Parental Update

Well, you just had the full run down on Baby Girl. I hope you’re also wondering what’s up with her parents. Let’s see what I can tell you:

DADDY

  • Family–he’s enjoying being Hubby & Daddy. He’s having a blast with his ladies and loving us up. Baby Girl actually greets him each day when he gets home from work. It just warms his heart completely. Hubby is a fantastic Daddy and is doing a wonderful job. Our family is so blessed to have him.
  • Work–things are going well. He’s keeping busy and still learning lots. He’s been there for about 15 months now, and still enjoying every moment of it. He’s also glad to not have to spend a lot of time commuting there.
  • Church–He’s agreed to serve for the upcoming church year, in a leadership role. He took a break this past year, to regroup and relax. Things should be very interesting in this next year.

MOMMY

  • Family–I’m enjoying life with Hubby & Baby. It’s neat having our own little life…
  • Work–well, in case you missed it, I was laid off from my job last fall. So, as the Maternity Leave benefits wind down, we’ll see how we can juggle my staying home. Someone’s gotta raise Baby Girl–she’s not able to take care of herself on her own just yet.
  • Church–No major responsabilities just yet. I’m still waiting on phone calls. I’m also very glad for my high-speed internet connection and the fact that I can catch worship services online from places that have it all together…

COMBINED

  • House–it’s really time to start looking for a house. We’re just praying about this seriously. Right now, though, the market here is mad crazy. It ain’t right, some of the numbers I’m seeing people put down for a small piece of property. I’m just glad that God is in control, because it can easily become very discouraging.
  • Car–okay, so this is just a dream. The reality is that our car is a decent size and runs well and meets our needs. The dream is that I’d really like an SUV (ain’t really feeling the minivan thing). I like the ability to climb up into and climb down out of, rather than folding up to go in and unfolding myself to get out of a car. I’d also like my trunk back–the stroller takes up enuff room. When we were in Toronto, our car rental place (Enterprise), after seeing the amount of stuff we had to tote to our destination, upgraded us free to an SUV. It was a very sweet two weeks. I smiled the entire time. I’m thinking that was just a way of test driving and sealing the deal that SUV is the way to go….LOL.

Okay, that’s the major things for us, really. If I’m forgetting something, I’m sure some loyal reader will bring it to my attention.
