And.....We're back...maybe...hopefully... I have been MIA here in the blog world for about 6 months. So much has been going on with very little computer time. Here's a run down of what's been going in the McPhail house.
A new job for me. I changed jobs in the spring. I'm doing strictly home health and now working with adults and pediatrics. I love, love, love it, but it keeps me super busy. I'm still working with a flexible schedule, but it's definately full. The afternoons I finish early, I usually go pick up the little one and spend time with her. As of last Sunday, I have a broken foot so I've had the past week off to spend some quality time with the fam.
Back to school for the hubby. Jonathan decided (kind of on a whim) that he wanted to go back to school to get a masters degree. He is getting his Masters of Real Estate Development from Auburn University. Luckily, it's a long distance program, but it takes up many of his evenings and a few weeks away each semester. He goes to Auburn for a week of residency at the beginning of each semester and then a week away to study architecture/development around the U.S. The awesome thing is that the last trip of his studies will be somewhere abroad. I don't remember all of the options they are choosing between, but I do remember Barcelona being one of them so that's my vote. If time and money allows, the family will be partaking on that adventure.
A bum computer. My computer has been very shady and not wanting to work at times, but for now it's working so hopefully it keeps it up. We have 3 computers in this house, a netbook, and an iPad. You would think I could use one of the others to update a blog, but Mr. McPhail hogs the other 2 computers and the iPad (they are for work and school) and the netbook, well it's just too small for me.
A toddler. Miss Emma is 22 months old and running on full blast. To update on everything she has been up to would take an entire post of it's own. She is talking up a storm, running around and ruling the house like it's nobody's business, potty training in the early stages, playing very well on her own and also learning to share, feeding herself with a spoon and fork, and teaching us all very valuable lessons. Her vocabulary absolutely blows me away. I always thought 15 words at 18 months and then 200 words by the age of 2 was a bit of a stretch, but now I believe it. Girl can put together 3 and 4 word sentences, sing a few of her favorite songs, and recite every member of our family (and their dogs). She can count to 10, knows her primary colors, and all of the basic shapes. She can jump, skip (sort of), and dance to any beat. She is the center of our world and she knows it.
A new nephew. We have a new little nephew due ANY day now. Sister Stephanie is having a baby boy. Due on October 19th and we can't wait. Stephanie has been anxiously awaiting his birth for weeks now and for her it can't get here soon enough. Baby Jonah will be well loved from the get go with so much family in town and LOTS of cousins to play with. My mom will certainly have her hands full with Emma turning 2 and a newborn to keep during the day. I am confident she can handle it and will enjoy every moment.
Well I plan to update more often, but we all know how that goes. Maybe my next post will be the arrival of baby Jonah. Fingers crossed!
