A little Update

We've been very busy around here and can't believe it is already the end of October! Chris is busy in school and in the middle of mid-terms. He is suffering a little from Senoritis, so I try to remind him to enjoy this last year and the freedom's that student life bring that a full time job won't have.

I started a new job in the middle of September. I am the Foods teacher at Vimy Ridge Academy (a grade 7-12 sports academy). I only work mornings, but have been busy catching up with planning and marking that the hours seem a little more than part-time. It is a good gig though, and I am learning a lot and stretching myself, which I think is a good thing. Chris and I are both playing indoor soccer again on Monday nights and are so grateful for Grandma Lamont who watches Macy. We both got new callings, Chris in nursery and I as the visiting teaching coordinator, but our ward boundaries just changed last week and we lost half our ward and gained a lot from another ward, so right now we don't know what are callings are!

Macy is as feisty as ever! She is growing and getting smarter everyday. She talks lots now and I can understand a good chunk of what she says. She learns new words everyday and remembers a lot. She does have her own words for things (like 'meeka' for blanket, 'nee-bee' for excuse me or move, and says laundry like 'yawn-ee'), but I love hearing her little voice develop.  She has got her own potty and is pretty good at using it, but I don't think we will be diaper free just yet.

We are busy, but we are blessed, life is good!

Being in school is nice. Wish I could go back and still make money.
