We're Moving

So things have been really up in the air the last month or so regarding what was next for our family. This past week some of those questions have been answered for us. We will serving as Community Coordinators for a new community for Fuller. We had been waiting to move into this new community because there were no apartments available. Well, a few people moved out and so we are finally moving in! So, in two weeks we will start moving in to our nice new 2 bedroom. We are excited for Mason to have his own space now to keep his toys, books and play. Plus there are some really cool people in our new community...a lot of PhD students. We'll send out an email to everyone soon with our new address and any other new info.

The next big change is with Dave. After a couple months of searching for a new job, change came where we least expected it (our plan C or D). He is going to be the Special Education teacher at South Pasadena High School, the same school he's been an assistant at for the last 3 years. He got hired on Thursday and started training on Friday. The hire is conditional on Dave getting his credential. So he will also be heading back to school...again! On Tuesday he will begin his credential program at Point Loma Nazarene Unv. He will begin teaching on Thursday. So, this is a 2 year committment for him, which means we'll be in Cali for at least another 2 years. While it was not our first choice, we are all really excited and this is the best option in the long run for us.

Amanda is working on setting up an internship/practicum for the fall. There are a couple options at this point but nothing is set in stone. If this all works out, will do that in the fall, take 2 classes in the winter and be done!! For sure, graduation in June will happen!

Mason may start day care in the fall, depending on Amanda's internship. If so, we have a place picked out with no waiting list right now. It is close to home and a good environment. He recently went for a check up and got a good report. He is in the 10th percentile for weight, 25th for height and 90% for his head size. He is growing nicely...his bell curve looks great! He is also recently been going through a growth spurt and eating us out of house and home! He is definately a toddler now...getting more strong willed and independent. We'll post some new pictures for you all soon! (Our friend Gina will be doing his photos soon!)
