Conundrum

You know how we get so excited to see children accomplish new things?  "Yay!  She rolled over!"  "Yay, she can crawl!"  Well, we were way excited about Kalyor rolling from her tummy to her back.  She even can roll from her back to her tummy!  However, when she rolls from her tummy to her back during her nap...she wakes up.  We are no longer excited about this simple kinesthetic movement.  She no longer needs to roll over.

At the Train Station

Here are some pictures Lolita and I took at the train station.  I think I'm finally getting the hang of this. They are uploaded to Picasa and CLICK HERE.

More travels

No, I'm not posting pictures of our trip to California; although I should be since that was over a week ago (but I'm actually supposed to be working on homework right now...). 

My wonderful wife has found a job West of the Mississippi.  We are moving to the Phoenix area around the third week in May.  We are super excited about it and can't wait to be back West.  We have been looking for a job for several months and this seems to be the best fit for our family at this time.  She will be working at an orthopedic physical therapy clinic.  We will be about 5 hours from her family and a pretty good distance away from mine. It will be an adjustment, for sure.  We are unsure which area of Phoenix because there are three different clinics that are possibilities and we want to be closest to the clinic where she works.  We most likely will find out which clinic she will be working with when we move there so we will be in limbo until then as to where we may live.  We have several friends in the area that have offered lodging if needed.  Hopefully, we can just move there, find a place in a day or two, and move in.  

As for me, I will apply to ASU's Marriage and Family Therapy Program for Fall '13 and hope to get in.  In the meantime, I will be Mr. Mom and maybe pick up a part time job, if needed.

April Photo Challenge Day 22

Day 22: The last thing I bought
It just so happens to be the last thing I bought is one of my most favorite desserts, custard.  I purchased it from Eddie's, a local here in Hammond.  However, I am not impressed with their business.  It was 2 hours from closing and they ran out of the flavor of the day.  I'm excited that I will no longer have to deal with this.  Culvers, here we come!!

April Photo Challenge Day 20

Day 20: Something You Drew


April Photo Challenge Day 19


I know this picture is a little different but it shows the color orange in two ways. The piece of rug behind my head is very orange and was my original intent for the picture. However, when I accidentally captured my new red Rainbow sandal in the picture, the sandal became orange and the rug is more yellow. Crazy how the eye of the camera changes color depending on what is in frame.
