Updates

Hello again!! I know some of you have been wondering where I went....well...first our camera DIED on us and then our computer started going CRAZY!!! We thought it was dying too, but so far we think we got some kind of virus or something, still trying to figure it out but at least I can get on the Internet again.

First, my mother-in-law had her surgery last week and all the lymph nodes they tested were BREAST CANCER FREE!!! That means no chemo....yea!!! She is recovering well, although very tired with the medication for pain. She will start radiation in a few weeks but we are so thankful for the good news and all the prayers. Will keep you posted. Mom, we love you!!!

Jason has been LOVING his new job. He actually comes home and says the day goes by sooooo fast, which is great to hear. Boeing has a lot of perks that come with the job and it has been nice to be a part of such a good company so far. He just found out that this biking program he entered got him a FREE $650 value road bike....once he goes to the safety class for it next week he will receive it. He is very excited as his bike has been having some mechanical issues, one of which sent him crashing to the ground and getting banged up! He is handling the commute so far. He bikes to the bus in the mornings and then catches the ferry. Once he gets the new bike, he might just bike to the ferry. Then he bikes from the ferry to work. He enjoys the exercise and the time on the ferry to catch up on reading. So we shall see how it goes....I will have to capture a pic of his mode of transportation. Angelica likes telling people that Papa takes a "boat, a bike and a bus" to work and that he "fixes airplanes". Jason still isn't sure what classes he will be taking, but he is wanting to finish his degree in the next couple of years....so with the Boeing education perks, we feel like we cannot pass it up, especially with the GI bill. So we will keep you posted....

Angelica has been SINGING a lot lately...all day long. She loves her favorite "Jesus Loves Me" also, "Moon Moon Moon", "Goodnight Sweetheart" and now loves to sing her "ABCs"...will have to get that on video.

Emma is EVERYWHERE. Took her less than a week to pick up speed and to figure out steps. She is now pulling herself up on everything and so very active and determined and has no fear!! I feel like I need to put her in a helmet. I think she will be an early walker. She is talking a lot now and saying "mama" and loves her yo-yo baby yogurt.

I am trying to get more "organized" and excited about getting a "new" to us camera...Jason's sister Michelle who is a photographer is sending us her old Canon Digital Rebel....so hopefully I can figure out how to work it. We just need to get a lens (if anyone can tell me a good kind....Michelle??) and we should be good to go!! Thanks Michelle....that is such a huge gift and couldn't have happened at a more perfect time!!
