Quick Update

Most of our readers know the recent changes in our lives, but I thought I’d fill in those that don’t know. A couple of months ago the company that I helped found and was a partner in, Mage Web Development, was acquired by our largest client. This was a good thing. I now work for that company, Internet Alliance, Inc. I’ll do an entry on them later.

With the acquisition Amy was able to retire from the restaurant business. She had dreamed about going back to school to become a nurse, so she enrolled at Johnston Community College. She studies A Lot. I thought I would see her more when she quit her job, but alas I’ll have to wait a little longer to see her.

Josh has started potty training and he’s doing a really good job with it. He really took off with it when we made a potty chart. He gets to put up a sticker after each visit. After a certain amount of stickers he gets a surprise. He loves new toys. Crazy huh? He also found the wonderful world of reading on the potty. His favorite is Macworld. He can name all the computer models and ipod variations (I’m so Proud).

Speaking of computers… Josh has really taken to it. He use to sit on our laps as we looked over kid web sites. Then one day he just took over. He now sits on my lap before bed and browses his favorite sites while I work on the computer next to it. It really is one of my favorite times of the day.

Nate is growing up Fast. He began walking a couple of weeks ago, but really hasn’t taken to it. He’ll walk here and there but if thinks he can get there faster crawling, he will. He began writing his second full symphony this week and it is really turning into a real knee tapper. No, I’m just kidding. He began growing new teeth this week to go along with his front ones. This will make mommy and daddy happier. He likes to shovel food into his mouth and without the back teeth to help with the chewing process he gets choked a lot. We have to keep a sharp eye on him while he’s eating.

Well, that’s it for this quick update. More in-depth reporting to come in future entries.
