Long Time

Whoops! I didn't mean to wait so long to write again! Okay, here is the news, although not a lot is really going on.

"Work": I put the word "work" in quotes because I really don't think of it as work. I really enjoy what I do! Chuckles is amazing! He really is a good kid! :) Right now we are trying to work on colors, just the basics for now and 1-5 and a little bit of the alphabet song. He really doesn't care about this stuff right now so it is a bit of a struggle. LOL. Nothing too big. He is a very active 16 month old so getting him to sit for any period of time is interesting. We (the family and I) are considering the YourBabyCanRead program. I have looked up reviews and several say it works great, some say it just teaches kids how to memorize and one review says it hasn't helped at all... hmmmm... I will be discussing it further with the family tonight. We are also considering taking Charlie to Little Gym. It is a program that teaches kids balance and coordination and as they get older it is like gymnastics. I think this would be really good as Chuckles likes to climb everything and balance would be a great help there! The dilemma becomes do we keep him in Gymboree?

Social: I have gotten moved into my living area, I will post pictures later for y'all to see.. they will be off my phone so don't expect much detail! LOL when I get a camera I will take better pics! I went to the Smithsonian last week which was a lot of fun. I took the Metro for the first time and it was WAY better than LA!!!!! Public transportation in the DC area is way better! :) I also got a chance to catch up with Stacy from High School! :) It was a good time. Soon I hope to be able to catch up with Brooks too! I hope some of you come visit me! :) I miss ya!

Church: I have church narrowed down to a couple. One I really like is 45 minutes away. Not a long distance compared to the two hours I was driving in Iowa, however, it is hard to get involved when you are that far away. So I have looked at a couple more local ones. I will be doing my last looking for a while here this coming Sunday so I should have an answer in a fortnight! :)

I miss you guys, keep in touch! I love you and God Bless!!
