~An Update On Life~

I've been terrible at keeping my blog up to date! So, even though I don't have time to load some pictures, I thought I could do a little update on our family.

Probably the biggest change around here is that Tim has started working at Costco AND is going to HACC for his Microsoft Certification (MCSA & MCSE). School started in the middle of September and is going really well

for him. Our hope is that it will provide a brand new job opportunity for Tim. It was a long 13 month journey to get here, but we feel like things are finally starting to happen. We are anticipating some great things for our future!

As Tim is working AND going to school, we are seeing him much less than before! He work 5 evenings a week (3-10) and has school Mondays and Wednesdays (6-9:30), then class again on Saturdays (8:00-11:30) and works Saturday evenings. So, we don't see him much at all. Mornings and early afternoon are what we get. :) Which I guess is better than nothing. It does limit our opportunities to get with friends and doesn't allow for Tim to attend our Care Group meetings. I know he will miss the fellowship there.

Elise is getting SO BIG!!! She had a 6 month appointment last week. She weighed in at 16 lbs. 13 oz. (56%) she was 26 3/4 in. long (74%) and Head Circumference is 17 (63%).

So, she's LONG! I already knew that since she doesn't fit most of her clothes!!!! :)

Her visit went well, except for one thing. It appears that she has a heart murmur. Nora also has a murmur and a hole in her heart. So on November 20th, Elise will see a Pediatric Cardiologist and we'll see if it's serious or not. At this point, our Pediatrician is guessing that it's just small and nothing to worry about, but we still have to check it out.

She's doing SO MUCH! For the last few weeks, she's been crawling everywhere, sitting by herself for long periods of time and is eating EVERYTHING!

She has 5 teeth and 2 more on working their way in. She's already eating animal crackers and biter biscuits because she needs something to gnaw on!

Nora is doing well. She spend most of her day playing by herself. Often she is in her own little imagination world. She talks to herself, plays various games and gets "lost" in her world. It's great that she is able to occupy herself.

Anyway, that's an update for now! I'll try my best to post some pictures of Halloween and Nora playing in the leaves.
