Horrible about posting

sorry those of you who actually check this.
I suck at posting.
But, you can always find out what's going on via Facebook :)

So a quick update on the fam:
I finally finished my credential, only to enter a job market that is laying off and not hiring.
I landed a 40% contract for this year, teaching 1st grade. Since it's part time, I only teach thursdays & Fridays. Not a bad gig with the kids, but the $$ aspect is difficult. Students teaching drained our resources (working for free), so things are tighter than they ever have been. But hey! we have our home, everyone's healthy...who *needs* money, right?!?!!

Justin is still at Google (yay!) working away...he needs to start working on his MBA, but we've got enough going on...

Auggie is a BIG 1st grader now!! AND he's playing soccer!!! not the most coordinated little guy, but he's loving it :) He's also been really into riding his scooter around the court like a crazy guy....

Hayden: is still Hayden. We have him going to Appleseed Montessori school 4 days a week, and he's really loving it! He wants to play baseball, so we're looking around for some t-ball legues in our area for him....

Samantha is no little girl anymore! :( she's soo big and has started talking. She really loves to "cook" and dance to the seaseme street videos on YouTube :) She's such a joy (most of the time).

And there are babies everywhere!!! Soo many friends and some relative have recently given birth to their firsts or second babies!! and more are turning up pregnant!! yay!!
We still want a #4, but really have to get the $$$ stuff under control 1st. we figure that we'll get pregnant next year...Auggie & Hayden will be in school & Sammy will be in preschool. I may/may not continue teaching after baby #4, all depends on if we win that lotto :)

I really miss working with the babies @ google. Big kids are cool too, and it's nice to be using what I went to school for...but I miss just holdin the little guys.... i don't miss being thrown up on by the sick ones, nor do I miss the politics of working with all those 1st time parents...nor do i miss the 9 hour work days, 45 min. commute each way....::sigh::

So that's us for the past year! :) Look back again in another 6 months and there just might be ONE more post :)
