Here is an update of what our family is up to lately:
Liam: is approaching 11 months. He thinks he is a very big boy and he is. He is 18 pounds and growing taller everyday. He is a speed demon crawler and furniture cruiser. He has two teeth on the bottom but none on top. I think the top two front teeth are slowly making their way though. He loves to open and close drawers. Take stuff out and put thing back in. He loves to play with his big wooden box, talking table, wooden rings, monkeys, kitchen utensils, and especially toothbrushes. He is a good eater. Some of his favorites are avocado, watermelon, cantaloupe, chicken, cottage cheese, cheese of any kind, blueberries, mangoes, and anything that mom and dad are eating (but don't count on him keeping it in his mouth). His favorites books are Mommy, Pajama Time, Good Night Moon, and The Foot Book. One of his most favorite things to do is swing. He could swing forever if we let him. He will get highly offended if you pass by a swing set and do not let him have a turn. The thing we love most about him is his happy nature. He is a really smiley guy and loves to laugh, giggle, wrestle, receive and give kisses.
Kelby: Is doing the work thing. Recently my job has changed titles, descriptions, and tasks. I am now a Case Manager. This means that I am over everything medical for two groups of students. We are being trained over the next few months on everything we have to do. It involves clinical things like assessments, medications etc. as well as paper stuff like statistics and chart reviews. I'm excited because it is something new and I can focus my attention on my kids and my job instead of what everyone else is or isn't doing. I'm still trying to figure out what I do now besides take care of Liam, household duties, and work. I haven't had much free time to pursue things I enjoy, but will hopefully have some soon. I still am trying to live by the motto "Do more with Less" and have found it to be fulfilling.
Jesse: Is doing the celebrating thing! I successfully passed my social work board examinations yesterday on my 29th birthday, which almost makes me feel my age. I am currently working part time at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center as a crisis worker in the Emergency Department. Much of what I do there involves helping families manage medical crisis, determine whether or not a person needs to be admitted to a psychiatric unit due to mental health reasons and help people resource mental health services in the community. It is an engaging, unpredictable and challenging job. Other then that, I'm enjoying parenting Liam, getting things ready to further advance ClergyBridge and setting the stage for full time employment.
