Well it sure has been awhile since I have written one of these. I wanna update everyone how things are going and what we have been doing so far.
Lets start off with lucy she is easy. She is now 4 years old. Had one of her tubes fall out and it looks like when the other one falls out we are outta that. Which means no more specialist and no more surgery for her. She is also in pre-K at Valley Christian School. We decided that this is what we will need to do in order for lucy to get use to a classroom setting depending on if we keep her at Valley or a different school will be up to what they teach and where we live. Lucy will also be starting her first season of soccer that is offered at the YMCA.
Russell had a fun summer. He was offered a way better job in a different department on campus, as well as offered a level 3 where he is now. Definitely used the leverage of having 2 people wanting him was nice. He is still in the same department, higher pay, more stress, more work but it's a job, and who can say they have a career like Russ does at the age of 26. Russ has cut back on his soda intake which I believe has been helping his heart burn problems. This is an instance of "I told him so" because he went through a surgery(kinda) microscope down his throat to tell him he has a bad stomach. They wanted it repeated but we really couldn't afford it. I told him "I bet it is all the soda you drink". And needless to say he is doing better. He was recently installed as an officer at the lodge he is a Mason at this last month as well. Makes me proud to be his wife and support him in this since he has been wanting to go back and be more of a member. Well now he is stuck and has to go. We hope to get me back in the star chapter I was apart of soon.
I myself am still with Northwest homecare. I am planning on staying with them until baby #2 is born. 3 more months, then I have to decide if I wanna continue with NW or look for a new job. We will see what life has in store. I have also started to finish my bachelor's, since I did a semester at the mountain campus and would not be able to do this semester we decided to do online schooling for myself. It sure is a learning experience but one I hope to overcome.
We are expecting our 2nd child if you haven't read the other post made in April please do. This child is a work of God's grace for sure. We found out about a month ago we are having a boy. This will be the first grandson for my parents and Russell's parents. As well as the first great grandson from my father's (Shane) mother's side (Nyla). There hasn't been a boy on her side since my cousin Clark was born in the 90s. My mother's(April) mom (Pat) it is the first great grandson as well, also a fun fact we haven't had a boy on her side since my brother was born in 1986. So needless to say this boy sure does have a lot going for him. Leonard (Leon) Patrick Arnold.
