Tanya: Okay for me, I finished another semester of college. I got 3 As and 1 B. Once they fix a little error (the system lost my grade for one of my classes) I'll be acknowledged on the Dean's List. From there I will attempt to join Phi Theta Kappa. I also made a decision about where I will earn my BA. ASU (Arizona State University) offered me the chance to earn my degree completely online. Online or not, ASU is a respectable college and will look good on a resume. So Fall 2010 I will be working on a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies -- Dual Concentration in Human Development and Political Science. I am excited and hope to keep to my plan. Going with ASU I might even end up ahead of schedule *Gasp*
Ray: He's a good ways into his deployment. He's been working hard to get his promotion and I know he'll get it very soon. He's amazing like that. Really the only hold up is getting enough promotion points. He's already gone to SGT school and gone to the board to get promotable status so yay! It's just the evil points. He watched Emi on Christmas as she opened gifts. Of course he wishes he was home but not much that can be done about that. He did reenlist, and at the moment he's considering his options. Whatever he decides I know he'll be great and he'll have his family's support.
Emilee: She's growing faster than I can keep up with. She's got a small vocabulary that includes Mama, Daddee, Uh Oh, Whoa, Hi, Bye and More. I think that's a good start for her age. She's 17 months old as of Dec 16th and is so happy to be mobile and vocal lol. She'll be transitioning into her new room at school on the 4th. She'll be in a toddler room instead of infant. I'm just so happy for her. They'll be teaching her so much more there and she'll get to be with kids her age, though she will be the youngest for a time. Hehe but I do have to work on a couple things with her...like the fact that she laughs when I say no...and that she screams when she's happy, sad, mad...ANYTHING XD Indoor voices...yeah...XD
Julian: He's growing nice and strong. I have an appt for him and me on Tuesday and I'll update people then with more but last time they checked his heart rate was nice and strong, he was right on track for the latest due date and he's been kicking away. Strong little boy! I'm working on getting his things in order but I still have till April so I have time lol
Overall: Things are pretty good for us. Sure we'd love for Ray to be home, but everyone has to make sacrifices, this is ours. Anyways, here are some pictures to tide you all over until I get off my slacker butt and post again.
