #4:  Name is probably going to be Malachi Clyde Knowles for a few reasons #1) it starts with an M so we can continue in the alphabet J, K, L, M... #2) because of the scripture in Malachi talking about paying tithing & being blessed so much that there is not room to receive it.  I have such a strong testimony of that!  I have seen so many blessings come from paying tithing, that I want to always remember this time in our lives, struggling through school, but still making ends meet.  #3) Clyde is Jeremy's Grandpa Butterfield's name. My last doctor appointment he was 2 lbs 12 oz approx and my due date keeps changing from the 16th of February to the 13th, but the midwife says we'll induce a week early which I don't want unless there is a medical reason!!  That was the WHOLE point of changing doctors bless his heart!!

oh what a cute little peanut (lily and your belly!!) So glad everything is going so well. I too am a fan of that scripture and paying tithing. It is amazing the blessings that come from paying it. Just tell your MW that you don't want to be induced and they should be pretty okay with that. Of course I bet you go by yourself earlier than that. My due date was the 16th too...

Kirsti- You have a cutie pie!!! I was thinking about your baby name! I think you should name him Clyde, so instead of Bonnie and Clyde you have Lily and Clyde the infamous pair!

Hey that would be GREAT if you do come in December, I'm afraid I'm too chicken to drive to Wyoming until the spring thaw :)
