Finally

Last night Drew got the offer from PNNL! We are relieved and excited. We were both having a hard time sleeping over the past few weeks waiting to hear from them. Now we are having trouble sleeping again because we are anxious about all the details that need to be taken care of to make the move and get Drew all set up for work. We know there are lots of people out there right now looking for work, so we feel really blessed that this has worked out for us, and now we get to be close to our families! YAY!!!!! (My brother Luke would be totally annoyed that I put five exclamation marks, but in this case it really reflects how I am feeling. HA!)


Side Note: Thanks for all the tips about throwing fits and shopping with babies a couple weeks ago. Things have gotten much better. We go shopping with lots of snacks. :) The biting thing ended up being a really short phase. One time she bit me and I was stern with her and she got mad and bit her own arm. It made her cry and she did it again and cried again. I was having the hardest time controlling my laughter. It was the craziest reaction ever! She hasn't been into biting since then. I read online that if a baby throws fits at this age you are just supposed to ignore it, so that's what I've been doing. I also decided she was really just doing it when she needed attention like when I'm cooking or cleaning...or maybe a little distracted by the computer or something. So I've been working harder at always having things for her to do. She lives in the spotlight. She really is a happy girl if she has something to do or someone to pay attention to her.

Here's the happy girl this morning!
