Moved in

Well we were without Internet for a while but now we have it back and are very close to being all moved in. There are so many great places to run around here and we're lucky to be near 4 nice parks. The drive is pretty good getting to where I work but its horrible for Jamie on her way to work by way of the babysitter but we only have a couple weeks left until Jamie can stay home. Abigael's babysitter has been really great but it will be nice to spend more time with her at home now and watch her grow and learn new things.

I am no longer working as a contractor for the Army which is bittersweet. My job was really boring but I am not sure what kinds of jobs I will get now either. I'll be back to working in the downtown office so we'll see how that goes.

Just an FYI...only 34 days until the wedding!!

Dead camera

It looks like we lost the camera for good after that little swimming incident. We do have another camera on hand though so have no fear! Everyone will still get their fix of Abigael photos!

Out of the blue

I got a call today from a Booz Allen recruiter in Colorado Springs who somehow heard I was interested in moving there. They are going to schedule a phone interview with me this Friday. I know we are in the middle of moving to a new home, but I'd hate to pass up this opportunity. I think Abigael will love Colorado... when she gets older.

I guess we will see how it goes. I have no idea what the job actually entails but I'd be open to a few different possibilities at this point. I was also just recently talking to someone who I used to work with in the Air Force and it seems Booz Allen also has some interest in having me work back in my old office again.

Time to work on the resume again!...

Pool Party

Today was Abigael's first time in the swimming pool! It was a little cool but she seemed to enjoy the short time we were there. When we put her in the pool at first she cried a bit, but she got used to the water and then actually was really interested in everything around her. But then SOMEBODY (aka Shane) dunked the camera in the water and it doesn't work anymore. Oops. Maybe it can be salvaged but who knows.

Abigael looked so cute in her new bikini and sun hat. She kept wanting to eat the hat though...she thought we were putting a toy on her head to play with :) We lathered her up in SPF to make sure no baby burns happened.

Once we get the camera working and the new pics on the computer we'll post them for everyone to see.

Look how pretty she is...

I know everyone knows, but I thought I'd put up some newer pics of Abigael because she wanted to show everyone her dictionary of faces! She's gotten so much "older" in these fast few weeks. Suddenly she went from low-crawling to actually crawling, and next she went from crawling to pulling herself up to standing on furniture!! It's just amazing how she's growing. Shane and I enjoy every moment knowing they won't last forever :) Now if we could just get her to say Ma-Ma!!
