10 months already!

Andy was invited to take the Civil Service test at Illinois State University and placed third so was invited back for another interview. Please pray for this to go well. This would be a wonderful opprtunity for him and us. I have a trial project with a local Training agency doing some work-from-home things. I will do my best because it pays well and could be a steady flow of work I could do from home and be with the girls.

Hannah has mastered the knack of bringing things with her, she puts them in her mouth and crawls on. Both chase the cats, who are getting used to them and tolerating them quite well. Usually they let the girls pet them, but sometimes they run and hide, which the girls think is a game.

We took our first boating trip with the girls last month and had a blast. The life jackets weren't thier favorite, but they did well, after they got used to it. Hannah refused to sit up for a while while Christy was holding her, instead, threw herself backward and fought every effort to make her sit up. Honetly, it was funny. We parked the boat in shallow water and put them in thier floaties. Then parked later where Bre and I could get out and swim where we couldn't touch the bottom (we hate touching, it's gross).

It was really nice to be out with Christy, she's a wonderful sister-in-law and we all had a blast.

Well, almost 11 really! Well, the girls are formally crawling and Abi is just a "step" away from walking! I think she actully took a couple of steps today from the walker to the side of the couch by herself! Oh dear.

They are getting into everything, love the dogs water, food and the cat food if we leave the door open for them. They are starting to work together to get into trouble, Hannah is teaching Abi how to share and Nala is still indifferent to their pulls and tugs on her. She has even taken to sleeping in thier room before Andy and I go to bed.
