Learning to Walk

Sorry I haven't posted this week but we've been slack in our photography and I know that people only read my blog to see pictures of the baby! I try not to let my bruised ego keep me up at night!

Great news! Justin got a new job! He is going to start working at a local elementary school as their IT guy. It's called INTEL. Not only will he be fixing all of their computers, but he will be running the morning "talk show" for the announcements. He will be in charge of a group of 5th graders who will broadcast the latest school news, lunch menu, give the pledge of allegiance etc. The principal has also told him that they want to take their show to a new level and have it be fun and energetic. So, Justin will be coming up with elementary SNL skits on top of that! It sounds like fun, and he's excited about it - though not about being at school at 7:00am! That will take some time to get use to.

I had an interview myself this week for a teaching position and one next week as well. Hopefully one of the two will pan out or more offers will come in! I also took the GRE last week just in case I don't get a job offer and will start back school to become certified. 1040 thank you very much! (For those of you who don't know, you need an 800 to get into my school of choice.)

OK, ego stroking complete-now to Chasen! He finally surfaced tooth #3 ! Thank goodness! This teething period seemed to be longer than his first time! It's his top tooth, so it's much larger. And cuter! He has also become very loud. I have friends whose babies have been loud for some time now. But Chase was always a lot softer. Sure he talked and made noises, but not ear-piercing screeches. Well, all that has changed this week! He has figured out that loud=proud and he loves to shriek! It's especially an effective tool to get mommy's attention. Of course, the fact that he and Justin have shouting matches isn't helping either! But I guess his time has come and he wants everyone to know!
