We are having a great week here at the Forster residence. Steve interviewed for, and was offered, the job of Fire Marshal for TVFR on Monday. It's been a job he knew would be opening up in the future, it just kind of happened a little more quickly than we anticipated. He is excited, I think, but also views the increased responsibilities with a slight bit of trepidation. His motto has always been work hard, play harder.
But, we think it was a good move, and certainly we are fortunate that his work has been steady & without alot of ups and downs due to economics.
We've also hit on a dry & sunny patch in the weather! Love the blue skies and 50 degree weather. Nice to not need gloves when we take a walk. Sydney loves to get outside, so we have been walking and playing in the backyard as much as possible. Her movement skills (or whatever you'd call them) are increasing--she spins in a circle, pseudo-jumps (it's like a glorified squat), and climb nearly everything, often using her face for leverage (weird, I know). We frequent indoor climbing gyms/playgrounds for kids, so she's getting quite comfortable with abilities. Another first...Sydney will be staying the night @ her Oma & Opa's this weekend. Her first solo venture! Hopefully it goes well, as I know Lane will not be a happy camper if his sleep is disrupted :)
We are headed to CA on the 22nd, as we had cancelled our original Christmas trip down south. We're looking forward to seeing family, and getting a break from the regular routine.
