I'm Still Alive and Kickin'

I am embarrassed by how long it has taken me to update this blog! I was about ready to ditch it completely when finally I decided I need to keep it up! Let me assure you that life has been a little crazy over her at the Spalding house. In July I started working (from home) making tutus for poshlittletutus.com. As if that didn't keep me busy enough in August I started my second job as an office assistant for my cousins' transportation company. I love it but most of all I love the fact that I am able to take Cora to work with me! It is a little hard getting work done with her running around but she usually naps for two hours and she is pretty good at finding things to get into while I am distracted!

Ben has been pretty busy with work. We are still trying to get his school situation figured out since back in July his employer gave him an ultimatum...to continue his employment or continue his education. Hopefully he will be able to start night or online classes at UVU come January! Ben is also getting ready to run the St. George Marathon this Saturday. He has been training all summer and I am excited to see his hard work pay off as he accomplishes his goal!

Cora is growing like a weed! She is now 18 months old and is old enough to go to Nursery at church! Hallelujah! At her doctors appointment she measured in the 65 percentile for her height at weight! She isn't talking as much as she should so the doctor suggested speech therapy starting in three months if things haven't improved by then. We are not too concerned as she seems to understand what we are saying, she just hasn't really started using her language skills yet other than to say, "hi dog, hi cat, meow meow, and thank you". Yes, she is a little obsessed with animals of any kind, especially dogs and cats!
