Ok, where to start? We had an enjoyable summer until my mom had to move to Houston last month for a job promotion. She was safe during Ike and so was her apartment located downtown.
Jimmie has a new job installing biomedical equipment (surgical lights and other equipment)in surgery rooms. For this week he is working in Hondo, but before Ike hit, his boss got a huge contract with the Methodist Hospital in Houston. He will being heading over there next week staying about two weeks at a time, and coming home on the weekend.
I have also received a job located on the east side of San Antonio. The company, Texas Service Industries, manufactures fluid pump trailers for clients pumping fluids into big wells, usually oil wells. My job is a mechanical draftsman's assistant. I am currently helping the Sales Engineer catch up on projects that are getting ready to go out, so that he can concentrate on new projects coming in. It's a temporary position right, but further down the road it might develop into a full time position. So as of right now I'm only working M/W/F. Luckily I was able to find a car through our next door neighbor who works at night and letting me use it during the day, and able to find respectable, trustworthy childcare at an affordable and reasonable rate. God is truly blessing us with everything just falling into place. I new that if I took this job and it was meant to be that everything else would be taken care of. I'm really glad that I only work three days a week because I will be able to attend the Ladies Bible Study at our church on Tuesday mornings. We are going through Beth Moore's very first Bible study, A Women's Heart: God's Dwelling Place, revised after 10 years. This is the second study that I have done since we moved to San Antonio. The first one I did was on the Fruit of the Spirit. Then on Thursday's I am able to take the kids to our weekly lunch bunch activity with other mom's in the church.
Kaden is now starting to talk more, learning new words to associate with specific things or people. He has also started potty training a little bit as well. He will follow one of us into the bathroom, take off his pants and diaper, then sit down on his little potty. He hasn't actually gone in the potty yet, but I'm not worried about that. I don't think he quite understands the sensation of having to go and then sitting on the potty to go. No rush. He'll figure out.
Benjamin is getting so big now. I can't believe that he is going to be a year-old at the end of next month. He's army crawling around all over the house, usually following his brother. Starting to get up on his knees and self-feed. No standing yet unless I'm holding him under his arms.
Well, I guess that's about it that I can think of. Now that I have the internet, I'm going to trying my but to keep updating the blog. Hopefully I can post every night or sometimes during the day.
I've put some pictures from this summer.
