Happy New Year!





I can't believe it's 2009 already!  Well, so far this year is going well.  Joel has passed his ethics exam which was the last piece needed for his CPA!  Congrats Joel!
He is still at Centex in the accounting department.  I stay busy with my the two crazies and work.  This semester I have agreed to teach online courses for the College of the Sequoias. They were so great to keep me on even though I was moving.  I have never taught or even taken an online course, so this has been a learning experience to say the least.  I am teaching Sociology of Deviance right now and it is SO interesting to hear my students opinions on everyday life matters.

Austin enjoys his new play/preschool group, coloring and dressing up like a pirate, superhero, incredibles, tiger.  His new favorites right now are Wall-E and Madagascar 2.  He is still a very sweet and sensitive boy.  His latest expression ( I hear too often right now) is "you're making me sad."  He comes up with some pretty funny expressions and questions.

Shane is One!! I can't believe he is twelve months already.  His latest accomplishments are walking, saying words like mama, dada, austa, ball, he just started signing "more" and "all done" (so cute).  He loves to play with balls.  He can even kick a soccer ball the full length of the living room- child prodigy in the making :)  His favorite toy at the moment is the Handy Manny tools. shane loves to play peek- a-boo and hide and seek.  When I change his diaper, he loves to roll over and run away- laughing the entire way.  Shane just got another tooth ontop making it his fifth. He LOVES Austin and follows him everywhere.

I am wroking for Stevens Henager College Online division as a Admissions Consultant. It was really interesting to see the class outlines on line. you can do so many more things on line and it wont disrupt your life, on your time, where you want and when you want. Its been a different world. Congrats with Joel. The boys are getting so big. Take care Rachel
