We're moving!

After months of searching, we think we found just the right job for Skip. He has accepted a position with Garmin International (makers of GPS systems). He will be working with the units that go in the cars. We are anxious, nervous, and excited about this new adventure and hope that we have made the right decision. We listed the house on the market and hope it sells soon enough. For now the plan is for all of us to move up to Olathe (a suburb of Kansas City) and find a rental property for a few months while looking for the right location and house. He starts on October 22nd, and we plan to move a few days before that. Happy birthday to us!

On the kid front Emerald celebrates her half birthday tomorrow. 2 1/2 years old already! She is a wonderful girl and continues to amaze us with her vocabulary and sense of humor. She is still in love with her brother, Laney, and anything horse related. She carries Mango around changing diapers, feeding him, and telling us to be quiet, Mango's sleeping.

Calvin is almost 8 months old and is crawling all over the place. We are impressed with his turn, as the movement in his life has brought out a whole new Calvin. He is much happier and sleeps well these days. He has discovered how to sit up from laying position and after each successful job at this he looks to us with a big smile, like he is saying Look at me! His favorite sounds include Da-Da sounds although we aren't quite sure he is meaning Dad. It makes Skip smile. His fangs show through, and he has finally gotten a front top middle tooth to add to the 2 on the sides. We know that when he figures out how to crawl up on all fours he will be super fast chasing his big sis.

Sorry it has taken us so long to update this. I will try to do a better job. Other things have been a priority including chasing the kids and preparing for the move and house selling. Wish us luck with it all!
