September 2014

Well September has been a busy month!  Going to try to get everything down that has been going on since the last update here for everyone.

Update for Matthew

We're definitely seeing more and more communication from our little guy - though he still hasn't quite broken the English barrier, he's making sure that he's being heard by everyone that is around him.  And he has a ton to say about everything that is going on.  Especially food.  And his dog.  And playing outside.

He's getting more comfortable around the kids that he sees at daycare as well, which makes it so much easier for us to drop him off in the morning!  Whereas before he seemed to not be able to wait for us to show up and get him home to see his dog and have dinner, now he has a tendency to want to play just a little bit longer once mom shows up in the afternoon.  And we're alright with that.

Update for Anna

The 'final class' has begun (sort of)!  This semester is actually kind of an odd one - half being on one day for one class and the second half on another day for another class.  But this is the final semester for Anna to get her Master's degree!  I know that she's really looking forward to being done with the degree (though she'll still have to take a few more classes before she can completely cross off the prerequisites for both CPA exams).  And while she's doing an amazing job balancing everything going on with us currently, I'm pretty sure she's pretty pumped about getting to a point where she has one less thing to have to worry about.

Update for Jay

As stated in the previous update, work has just been getting busier and busier.  With the upcoming kickoff for our "Phase 2" project, our team has had to kick some other projects into high gear in order to free up enough time to start to get our hands around the prerequisite work that is needed in order to get ready for everyone else to get ready to start.  Putting that down, I realize that it sounds a lot more confusing than it did when I think about it.

Suffice to say, it's super hectic around our area of the office and doesn't look like it's going to be slowing down for us anytime in the near future.


As is usual, if you're going to be in our neck of the woods, give us a shout so that we can get together and catch up!
