UPDATE!!

Wow, I've been gone for quite sometime now....I actually have quite a bit to talk about!

Ok, I'll start with Nathaniel. He took his DLPT (Defense Language Proficiency Test) on Tuesday and Wednesday. He was really nervous about his reading test. On Thursday I went to the base to have lunch with him and his class (they had a pizza party). Nathaniel was supposed to find out his scores at 1:00...we were on pins and needles the whole time we were waiting! Well 1:00 came and went and STILL no scores! Well come to find out, some General came to the school that day and the guy that was supposed to deliver the scores had to escort the General around the base. So Nathaniel had to wait until 2:30 to get his scores! I know this doesn't sound like a very long time, but trust me it felt like an eternity!! So He finally got his scores and he got a 3/3/2!!!!!!! That is a GREAT score! He got the highest score in his class, along with one other girl! His final GPA was 3.9. I'm so proud of him for working so hard! He does his best to support our family and I'm sooo grateful! Wat this means for us is...since Nathaniel got such a high score, he will more than likely get another language immediately after his Farsi graduation. He will be learning a dialect of Farsi, called Dari. It's a 16 week course. After he finishes Dari, he will be going to a 6 month long tech school in Good Fellow, Texas. While he is there Me and Kyleigh will be staying with Christina and I will be returning to work for a while. Once Nathaniel is done with His Texas Tech School, we are moving to Georgia! And talk of another baby is in the works :). We will be living there for quite a while ( a few years).


Ok Now for Kyleigh...She is doing GREAT! She had a bit of a scary doctors appt. recently though. I went for her 9 month check up and the doctor said that her head was measuring to large, her iron was low, and she had a high temp. I had to take her to the lab so they could take stool samples to check for any bacteria. All the cultures came back negative! She has been taking vitamins for her iron. And the doctor said that is her head was still measuring large at her 1 year appt. that she would get it checked out. She told me not to worry (but is wanted me not to worry she shouldn't have told me!!!) She is feeding herself, which is GREAT! I love being able to just hand her food and she puts it in her mouth (along with anything else she finds on the floor). She also FINALLY got her two bottom teeth!! I love her little toothy grin! I'm still nursing her so I'm praying she doesn't bite me!! She's been standing by herself, with no support for quite sometime, so I think she may try to walk in the next month! I'm in for it! I love her SOOOO much! I'm having a hard time deciding what I'm going to dress her as for Halloween...I'm thinking a flower. http://www.partycity.com/product/costumes+%26+accessories/infant+and+baby/new+for+2009/baby+blossom+costume+deluxe+baby.do?sortby=bestSellers&page=2 but I also may dress her as a lion. http://www.partycity.com/product/costumes+%26+accessories/infant+and+baby/new+for+2009/lil+lion+costume+deluxe+baby.do?sortby=bestSellers it has a bow on the tail so maybe people wont ask if shes a girl!! ANY IDEAS ARE WELCOME!!

And Finally and update on me...I'm doing FANTASTIC! I'm loving life! I'm still doing photography with my friend Margaret, and she's really helped me get better! I'm slowly learning how to be a better house wife. It's hard working out a schedule for cleaning, but I'm getting better! Kyleigh keeps me busy! I'm constantly chasing her, pulling things out of her mouth. I don't know how she hasn't choked on something yet! she finds the oddest things!

For some reason blogger isn't letting me post pictures...if you want to see pics, just visit my facebook...it isn't private!
