No Longer a Newborn


Today it's official, Greyson is 3 months old and therefore no longer in the "newborn" category. It's bittersweet....I'm thrilled to see him growing and learning so many new things all the time, but a little sad my baby boy is one day not going to be a baby anymore. He has to grow up sometime, and the truth is I'm just truly loving watching this amazing little person grow right before my eyes each day.

Some other exciting news is that I have taken a different teaching position for next school year. I was originally planning on going back next August and teaching 4th grade as I have for the past 3 years at my school, but a twist of fate stepped in. I found out there was an opening for a part-time technology teacher in my school. I interviewed for the position and got the call stating I was offered the job later that day. Therefore I will be going back to work in August as planned, but will be teaching technology (basically I'm the computer lab teacher) to all the 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes once a week in the afternoon and I'll be working from 11:30-3:30. The REALLY great part of me working part-time is that I will be able to be with Greyson in the morning and Kyle is able to be with him in the afternoon with his grad school schedule, so Greyson will not need to be in daycare (something I wasn't too keen on to begin with). We're both thrilled and it just seemed like fate that this great job opportunity that will still allow me to use my teaching skills and feel the satisfaction in working (not to mention having adult interaction), but also allow me to feel I'm getting to be the kind of Mom I want to be all at the same time. What a blessing!

Speaking of blessings, both Greyson and I had our baptism this past Sunday. Everything went wonderfully and we had a great celebration at our home with many great friends and loving family there to celebrate. Thanks to all who were able to make it, and especially to our great families who came in town for the weekend. We had a GREAT time having you here and look forward to seeing you all again soon!!!

Enjoy the video down below - it's of a little goofy game called "Tank Commander" that Greyson and Kyle like to play together. Leave it to an Army man to take his child on an imaginary tank ride, but boy does Greyson seem to love it....I better watch out or he just might follow in his Daddy's solider footsteps.

Love,
K, L, and G
