I feel like I didn't really get to finish my last post. You got to see about as far as my Spring Break, but we have some other great news (which I will save to the end). Here's an update of each family member:
Rhea:
Rhea has recently started working on her crawling moves. She could do everything else before that! She could pull herself up to standing, scooch her bottom, and get on her knees. But I have seen her....she crawled! Yay! She is as adorable as ever and has come out of her cranky funk. She also has two teeth which might explain her happy mood! She has been eating two meals a day. She has tried sweet potatoes, broccoli, carrots, oatmeal, applesauce, and blueberries. She has loved everything I have given to her so far except the blueberries. Up next: SPINACH! From the farmer's market of course; very excited to find it!
Jack:
Jack speech continues to improve. It is amazing how rapidly they grow! Speaking of growing, he hasn't really grown in stature; same old Jack. I have another post on Jack I am working on, so you'll get to see that later once I'm finished.
Stephen and I:
Stephen has been busy at work. He says the work load keeps getting worse and worse! He's hanging in there and hoping that it might lead to something better. My work load has been crazy the past few weeks! I have state testing this week, and last week I had Progress Reports to fill out. Yikes!
Okay, so now for the good news. And it is not what you think.....so just push that out of your mind! So, we have decided to use my pay in order to do three things:
1. Fix up the house. We need a forced air furnace and all the fixings. We also need a new bathroom, new kitchen, including a cooktop, and we need to redo all our trim.
2. Save. I would love to have a large sum of money in the bank :-).
3. To pay off Stephen's college loans. It's really the only debt we have apart from our mortgage. By the way, he has four separate loans.
Okay....so for the good news! We paid off one of his medium loans, already! So since we were married, we have paid more than half of all his college loans. It will feel so good to get rid of them :-). And just so you know, we don't plan on having another baby until those loans are paid off, we have a new bathroom/kitchen, and a new furnace. And of course, God might have other plans, but those are our goals for now ;-).
