Good News

We have been busy in these here parts.

The NEWS:

1. Ronin can crawl!!! He started on July 24th, his 9 month birthday.

2. Nico found a job... in the automotive field... in Detroit... in the middle of a recession. Yay!!! His start date is Sept. 14. We are ecstatic.

Roni sounds like he might be waking up, so here's some pictures to tide you over until I get a chance to blog again...Hanging out with Jack and Bella...

Eating Nonna's shoelaces...

He was offered a job.

Yay!!! The official offer came this Tuesday. He accepted. His start date is Sept 14. More on this later.

A big "thank you" to everyone who was praying for us. It worked!

We've got to eat our breakfast and head to the farmer's market to meet up with our friends Brynn and Kalan.

Family visits

Having much fun with Micky. It was great to see PJ.

Will post pictures soon!

We’re back from spending two weeks in Kentucky. We had a really nice time hanging out with my family. We had a laid-back 4th complete with bonfire and fireworks. Nico and my dad were only minimally burned. Just joking.

Ronin got a new tooth while we were there. An upper. Today I noticed that he has ANOTHER one that just poked up on the bottom. Poor kid is getting a tooth every two weeks.

All is well up here. Nico still hasn’t found a job, but he’s exploring all options. We are trying to keep our spirits up.

Well, we are headed to Kentucky in a few days. Dad is picking us up and we will stay with him for two weeks. Nico will be meeting us in KY for a couple days over the 4th. It will be great for both of us to see him.

No news on the job front. Hope everyone is doing well.

Here are a few pictures of Roni and I at the park on the 15th. We met up with a couple other moms and babies and had a nice time.

No Swimming for Ronin

We tried to go to the pool today, but he had a meltdown. I think it was lack of sleep more than anything else. It's hard to get a good night's sleep without Nico.

We are keeping busy to stave off loneliness. Tomorrow is our parenting group and on Friday we are going to the Nature Center.

The big news…. Ronin claps now! After you sing a song, he gives you a wonderful round of applause. It’s quite funny. He’s also scooting backward. I’m not sure he’s interested in crawling, but he looks at me and grins every time he scoots away from me.

I’ll try to post new pictures soon.

Tootles!
