Our new schedule of life is here...

Joel has officially started his job at Target. Although we are still waiting to hear about store placement. Rumor is that he may be getting the position at the store we have been praying for. He was told that the job will be opening up really soon and from what we know he is the only option for that slot right now. This store is about 15 min. away and we will be able to stop in and make that our new Target store to shop at. Unlike, the 40 min. drive right now. Still praying and hoping though. We won't know until the end of his training.

His training is going well and its nice for him to have days off. Even though his 1st two weeks have been super busy with us going to Phoenix and then Nathan and me really sick the 2nd week. But the hours are good and so is the consistency!

We have done a lot in the month of June already. We took Nathan to his first water park experience! It was a ton of fun. Nathan lasted longer than we thought he would and was splashing in the kiddie pool and wave pool the whole time. Even after he face planted a few times in the water, he got right back up and went down the water slides!

Gymnastics is going really well too. Nathan is getting more brave with each week. We thought he would be the fearless Nathan we see daily but he is warming up to all the new things and is having a blast. Joel told me that this week he finally made it onto the trampoline! Its the highlight of our week.

The other fun thing is that Nathan is becoming my little helper! He loves to carry the house keys from the car to the front door, he likes to load clothes into the dryer, and he loves helping me water the flowers in the backyard then the grass (even though we have a sprinkler system). New words are coming out of him weekly and he is signing words and also saying old words that we haven't heard in a while. He can also read letters. If we ask him what letter it is, he will tell us. But mostly he loves being quizzed on comprehension stuff!
