Lions and Tigers and Bears! And a house!

The kids and I took a fun day trip with Grammy, Aunt Teresa, and cousin Gracelyn last week. We spent an afternoon in Naperville at the river walk, visited our family, and then wrangled the children to bed. The next day we went to Brookfield zoo! Leah now hopes to be a dolphin trainer when she grows up. Wyatt wants to be a giraffe. :)

In other news, we have made an offer on a new house and it was accepted! So we will be moving to the next town over within the month or so! Papa and Grammy Dainty came this weekend again and helped us with home inspection. We have been lucky yo see them several times this summer. Once I figure out where I stored our Tennessee trip pics I will put some of those up too.

Aaaaaaaattttttt Llllaaaaassstt....

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

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.

Here She Is!

Here are the latest "pictures" of our little one on the way. Baby Dainty weighed in at just under a pound and she is growing well. The ultrasound technician was fairly certain that we are having a little girl, but then again, we could be surprised in a few months! In which case we decided we would merely paint tiny mustaches on all the ladybugs in the nursery to make it more suitable for a boy. That would work, right? She might be a thumb-sucker already judging by this first picture!
