Wyatt's 5 Months

By
Two posts in one day.  Woah.  5 day weekends are nice!
 
So Wyatt is 5 months as of today, and he just had a giant explosion of new skills.  He started rolling over a while ago, but now he rolls down constantly - the second you lay him down.  (Makes diaper changes interesting...)  He is also getting good at repeated rolling and getting himself all the way across the room.  This leads me to have small panic attacks because I go to put a dish in the sink, or let the dog out, and I come back and he's GONE!  Until I hear him giggling under the coffee table.  Stinker. 
 
He grabs for everything - hair, glasses, furniture, sweatshirt drawstrings, toys, dog ears, sister ears, your dinner... And he gets very excited about new toys.  He continues to be a smiley and happy little guy.  (See video below for proof!)
 
Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving!  We'll post pictures from our Thanksgiving soon.  Our house feels quiet with just the four of us home, and we miss ya'll already!

Greetings friends, Thanks to all your prayers and support over these last months, my job search is finally over.  It ended where it began, in the principal's office at Marian High School, a Catholic high school in Mishawaka, IN, about 5 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 11th and 12th grade English-- 4 sections of honors Junior composition, and 1 Senior world literature course.  Both Nicole and I are very excited about this opportunity, as we will now be on the same schedules with breaks and will, of course, have the summers off to travel and visit all of you, our family and friends. I am observing the teacher who is resigning over the next week, and I will begin on my own Monday, November 3, just in time for Nikki to go into labor, necessitating my finding a sub for a week or so?!  Oh well, what can you do? Thanks again to all of you who have prayed earnestly that this challenging time would pass.  We are truly blessed by all of you.

Entertainment

By
Leah is singing, singing, singing these days... Some nights we hear her singing all kinds of songs to herself after we put her to bed. One of her new favorites is "Twinkie Doodle." We tried to teach her how to say "Yankee" for a while and then figured, why bother? We like this Twinkie Doodle character better. The other video is her very first knock knock "joke." Often while I am cooking dinner she hangs out in the kitchen with me, being my helper and entertainment in one.

The Nursery Progression

By
Here are some pictures of the nursery in stages.  The first few show just plain primed walls with painting tape.  The next couple show us starting to paint, followed by the adventure that was putting up the chair rail.  The last photos are finishing the painting, doing some touch ups, and the finished product.  It was a lot of fun, and Nicole's nesting urges were satisfied for the time being.  We're doing a ladybug theme, with the green and pink being the dominant colors. We do have some accents like picture frames, shelves, and hanging baskets that are being painted red.  All we need now is some baby furniture.  Enjoy the photos and comment away.
