Hangin out with Dad

We were at the student center watching the Jazz game, and Kasey looked over at Ady and found her sitting like this. Before I go on further, stop blaming me for not noticing, the game was really close at the end. Anyway, Ady had been sitting next to me and decided she wanted a different seat. So she climbed up on the arm rests and just sat there. Lately she has been trying to climb on everything. Now she just walks everywhere. She has decided walking is far more efficient than crawling. It's really funny when she pushes our hands away because she wants to do it herself.

Play Time!

Ady has a new favorite way to pass the time. She loves going to the park and playing on the slide and in the swing. We are having a party this Friday for Ady's one year birthday. You're all invited! We'll be having cake and ice cream. She decided last Sunday that she could walk. Literally it was like she just decided. Now she walks everywhere. Everyday she has a big fall though. Thursday she had a big bump on her head after she fell flat on her face.

"I wanna go outside"

Adyson is more fun everyday. She is getting into everything! The other day she wanted my snorkel so I showed her how to put it on and she thought she was hot stuff. She was giggling and showing off. Everyday she goes to the door, points outside and squeals. She just loves being outside. Sometimes she'll see other kids out playing in the street or something and will just squeal and squeal pointing outside. We bought her a birthday present last week. Don't tell her, but we got her a forward facing car seat at a swap meet for 5 dollars. She just hates sitting in the back by herself looking out the rear windshield.

Ady in the Spring

Basically we are very busy keeping up with Adyson. She is almost 1 year old-How time has flown by for us! I don't know what we would do without her now. She definitely keeps us up and going and is the entertainment part of our lives. She is waving bye-bye really good now. During one of Adams class Adyson goes to her friend So-eul's house. (Her dad was AP in my Mission) and she is always happy to play with her. She gets there and goes straight in and then waves bye-bye to her dad, her eyes saying "ok-you can leave now so I can play" Its very cute. She is definitely a Daddy's girl now since she spends so much time with him while I work. She is also getting brave and trying to walk but usually falls after 2-3 steps. She is also actually making noise when she claps now too.
Adam is just now starting his finals and getting all his semester projects and reports turned in. He is getting straight A's. I am not sure the exact reason, but here are my top 5 guesses
1. He has figured out how and that you have to jump thru the loops of school
2. He has brain washed his teachers into thinking he's a great student
3. He is doing his homework before the last minute before its due
4. He is finally taking education seriously now that he has a kid.
5. He is in remorse for not taking education more seriously when he just had a wife.
Actually I am very proud of him and glad that he is working hard and succeeding at school. It makes me happier when I am working to support us. I am enjoying my job. Sometimes I don't feel like I have enough to do, but I don't think that will be a problem for long. On top of my normal general ledger and reconciliation duties, they keep giving me more things to do. I just got assigned to be purchasing director in my office, and right now I am reading scholarship essays and I get to input on who gets what scholarships. It is taking a lot of reading about everyones sob-story and why they need the scholarship. Even though it gets redundant, it does make me grateful that I have not experienced what a lot of the foreign students here from 3rd world countries and such have had to go thru and the difficulties they still face.
On a good note though, my boss pulled me in the office a couple days ago and told me that there would soon be a staff position open and that I should apply for it. I guess that means she likes me. This is good because then I will not be a temporary employee anymore and I will get benefits!
