Well, here we are, it's been a little less than a year since the last post, so we're making a new year's resolution to keep up with this a little better (maybe we'll update every 6 months!).
Let's see, new updates...oh yeah, we have a daughter! She is 7 and 1/2 months old (boy it goes quick), her name is Abigail Elaine, we call her Abby, Little Miss, Wee One, Little Monkey, Munchkin Doodle (Skyler tried to veto this one), Popsquat (Meghan did veto this one), and Toadstool (also vetoed, you can guess by whom). She is our high-maintenance little girl who enjoys everything from waking up several times a night, to being carried around most of the day, to back massages. But, all of the high maintenance is worth it when she flashes that round-cheeked, gummy grin. Like most babies, she is rather gassy. She has a knack for picking opportune times the do it, like during quiet moments in church, or when Meghan is holding her and then bends over to pick something up. We enjoy all the humor she brings to our life, she is wonderful.
Meghan is loving having the summer off so she can just be "mom". Her experience this past winter semester of juggling work, homework and the Wee One was a little a little less than desirable, so this break from school was much needed. The break is also giving her a little more time to take care of the household and her husband who has become the other child as of late (more on that later). She is also getting in some summer reading, including the Chronicles of Narnia (her and Abby are reading that together, they've already finished the Hobbit).
Skyler is broken. He broke his collar bone a few weeks ago playing ultimate frisbee. Hence, he has become another child for Meghan to take care of, and she is trying her hand at single parenting. Besides being broken, he is also unemployed! He is currently looking for a job that will allow him to go to school a little more and therefore finish faster, which in turn means a job that pays more than peanuts. He is currently taking one class this Spring term and plans on taking two in the Summer term.
