This, that and everything else!

Well a quick update on Emily. Her doctor's appointment didn't go as bad as I thought it would. The good news is she is back on the growth curve for height. Now we just have to get her weight back up.  It's a long process and I really do think that she is just going to be a petite girl. It's not like I'm the tallest person or Jason either!  Abby has been doing cheerleading for the last 2 months and she loves it.  She has become quite good at learing all the cheers and she really enjoys it.  I am amazed that she knows so many cheers and all the arm and leg movements that go with it. Abby has been doing some great art work at school too. I'm going to post a few of her pictures so you can all see what she has been up too.
 We had a bit of a disappointment last week.  Jason's career goal is to make Warrant Officer and we missed the alternate list by less than 3points!  It truly was a blow for him but he will try again next year!  I've tried to stay positive for him through this but it was really a disappointment. His scores went up almost 40 points from last year so we were shocked we didn't make it.  It doesn't help when everyone is telling him that he's a shoe in either.  You get that false sense of security.  I truly believe with all my heart that he is made to do this.  He loves his job, he has such knowledge and now all he needs is the promotion!  He amazes me with all he does and how he handles the stress of a job that doesn't always realize all he does.  I hope our prayers are answered next year and he is promoted.  We have one more year here in NJ to make it happen! Other than that things are going well.  We are all anxious for some warmer weather and what that brings but it seems Winter is not quite done with us yet!  We had snow Tuesday and it was quite frigid this morning.  I'm ready for Summer, the pool and our fire pit and s'mores!
