Exciting times...

As I write this update, I am listening to Josh play with Jonah in the living room and Jonah is clearly saying "mama"!  Jonah is now 10 months and 3 weeks.  We can't believe the little boy he is becoming.  He is learning so many new things.  He loves to stand and practice walking.  He talks, and I swear he said "nanna" a couple mornings ago when I was making him breakfast.  He is clapping and doing "arms up."  So fun!  Soon he will be walking and turning one...can't believe it.

As some of you may have heard, I did not get either of the teaching jobs here in Pinedale (but came in a strong 2nd for both).  It was heart breaking because I am so eager to become a teacher but I feel fortunate to continue to stay home with Jonah.  I do have a job serving tables 3 nights per week at the brewery.  The tips are fantastic, so if nothing else comes along, this will provide us with the desperately needed money, me adult time, and Josh one-on-one time with Jonah.

Last week, my mom, Jonah, and I went to Denver to visit and help my Oma and Opa.  Although it can be hard to see them aging, we had a good visit.  Here are a couple of pictures.  One with Oma, Great Oma, and Great Opa, and the other is Jonah in his pool.
