Let's have a little update...a'ight?

I guess it's time for another update...

We are moving into our new house. We've been here almost a month, but are still living out of boxes because *someone* keeps picking up overtime... I will post pictures when we get everything situated. I promise!

John is working part time and being a soccer dad. He's awesome! He's getting the hang of doing all the little things that make a home run smoothly, and he's doing a really good job with it.

I'm working as a lab tech for a mining company here in southeastern AZ. My lab processes production samples from different company mine sites all over North America and exploration samples from North America and abroad. I'm really enjoying my work and am learning a lot about the company and about all the practical applications of the things I studied in college. I'm looking forward to learning more and to moving up within the company.

Collin is enjoying 4th grade at my hometown elementary school. Several of his teachers were my teachers when I was in 4th grade, and they were old back then....sooooo, that means they are dinosaurs now! He is playing soccer and saving his money for a fancy, schmancy bmx bike.

Cameron is in 3rd grade at the same school as Collin. He seems to be enjoying it so far. He's also playing soccer. He didn't want to, but John put his foot down and told me to force him to play. I'm glad I listened to him because playing has really helped Cammy's confidence. He's also saving for a bmx bike. He's also slimming down and growing again. When I bought his soccer cleats, they were size 6. He's barely 8. Holy cow, he's going to be a big boy!

Caitlyn just started 1st grade. She really likes it, but is concerned that none of her classmates have manners. Apparently, they all start eating lunch before everyone has been served, and nobody says yes ma'am/ no ma'am when addressing the teacher. She has a bit of twang in her voice still. I didn't really notice it when we lived in Texas, but now that we're here, I do. It's cute :-)

Caleigh is doing some testing for pre-school Monday. If she gets in, she'll go TWTh from 8-10. She's really excited! The best part (for her anyway) is she'll get to ride the "dus". The pre-school she will go to is a special needs pre-school. They will help her with her speech since she has a pretty significant delay.

I guess that's us in a nutshell! Hopefully I will update sooner next time. Maybe the next one will even include pictures!
