So here is our biggest news -- Tyler has a new job! That's right, after so many months of interviewing and offers that fell through, Tyler got an awesome job offer. He will be a Superintendent again but on a much bigger project. And with better compensation. : ) We are very excited. Here is Tyler's "I got a new job" face:
He looks excited, right?? : ) However, the job is just north of Houston so we do have to leave our new home in San Angelo. We have had a wonderful year here and soon I should post a tribute to San Angelo, our friends, and our church here - so be on the look-out! But this was an opportunity we just couldn't pass up. Houston here we come!
A great bonus is that one of my friends from college lives right there! She was in drama ministry with me in college, one of my favorite parts of college. She is two years older than me, and I haven't seen her since she graduated. And she has three kids, and the youngest is a girl just a bit younger than Esther!! Instant playdates - yes!!!!
So Tyler already left to start working at the new job and I am still here with the kiddos getting the apartment all packed up and ready to go.
Want to know the first thing to do after Papa leaves? Eat mushrooms!! That is definitely something I cannot do with Tyler here. : ) Esther tried some ...
But then she put them back in the bowl. Oh well ...
Esther playing in her kitchen before it went bye-bye ...
And how is Jesse taking all of this? Well, he likes his feet and his toes - a lot.
Shoes, no shoes ... doesn't matter.
Esther is quite fascinated with the fact that everything Jesse can grab goes in his mouth. So that was some entertainment for a while ...
Poor Sammy had to participate too.
I am trying so hard to catch Jesse. He is now sucking his thumb with his right hand and holding onto his ear with his left hand. It is super adorable but he always stops when he sees the camera. I got close this time but he let go of his ear too quickly. I'll keep trying!
And we just hang out in between the packing ...
Tonight we made a special treat with whole wheat toast, butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon - a kind of slightly upgraded cinnamon sugar toast. Esther loved her treat - yum!
Before he left, I overheard a conversation between Tyler and one of his guys. He asked Tyler if he thought he made a good decision to leave the old job for the new. Tyler's answer was "Yo pienso" (they were speaking Spanish). That means "I thinks so" or at least roughly that's what it means. This does feel like a good decision. Tyler's feedback after his first day was glowingly positive. He is looking for us a house to rent and hopefully we'll have glowingly positive feedback about that too. : )
And now a special message for my husband, Tyler Williams, who will be reading this post from Houston -- we love you!! And we miss you. Have a fabulous first week at your job, and I can't wait to be home with you. : )
