News, News

Yesterday was a big day. Rory threw up for the first time. All over the floor (and her parents) after dinner at some friends' house. And again in her crib.

But it was a bigger day than that. Blake and his business buddy went to Phoenix to buy their commercial pressure washing equipment! Summit Power Washing is so close to getting off the ground! We're really excited for this venture! And....US Airways called! They offered Blake a part-time job at the Flag airport!!! Not only does this mean we'll have a little money coming in while we wait for Blake to start earning a salary from the business, but we get AWESOME flight benefits!!!! Blake and I and the baby(s) can fly for FREE anywhere in the country, and basically for free internationally as well!! I'm swooning!! I'm so so so proud of my man for getting chosen out of all of the other applicants- he's amazing!

In other news, we got to spend a couple days with some friends from Seattle- Danijela and her fiance Ryan. Danijela worked with Blake and me at BA in Seattle (you've heard of her if you've read Our Story), and we enjoy the two of them so much. We spent a windy day at the Grand Canyon and visited Cafe Ole for a marvelous dinner.

Today we're home taking care of our feverish babycakes instead of going to church, which is a bummer, particularly because it's the last Sunday our friends the Soares (missionaries in Romania) will be here. I think I'll have to look up flights to Bucharest sometime soon...

Rory's b-day party is this coming Saturday, my mom comes on Tuesday, and there's a lot to do to get ready for this milestone!

I leave you with some pictures of the last week or so:

Not too fond of her new sunglasses, but animal crackers help

  2. Pues, el dejo de trabajar en Purina- porque Blake va a volver a estudiar para su Bachelors, sabiamos que era imposible continuar en Purina, porque tenia que trabajar muchas, muchas horas cada semana, sin tener un dia sin trabajo. Entonces, hicimos algo loco- dejamos el trabajo!! Y, gracias a Dios, ahora el tiene el trabajo (medio tiempo) con el aeropuerto, y el otro es una empresa que empieza el y un amigo- donde se limpia el exterior de edeficios, aparcamientos, caminoes grandes, etc. con un chorro de agua muy fuerte y enfocado- se llama "lavar con presion." Entonces, tiene dos trabajos de medio tiempo, y empiezan sus clases en una semana!!! Estamos muy felices!!!
