9 Months

Well, it's been a busy past few weeks. With the school year slowly coming to an end we are all ready for summer to start. Caden has been growing like crazy, doing something new everyday. He finally got his first tooth about two weeks ago and he hasn't stopped getting teeth since. He now has two little stubbs on the bottom and his top front two are right on the edge of breaking through. Needless to say, he's been a bit fussy with all of this sore gum business. I am on a mission this weekend to buy his first toothbrush - can't waste any time with his personal hygene. :)
Caden and I went on our first trip alone together last weekend. We flew up to Reno to visit my mom for mother's day and to see her new house and help her get settled. We had a lot of fun and Caden got to meet lots of new people. He finally got to meet his uncle Nathan and spent some time with his cousins, Lilly and Keagan. He also got to hear the uncles play in their band (Mick and Charlie) and he loved the loud music almost as much as he loved hanging out with his cousin Carlie all night.
We got to spend some time with the Pinks too so Caden got to see his Aunt Leslie again while Rick helped fix some odds and ends at mom's house. We left to come home on Monday but had to stop in Carson City to meet up with some more friends (Becky and Jessica) for lunch. We flew home that night and we have been trying to catch up on sleep ever since. All in all it was a great trip and we are very glad we were able to go.
Cory has had an exciting couple of weeks as well. He finished the first semester of his Master's program with flying colors and even got 100% in one of his classes. Pretty impressive. He was invovled in presenting a "webinar" online this week on the social networking he is doing with his high school students. He is making lots of connections and moving up in the world of online education.
Until next time...
