HOLY DANG!

Wow, so much has happened since the last time I wrote it's crazy! Reader's Digest version of the last four months goes something like this. Jesse applied to Alpine, and didn't get hired . Our house we were renting got foreclosed on. Jesse applied to a fire department in Colorado. We had to move out of our house and into my mom's house. Ollie learned to roll over, sit up, and scoot around. Unfortunately, he hasn't learned how to sleep through the night yet. Frank turned two, got a bike and is now speaking sentences. We sent Jesse out to Colorado, twice, and now he has a conditional job offer. Which means as long as he passes his physical and his background check he's hired. While he was in Colorado the second time he found a house for us to buy and San Diego caught on fire. Now that he's back he's stationed at one of the Harris fire camps and is waiting to take care of the injured. He may not be home for a few days. Well I think that covers about everything. Moving into my mom's house has been difficult for Frank. He asks to go home 2 to 3 times a day. He loves having Papa and his Uncle Stu around. They are great playmates, especially close to bedtime:) Ollie is a smiley little character with plenty of personality. He is in the "mama's boy" stage of life where only mom will do. As soon as he hears my voice he starts smiling and looking for me. Thankfully, both boys do great when I drop them off at daycare. I am still teaching water aerobics 2-3 times a week. Since Jesse got the job offer, and we're going to take it, that means we will be moving to Grand Junction, CO the last week in November. So now y'all have a friend in Colorado:) We are excited for him to start his career out in Colorado. There are more opportunities to expand his "trade" than in San Diego. We will miss our friends and our family out here BUT we feel it is best for our family to venture north east. The cold and closed toed shoes are not friends of mine but I will have to learn to like them. We hope this finds everyone safe. Remember our firefighters who are working so hard and are away from their families in your prayers.
