I'm going to vent, then will provide updates.
One month ago I was home for the day with Miss Taya...she didn't have daycare on President's Day so I had some down time and Taya had just turned 18 months and I had about 10 new pictures to post. Let's just say 3 hours later, the pictures would NOT upload and I wasted my spare time (while Taya napped) with nothing to show for it. Not that I had homework or other housework to do, but I wanted to share new pics with everyone. Well, it's now a month later, I still can't get those pictures posted but luckily I could pull a few fairly recent ones from my camera to show. Sorry it's been so long!!!
Updates:
Ethan interviewed and accepted a post-doctoral position at Ohio State University so we will be moving to Columbus in the near future.
We listed our house that following Monday and had an offer 3 weeks later. We are to close on April 23, which will be here before we know it!
We traveled out to Columbus last week so I could interview at Nationwide Children's Hospital, house hunt, daycare hunt, and take care of some other business in hopes that we won't have to make another trip until we move. We were successful on most accounts...the interview went very well but I haven't heard anything back yet, we put in an offer on a house which we are waiting on a counter (or perhaps an acceptance), and we have a few daycares that we liked.
Ethan's dissertation is next Tuesday so we're looking forward to having family and friends together to celebrate (those who are able to make it) and are happy and excited for such a huge accomplishment!!
Taya just continues to grow and amaze us! She knows so many words and it's nice to communicate with her. If there is something she can't say, we just start asking questions and pointing to things and eventually with her yes's, no's, head nods and head shakes we get her what she wants with minimal whining. She is into coloring and counting. She also likes to watch her Disney shows in the mornings so it's cute to watch her eat her dry cereal and drink her milk and it's nice to have a little time to get ready in the mornings. She also gets excited for her favorite evening show...Wheel of Fortune :).
Hope this finds everyone well and enjoying the more Spring-like weather!
God Bless!
