Playing catch up

We haven't ever put up a blog about our family before, so we may have to do some back dating to catch up. To date, Kreg and I have been living in Juneau, Alaska for over a year and a half. We really love it here, but we miss all of Kreg's family back home in SLC! Tara's family, or at least her parents, still live in Juneau though, and we enjoy being able to see them often.

Kreg works as a Behavioral Health Associate for a company called Juneau Youth Services. He works at a residental treatment facility guiding kids who are in the program on how to manage and maintain their behavior in society. It is very fullfilling work, but stressful sometimes.

Tara is a stay at home mom right now, but she is getting ready to go back to teaching preschool. A lady in our ward owns a child care facility, and we have worked with her before. Ideally, Tara would like to run her own program out of our home, but we aren't ready to get that started yet.

Luke is closing in on is first birthday, in just over a month! He has been crawling and standing while holding on the things for some time, but just this week, he stood all by himself for the first time, and also took several steps for the first time! We were so proud we could burst! He is the center of our lives, and we are very proud of efverything he does.

Also, we still have our cat Milo, who may not be our child exactly, but we love him anyway. Luke adores him, and he tolerates Luke, so it's a working relationship.

So, that's us in a nutshell. Just to get started.
