We've added a new pet to our household, a 100+ pound Mastiff named Isis. She's adorable, I must admit, but as you can see in the photo to the right, she's a bit protective and personally I think she would like to eat Nigel (the cat)
I, personally am on a quest to find a new job. Yes, you heard me right, a new job. I don't want to sit behind a computer all day anymore, I want to get out and inspire the world...so I applied for a part-time activity aide at a senior home. Sadly, I have not heard anything yet, so I'm thinking I will be behind the computer for a few more months....ugggghhhh.
My husband is getting ready to go back to school to finish his bachelor's degree in Human Communication. After that he plans to take classes in Seminary and someday become a pastor...so yes, that would make me a pastor's wife in the future. Something I do look forward to, but makes me nervous just a teensy bit. My husband is also looking for a job, a third shift job to be exact, so I'm thinking I won't see him too much in the coming semester. That makes me sad, but I guess in times like this you have to do what you have to do :)
Kemper is half-way through his 1st grade year and loving it. His biggest accomplishment this year (in his head) is that he is in charge of the playground shed. With this great responsibility he must make sure everything is in it's place so that the shed doors close at the end of recess. (Why can't he do this at home? I can never get his closet doors shut). He is learning to read, which is awesome! And today, he gets to read his very own book he made about his lizard (which died about a month ago) to the whole class. He told me he would write more to his book later, but for now he didn't want to discuss the death. The funny thing is, is that he never paid attention to the lizard when it was alive, but now since it's gone....well we talk about the lizard a lot.
Joey is halfway through his kindergarten year. He is the class clown from what I am told. (Proud momma moment: He's following in my footsteps to being voted class clown of his senior class.) Joey is also learning to read which just amazes me and he's also a whiz at math. (not following in my footsteps)
Emma is enjoying getting all the attention at home with her big brothers at school all day. She gets to see all the family members and friends, cause we are lucky enough to have family members and friends babysit for us during the day :) She is a delight and always keeps everyone on their toes.
Kemp and I had the pleasure of being in a community play over Christmas time. I have always really enjoyed theatre and was so excited he wanted to share in this quest with me! He was a shepherd (and the cutest shepherd in the play, I thought)
That's enough for now....don't want to overwhelm anyone with the coolness of the Dysfunctional Dyson's :)
