Here's the scoop. At the beginning of the year, we decided that while David loves real estate, it is a better career choice for somebody who doesn't really need an income. Not so much for providing for a growing family. So, we started looking at Edward Jones. We have friends here who work for Edward Jones, and they were all more than excited for David to jump aboard. David is finally in the last steps of his interviewing process (this has taken 3 months or so) and we hope he will start his training by the end of this month. Our initial plan was to move to Texas in August. Phoenix is not where we want to stay permanently, so we figured that if we're going to be starting a new business, we might as well start it someplace we'd rather be long term. However, a week or so ago we decided that we just needed to stay put for a little while longer. We do love it here so we're not too sad about staying! :)
I am now working as an office assistant at a local Primrose School. Initially, I was working a split shift of 6-9 am and then 3-6:30p, while David worked from home with the kids. Starting next week, though, I will only be working the morning shift. I couldn't be happier about that! I was having an incredibly difficult time being away from the kids so much (I think I cried all day, every day my first week). Now that I've settled into my routine there, I really am enjoying it. I am contemplating getting my real estate license just to take over David's stuff when he's done. It would be a very part time thing. We'll see, I guess!
Brychan scared the living daylights out of me last weekend when I came home from work Friday night to find him with a fairly high fever (this kid NEVER gets sick). While I was snuggling him, I found a lump in his arm that was slightly larger than a pea. Saying that I freaked out is kind of an understatement. All I could focus on was the possibility of cancer and I was close to hysterics once or twice. Anyway. I got him into the doctor Monday morning and she said it was just a lasting side effect from his last round of immunizations and I shouldn't worry (unless it gets bigger or painful). I am still trying to figure out what we'll be doing for Kindergarten...especially since I started ignoring it once we decided to move to Texas! We are still trying really hard to get him into the ONE available gifted program in our area, and should find out about that in a week or two.
Two weeks ago, I had a speech assessment done for Kehlton. The kid talks non-stop, but you can't understand most of what he's saying. It was decided at that assessment that he does seem to have a delay and so in June he will have a full evaluation. If it's decided that he does have a speech delay, then he will start school in the fall in the preschool class that Brychan is currently in; only as one of the "special needs" students rather than a peer model. We love Brychan's teachers and they already know and love Kehlton, so we are happy with that option. Other than that, I have no idea what will happen to help improve his speech.
That's a lot of catching up/journaling!! So, in case you haven't seen all our photos on Facebook lately; here's the results of our last photo session with Jocie.
Even when she's mad she's still cute!!
