Heaven's where does the time go??????

I can't believe that I haven't posted anything for over six months. Well, I've been busy. I got let go from my job at the school. About five weeks ago, I found a job at a day care taking care of the older school children. I LOVE it now that I have my own classroom. I have completed my first set of classes and I am half way through my second set. Jon has become a party animal, suggesting that we attend and actually attending our old friend's Talk Like a Pirate Party!!! It was soooo much fun!

We arranged to have our dog bordered for our trip to Florida and are looking forward to a long vacation. The Lancer is paid off - a full seven months early opening up some money in the budget. The house hunt is halted because we can't seem to unload this stupid trailer!!!

Dominique has passed off her soft shoe steps and moved into the advanced beginner class. Her first feis (competition) is October 10 in Provo. We are all very excited although she claims to be more nervous than excited. If you want details, let me know. I am soooooo hoping that she does awesome! I promise to take pictures this time - I swear!!
We also had the investiture and rededication for Girl Scouts on the 30th of September and she is now officially a Brownie girl scout. I am not sure if we can put anything more on her plate.

Xander is finally walking with persistence and shoes. He is so cute - military walker just like he crawled. He says "We did it!" when he claps his hands and is becoming more vocal everyday. He absolutely refuses to being helped when eating and has an increasing interest in utensils. Kinda crazy!!! It just took him seeing a lot of other kids walking around and talking before he bothered to become interested. But it worked!!
