Thursday

 So many updates:

Craig: is currently battling bronchitis. He has been home for the past few days. Please pray that he will get better.

Earlier this month he bought a new car. My van is no longer useable. I am not comfortable with car payments, but I am comfortable knowing that he is safe on the highways to and from work.

He is excelling very well at work. I have no doubt in my mind that he will become a full buyer in the spring. He does his job well, everyone likes him, and he is scary intelligent. 

Me:

I returned last weekend for my first out of state outreach event. I got to go to Denver, CO with the admissions team. I had a blast!

My university is in the middle of a salary market study. Over the years KU has lost quality staff due to salary differences. I recieved my letter this week letting me know that based on my job description that I will get a moderate salary increase! Yay!

After looking at where we are. Craig and I have decided to stay at our house for another year. We want to do all the home improvement projects within a year and then sell the duplex starting in January 2015. Gives us more time to think about where we want to move and to slowly clean out our house. 

Sophia:

She loves preschool, ballet, the library and spending time with family.

She still watches Thomas the Tank Engine, Magic School Bus, My Little Pony, Lazlo, and Pengu

My little girl is starting to be more independent, which is exciting, but makes me sad. I know that she has to grow up :(

Langston:

He celebrated his 2nd birthday on the 15th. Mikey Mouse theme. He tore his piece of cake up!

He is started to talk in short sentences!

He loves dancing and singing. He always has a smile on his face. I still can 't believe that he is my blue eyed son. Lol.

Over the summer we will start potty training. I think that he understands what his potty is for....he just has to recognize what it feels like when he needs to go.
