Sunday Update

We've been doing well and have some pictures to share.  They're all just random glimpses into our lives.  Since our last update, Zander has had a few firsts.

1. Zander ate his first pretzel stick successfully and now eats basically any kind of cracker.  Goldfish usually make him throw up later for whatever reason. 

2. Zander had his first bath without his baby seat and sat like a champ.

3. Zander brushed his teeth for the first time and actually let me brush them without resisting.

4. Zander sat in a car cart with Brayden at Publix.  As soon as I put him in Brayden cried "No! Zander out!" haha. But, as soon as Zander was in he started driving the wheel like he knew what it was! So, I told Brayden that Zan had been watching him to learn how to do it.  Brayden would occasionally reach over to Zander's steering wheel and say "teach Zan how." haha. 

5.  It seems like a while ago now, but Zander also had his first wagon ride. He loved it.

Other updates include, our garage door broke (thankfully the part is only $15), we have a moth/worm problem in our laundry room that is finally on it's way out (I hope!), my Dad came to visit for a day because he had a meeting about a job in Orlando (wouldn't that be cool?), and Preston and I have decided to go back to the CES: seminaries and institutes plan. 

Yep.

We'll finish the PhD here, but then we just feel like this was a scenic route to where we knew we needed to be all along. But, this was definitely part of the plan for us.  It has felt right to be in Tallahassee so we couldn't figure out why Preston still wasn't really feeling settled about his future career as a professor.  After talking about maybe going back to seminary it became clear pretty quickly that that's where we want to be and need to be.  We both still kinda feel like we won't be teaching seminary forever, but that's where we need to start. Who knows where the road may lead us.  Just a little FYI.   

Haha. The bath pictures are just random from when I was trying to get pictures. These are about the best ones I could get of them. Haha. No cooperation sometimes.

First wagon ride!

Random cuteness outside. We often come out on the deck
when Zander gets fussy or restless during Brayden's nap.
He calms right down.

The only picture I managed the day my dad was visiting.

First time brushing his teeth!
