Finally!

Hi everyone. It has been 8 long months since I last posted any pictures. That's way too long, but I really have a good excuse...no high speed internet! That part really sucks. So, I have to make time specifically to post and until this weekend, it seemed like it was never the right time. So needless to say there are a LOT of pictures here. I tried to just pick and choose some highlights from the past few months (Halloween, Kaleb's 1st birthday, Christmas, Spring and Summer).

Life is good here with us, no huge changes. For those of you who don't know I switched locations of my job. I'm now working in Lubbock at a rehab facility - The Plaza. I'm still working in speech therapy with adults and geriatrics. We're really slow right now so work isn't so much fun, but hopefully we'll get going again soon. Casey is still working with Primerica. He has cut down on tree trimming to focus on the financial, which is nice for him (tree trimming in the summer here is not fun -especially this summer -HOT-!). Kaleb has been staying with his Nano and Grandma Marlene a lot this summer to allow Casey some time to work. We'll probably put him in a Parent's Day Out 2x/wk this fall, which we're looking forward to, but nervous about also. Kaleb is really good, finally cutting a lot of teeth. He's all over the place, jumping, running, climbing. Saying quite a few words and signing also.

I'll stop writing so you can get to the pictures. Let me know what's new with you! Love you all!

Here's the pictures in chronological order:
