Update
We are in a bad need of posting new pics of Graham. Everyday it seems like he is shedding babyhood for boyhood. He only has one thing left that reminds me of him being a baby...the bottle and that is almost gone. Graham has always loved his bottle so I have been putting off the day when he had to be rid of it. But surprisingly he is giving it up easily. He is a bigger boy than I imagine. I think it is mostly me who does not want to give up the bottle. I like that few minutes he is still in my arms and twirls my hair with his fingers. It is hard giving up those moments. But he is creating other special moments in their place.
He had his check-up not too long ago and he continues to be a big boy. He has dropped his percentiles to 70th in weight. But he continues to be in the 95th in height. I know it is too early to tell but I wonder if he is going to take after my dad and uncle and be at least 6'4"? It seems weird to think about looking up to my son.
In other news we have had some changes lately and more to come. Some of you may not know but Travis lost his job back in June. It came as quite a shock even though we thought it could happen. The company he was working for decided to pull out of Alabama so he and my sister lost their jobs. Thankfully four of the PAs decided to start a similar business and brought Travis along as their first employee. We only went two weeks unemployed. But during those weeks we had no idea what we were going to do so we did a lot of soul searching about jobs, life and the future.
Travis has always talked about wanting a field. Most of his jobs have just happened and have been fine for the time being. But when they get taken away like this last job it left him(us) wondering what to do next. That being said Travis has decided to go back to school. Everything happened fast and we are thankful he got in and was able to start this semester. And since the company he is working for is just starting they were more than willingly to cut back his hours and work with his school schedule.
We still have one more decision. Our lease ends at the end of September and we are not sure yet where we will be living. But we hope in the next few weeks it will all clear up. I never would have thought that my northern husband would be getting a degree from Alabama. It is so weird that he has classes in the same buildings I did. At least I can get football tickets again. We can sell them and pay for school. Roll Tide.
