Finally all settled in St. Louis

I can't believe we have been in St. Louis for over a month now. Jeff is enjoying his residency here. He is currently on ER rotation and has been sowing up all sorts of things, and diagnosing lots of stuff. He works long hours, but he is learning a lot. Laurie loves to swim--she is getting so good. She can dive to the bottom of the shallow and get torpedos and swim in the deep, except she hasn't quite figured out how to stop and breathe and then keep going. She rides her bike while I run about 2-3 miles. She has to slow down for me, except she doesn't like going up hills. She is really excited to be starting preschool in 2 weeks. She will be going three days a week for 2 and a half hours. Jack is such a good boy. He still loves to kill bugs for me. He has some pretty bad excema that we are trying to get control of--poor kid. He is also going to start preschool just two days a week. We just got Jack a new bike and he is getting pretty good at it. He is also working on making friends. Jeremy is a delight. He finally stopped hitting me!!! And he almost holds still when you change his bum!! I thought those two things would never happen. He went to nursery for the first time last sunday. I stayed for an hour the left and he didn't even know I was gone. He loves playing with Laurie and Jack, but they would rather not play with him since he wrecks a lot of their stuff, but they are good most of the time. He has a new fixation with his Daddy and as soon as Jeff gets home Jeremy is attached at the hip. He is really good at making animal sounds. And he started saying lots of nonsense words. You ask him a question and he will rattle off a sentence, but I can't make our any real words. He won't keep his shoes on in the car. Does everyone elses kids do that at a certain stage?? It drives me crazy. It seems like Jack just stopped. I have found lots of new places to run. I push my kids almost every day. My shoulder was injured flying home from Utah so I've been going to a chiropractor three times a week and doing physical therapy. I hope it get better soon. We have found so many fun things to do here and it's all free. We have been to the Children's Museum a couple of times, the zoo a couple of times, and childrens garden a few times, the dinosour park, the butterfly house, the train store, we go to a really awesome park with a water fountain. We've been to a carousel, and we have a pool within walking distance. I must say my taxes are well spent. We love it here, but miss our friends in Virginia and elsewhere. Pictures coming soon. Take Care

Those are such cute pics, I love them. I miss you guys, I wish you were still closer so we could come see you. Jeremey looks different every time I see him, he is getting big. Want to sign up for the Ogden Marathon and fly home for it? I am honestly thinking about it and I think you should do it with me :)
