Update: Megan style

Update time!! Exciting stuff coming your way from the Huff house (not really, but thinking it's exciting is the only way to make it through winter here)! The three of us seem to be managing fine during our first New England winter. Actually it's much more mild than I imagined and since some lady on the news last night said this is the worst winter she's ever seen here, I'm guessing we'll be able to handle it. It's funny because at church/Wal-mart/anywhere we go, people are always asking us how we like New England winters and telling us we'll be tougher after wards. Well...Scott and I don't even wear our coats most of the time, so no, we haven't had a hard time. It is icier, I'll give them that. Oh, and Topher is always bundled up, so there's no child abuse going on :)

Topher is doing pretty good. He's getting so big and his eyes are still blue!! I love that he's awake for more of the day (I just wish he had an easier time taking naps) and he has so much more fun with his toys and books than he used to. He really likes the Indiana Jones Mickey that we bought him when we went to Disneyland this past summer. The stuffed animal is also really smart, keeping Topher from saying things he shouldn't :)




Scott has started Spring Semester at UCONN and isn't extremely busy yet. I say yet because we have some friends who are a year ahead of Scott in the program and they seem to be going crazy, they're so busy. He does have some good classes though and he's enjoyed doing what work he's had.

Note the boxes Craig and Diane. We just barely got them out of the living room. Thanks again for the package!!

Scott will be going to an internship fair soon and then hopefully we'll have a better idea of what our schedules will be like for the next who knows how long! Because he been working hard (or hardly working :), we went to Applebees today for lunch, where we sat and waited and waited for a waiter to come by. This one waiter kept eyeing our table but almost seemed too shy to come over, which was odd. We just stared at him and then left (don't worry, we got food somewhere else so we didn't starve :). Some people are so odd!! Although most people are really nice out here. Including this random guy who seemed to show up out of nowhere at Wendy's earlier this week and started talking to us about Topher. All we have to do is take Topher somewhere and we make lots of friends.

I haven't been up to much lately, just trying to keep up with Topher. He's been sleeping well at night, but I'm still tired all the time. I have a feeling I'll be even more tired soon because we just discovered that he's going to be cutting some teeth any day (that shark video makes more sense now :). I just got called to be the Relief Society pianist and I'm pretty excited about it, although it's interesting that one calling is with young boys and the other is with adult women. Fun times :). Wednesday, Scott had a snow day from UCONN (pretty cool huh?) and it was great to just hang out and talk to another adult!


Sometimes we don't act like adults :)

That's the news for now!! Now maybe I'll go work on a random quirk list too...or chase Topher :).

I was always surprised how many people would just come up and start talking to me when I had Will. And then it would be weird going to the store without him and I felt like an outcast.

Maybe the waiters there are like in London. We pretty much had to get up and go ask for someone to come take our order. And forget about refills.

Pianist huh? How come you have two callings? Or is that how they do things outside of mormon hub?

Megan said...

Yeah, our ward is pretty small, so most people have two (or more) callings.

I wish I hadn't had Topher at Wal-mart the other day. I was changing him in the bathroom and I think the toilets scared him and he screamed!! Three or four cashiers had stopped scanning and just waited for us to come out. It was prettty embarrassing!!!
