Ya-Hooo!!!! Life is definitely good when payday falls on a Friday! Ok, drum roll please!!! We have been on our new budget for almost 4 weeks now, and we have money in the bank, and money is savings! Isn't that fantastic?!? It is so very tempting to go out and spend the extra money on things I've just decided we did not need at the time. But, hey, we went 4 weeks without, I guess they are not that important after all. My big splurge were some PJ's for Nathan when I went to Target to stock up on diapers. Great deal by there by the way if you need diapers. Tomorrow's the last day.
This week was qutie the work-week. I, for one, did not enjoy work very much. We had a stressful staff meeting Tuesday. Everyone is on edge about their jobs. The students were difficult. Makes my job extremely difficult when I try as hard as I can to reach them, and just hit a brick wall. I definitely welcomed the weekend, for me, AND for the students. Hopefully, next week will be better.
The kids are great, as always! Natty loves gymnastics! She is more into the social-factor though. She loves being able to run around and be with kids her age. She knows ALL capital letters now. She can also count up to six (she can also count up to 5 in mandarin). She knows the numbers 2 and 6. She also knows quite a few colors (black, blue, pink, red, yellow, green).
Nathan is doing great! He has 6 teeth, the 6th one breaking through this past week. He is SO close to crawling. Doesn't look like he'll do Natty's commando-crawl, but that's ok. It's so cute to watch him get on his hands and knees, then start inching backwards. He is also very close to sitting himself up. He can sit by himself if you place him on the floor. He's also gotten pretty good at entertaining himself. He is starting to like his cereal (finally!) and some fruits. He eats like a champ. He likes apples, bananas, and pears. :)
Tim and I are good. We don't like our work schedules very much, but it's the cost we gladly pay for not placing our kids in daycare at this point. Tim started teaching his FIRST college course a few weeks ago. I think he's doing fabulous. We also celebrated his "29th" birthday last week. :)
Well, that's an update into our lives. Hope you guys are off to a great weekend!

Sorry to hear that your job is stressing you out. Mine is really stressful for me too, which is a shame because it makes me like it so much less and I just work for the weekend (I mean, there are the small rewards, but overall its rough!) As much as you don't like your job right now, I hope that you are able to keep your job though! That has to be a horrible feeling, not knowing. Wow the kids sound like they are growing super fast! Can't wait until we get to meet everyone someday!
