We're still here

I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted.


Well, since April...
I (Andi) worked for two months at B&W on their proposal team and helped with two large-scale proposals. That was an exciting job but the hours were rough. I worked 6 or 7 days (70+ hours) a week. I was so exhausted when it was over and I am now just home with the kids until a new job comes along. I was happy for the break at home. The problem is that I forgot how being home isn't really a "break"! ...so now I'm looking forward to going back to work. However, this time I will look for a job with normal hours.

Joey starts the 3rd grade on Monday, Aug. 25. He had to have six 5-subject notebooks. I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of homework for me to help him with. I'm not looking forward to that. Joey is very excited about school starting and he keeps saying how he loves to learn and he loves school. I imagine all of that will change after 2 weeks.

Evan is 9 months now. He is 23+ lbs. and 28+ inches. He is crawling really good and pulling up to stand. He hasn't stood without holding on yet, but I see him trying and he's real close. I am slowly rearranging the house after I see what all he can reach and get into. Today, I moved the cat food and water to a higher place. I was tired of cleaning up water after Evan finds it. Evan fell off the bed after a nap a few days ago and scratched his nose up. No more naps on the bed!

Jonathan is still working and building Halloween stuff. He came up with a name for our yard haunt, Grim Hollow. He talked about wanting a website, so I decided to make him one. I didn't know if I could do it, but I have managed to get one started. It's a long ways from being done, but it is coming along... it is www. grimhollowhaunt.com
Jonathan updates his blog on there quite often and he already has a lot of fans!
