i have a confession to make...i've been avoiding my blog updates :o( i know, i know...it's a terrible crime, and i'm sorry. truth be told, i've been really going through a rough patch lately, and i had a hard time bringing myself to post upbeat, happy updates when i felt so lousy. on top of that, we have continued to be wicked busy lately. but we have been having fun, and i finally have some good news to report. plus, my pictures are really backing up...so that combination has led us to this post!
hanging out
she loves wearing these "bedhands" that yiayia made her. unfortunately she has been stretching them out, but she put this one on all by herself.
chocolate goatee from eating ice cream
wearing her new goggles and john deere shirt from gamma and gampa (or gampa and gampa as she says lately)gardening (aka weeding)
i HATE weeding as it turns out. i can only ever get around to weeding this one little corner of our landscaping. i just got brave enough to look around the side of the house, and well...i'm going to be spending a lot of time outside today. here is thalia sweating it out with me the other morning.
the pants were her idea.swimming at kristy's pool
chris keeps trying to get her to go underwater but she laughs too much.going to bulls games (go bulls!)
it was SO hot the other night. the sweat in her hair was after only being at the game for 15 minutes!on top of all this excitement, i was offered a permanent position on my team last week! :o) that means we really get to stay here, and that there is no chance of me going back to the field. it also means we won't be heading back to michigan, but that was kind of the idea. i get to work on the same team, but won't be doing the same job. it's kind of hard to explain, but it is a great opportunity to expand my skillset, get to know new people, and build my own responsibilities. it is a huge weight off my shoulders. and i get a raise! which also takes a weight off my shoulders.
chris is also doing well. he picked up 5 new students, which essentially doubles how many he has! he is also working with a management company on a contract for his band, and is getting ready to do a lot of traveling to different fall music festivals in September.
finally, aunt stephie is almost ready to have her baby!! i can't believe her due date is only 2 weeks away! stephie started her own blog, where she has really cute pics. so you should definitely check it out! stephieloves.wordpress.com
more to come soon, i promise! also, check out our pics from our camping trip last weekend!
much love and more sleep,
c, c, and t
