Welcome to our new blog! Amanda has decided that as a way for all our friends to keep up with the goings-on with our family, being so far away, that we will post blogs every sunday to let everyone know what is going on....especially pictures of the boys so everyone can see them grow!
So right now, the major things that have happened recently:
Amanda was hired as an army civilian, working in the same clinic but now has better benefits and a very stable job. Yay, no more worries about contracts ending!
Rob is working on several things. He is set to deploy next year. He is trying to get surgery to remove the excess skin he has from losing 110lbs and also Lasix for his eyes. He is also trying to promote to Sgt, and is thinking of signing up for re-enlistment. We may get to chose what post we move to next, Ft. Drum(NY), Ft. Lewis (WA) and Ft. Bragg (SC) are all on our short list. We could move as early as Jan or it could be a long while.
Peyton & John have
a speech problem. We've spent since March trying to get them into some program to help. We are finally in the final stages of getting help from the local school system. Amanda's nephew went to speech a while back and her sister said it helped a bunch so we're hoping for similar results. The boys are SO excited that they are going to get to "GO TO SCHOOL!!!". They are speaking in more full sentences and say more words, but most are unrecognizable to anyone but mom & dad so we hope there is some change....

He is working on becoming mobile. He still hasn't gotten crawling down in 
the least bit, but he scoots a lot on his butt and does get places....he LOVES to walk holding our hands and tries constantly to pull up on furniture....surely he'll be walking soon. He is also learning his voice! His first word was "Hey", followed shortly by "Mama" (this word is often SCREAMED at mommy when she comes in the door from work or to get him up in the morning or after nap) and his new favorite, "Dada"! He loves feeding himself (making a HUGE mess!) and the ensuing baths (especially with his big brothers). We can't believe we'll be planning a first bithday party for our little guy soon!
