Hello Friends and family, I know I need to updated this blog and I will get some pictures as soon as I get the internet at home. But for right now I will give you an update on how our family is.

Calista is growing up really fast. She repeats everything we say and it is freaking me out. She is 20 months old and she is still tiny any petite. I don't know were she got that from. It wasn't from me. She loves reading, playing and helping me in the kitchen. She likes it when I set her on the counter so she can watch me bake or cook. She burned her hands about a month ago, so she knows that the stove is hot. Her hands have now healed (thank goodness), it was really hard keeping the cream on her hands.

I am doing good. I just went back to work full time at the Bank of Commerce, so hoorah I get back benifits. It was really hard not having insurance and personal time. So things are good with me.

Kirk is doing well. He is trying to pull himself out of the dumps, because we just don't think that Dental school is going to happen and we have spent so much money for applying and interviews this past year. Kirk is pretty bummed, he is so smart and it kills him not to be able to provide for me and Calista the way that he wants to. So right now he is looking into some other careers. I hope he figures out what is next soon.

Have a great day, We love you all who support us and love us. Thank you!

I am so glad to hear all is well! Tell Kirk not to be discourage. Sometimes things happen for a reason - you two are doing what is right so that means something better is waiting! Trust me, we know! We have been there!:)

Hi doll! So sorry Kirk hasn't gotten into dental school . . . ya know, I have a bit of experience w/ business failures and what nots :). Maybe there is something else he's supposed to do or just not go to school YET! I wish you lots and lots of happiness w/ whatever it is, wherever it takes you, however it has to come about. Prayers and thoughts with you! HANG IN THERE! Love, Sami
