Finally! an update!

OK, here goes. I'll just do it in categories....

We have sold our house! We close on June 25. This means that we have a lot going on in terms of getting the house "ready" due to the inspection report. Nothing is really too major. It just takes time to get it done.

Speaking of that, our new house will be ready by the end of August/beginning of September! Woo Hoo! I can't wait.

On to Frank.

Frank got a big promotion about 2 weeks ago. He is now on the Elite PCS team. This was a big moment for him! The interview process was tough and he was sucessful! We are very proud of him. He has also been busying himself with stuff around the house.

Now on to me.

I have finished my first year of teaching! YES! It has been quite a year and I am glad it is over. I, unfortunately, did not win the Intern of the Year competition. I have to say, though, it was a wonderful and exciting process. I do know the teacher that won and she is an amazing teacher. That was somewhat of a comfort. I am now busying myself with the wonders of being a stay at home mom. My big accomplishment today was getting Katherine down for her nap on time. Yea me.

Now Katherine.

Wow! She has really come a long way in the past month. She is now sleeping in a big girl bed. We also understand what she says when she talks. Just yesterday, we were singing Donald's Farm (Old McDonald) and I chose pig for the animal. Katherine looked at me and said, "Good job, Mommy. Good choice!". OK, so that just tells you I'm a teacher. I am forever telling her she is making a good choice or not a good choice. :)

On of her favorite activities now is "painting". She gets a paint brush and a bucket of water and "paints" the concrete. It is a pretty awesome and clean game....keeps her occupied for a while. She has also now discovered her love for the movie, "Finding Nemo". Her other pastime is pointing out big trucks and choo-choo trains at any given moment.

We also figured out the situation with her stomach virus. Turns out, it wasn't a stomach virus but rather a double ear infection. She is recuping just fine. We've gone through 2 rounds of antibiotic and I am taking her to the doctor on Tuesday. She really is a pretty good patient. She doesn't get too fussy just quiet and very still. That is how we know she might have a fever. What truly stinks though is that it limits what she can do. She can't really go swimming right now and we had to cancel our trip to Austin. I really wanted to take her to see Grandma and Nana but Katherine's doctor objected to her traveling to different climates too much. bummer. Like I said, though, we are going to the doctor on Tuesday and all should be fine.

On other news...Darla's husband, Dave, was put in the hospital for blood clots in his legs. Thank goodness, they are taken care of and he is back home. Keep the Boswell family in your prayers.

I hope this update satisfies everyone for a while. Now that I am out of school, they should be more often and more thorough.
