I have been a slacker, and for that I apologize. Since Kash has arrived things have been....well, hectic. Kash got pretty sick with croup a few weeks back and then he got Lee, Kira and me sick as well and so it's been a lot of visits to the hospital and doctors offices, etc. We are all somewhat healthy at the moment and I'm praying that we stay that way.
To catch you all up on what has been going on with us I should start with the previous post. Kurgan won the district bee (4th place) and got a pretty cool trophy. We went to the regional bee where I think roughly 35 spellers competed and Kurgan got 16th. The word he got out on was junta and I had no clue how to spell it. Kurgan spelled it with an "h". The super cool thing about that was that his teacher Mr. Short came to the bee to show his support. We were all pretty impressed by that.
Miss Kira got her ears pierced over a month ago and was a champ about the whole thing. She decided one day that she wanted her ears pierced after one of her best friends came to school toting some newly pierced ears. We went to Claire's and I could tell that she was nervous, but she sat in the chair and didn't even jump when they pierced the first ear. She is really, really excited to take out her studs on Friday and put in some other earrings!
Kash is now 6 months old (already?) and is eating rice cereal every morning and night. He can sit up by himself but he's a little shaky and falls over once in a while. Daycare fed him a half a jar of squash today which I'm not too happy about but such is life. I'm not sure if he liked it or not.
I had to take a Praxis test on March 14th for my teaching program so I can start with my education courses finally. I passed the math and reading portions but I'm still waiting on my essay to be scored so I can find out if I passed the writing section. After I took the test I helped out my wonderful brother-in-law, Ken with a grand plan to surprise my sister Amanda since it was her birthday. I invited them over to my house for a birthday dinner and then I packed up my family and headed over to her house. Once they left, we went in and let some friends into her house and then Ken acted like he forgot something so they turned around. We had all the lights out and yelled "surprise!" when she got there. The kids got a kick out of it and I think Amanda might have liked it a little...maybe. Unfortunately I had to run home to work on homework the rest of the night. Bleh.
I applied for a supervisor position at work and went through the interview process but did not receive a second interview. Apparently I am not management material yet but I think the interview was a good learning experience.
Lee is still plugging away at school and only has to finish up the quarter he is in, then one more quarter before he starts his rotations! That means the end is near. We are so excited. Especially me because it means that I get to quit working and stay at home with my fabulous kids!
I will get some current pictures up soon, I promise.
