Dave got a new job! In October, Dave started working for a company based out of Campbell, CA and he works from home. He is still doing software programming/engineering. This job has been a blessing to our family as it has given Dave a larger salary. He is enjoying his new job and the projects he has to work on. His job has him traveling to Campbell every week or so, and he just spent this past week in Dallas, Texas!
I am still enjoying my job teaching 3rd grade. My students are energetic and make me laugh out loud. We are learning about vertebrates (living things with spines), invertebrates (living things without spines), the men and women who founded our country, how to add and subtract large numbers, and we are constantly reading! I have also started to organize our Christmas program! We will be touring the world through the eyes of a grandpa this year!
Jennifer is growing fast! She is learning lot of new tricks, and smiling more and more! Some of her new tricks include: holding her toes, holding on to toys, putting everything in her mouth to chew on, growing teeth slowly (they have yet to appear), and squealing when happy or frustrated. She still enjoys going to my mom's house and our friend's house while we work.
The past couple weeks have been busy!
We visited with friends from Kansas as they came through California after their honeymoon.
Then, we got to visit with Chris and Sarah (my younger brother and sister-in-law) and their 2 children: Kai and Mika (Mika was born in September). They were up at my parents' house for a week before moving to Kenya! Chris has a new job as well, and it has taken them to Nairobi. They arrived safe and sound on Thursday with both kids and lots of luggage!
While Chris, Sarah, and family were visiting, Tim, Daisy, and Henry visited as well. The kids enjoyed reuniting once again, and the boys loved pushing "Fa-Fa" (Jennifer in 1 1/2 year old language) in her jumper seat!
Ok, here are some pictures of Jennifer being cute:
