John and Jess are now engaged!! He proposed tonight and she said yes!  Welcome to the family Jess!

Reagan had her 18 month check up today and is doing really well.  She weighs 23 lbs 1 oz and is 32.25 inches long.  Her weight puts her in the 25ht percentile and height in the 75th percentile.  She got four shots today including the seasonal flu and the H1N1 vaccine.  Her smart father played Elmo on the Iphone to distract her and it worked pretty well.  She’s such a talker now.  She says so many words like Avocado, Aaron, Keira.  She knows her nose, ears, mouth and eyes and teeth.  She meows when you ask her what a kitty says.  She woofs like a dog.  She’s quite the ham for people at the store or any where.  She says hi to everyone and Bye Bye.  We get so many comments on her personality from strangers.  She really let’s it show when Skyping with family.  We talk to so much family, it’s so great to see everyone and let her see them.  She knows what the computer is and will say “Nana” or ‘Grandma” and point to it so to tell us she wants to talk to people.

As far as the house is concerned, we’re still in limbo.  It was set to auction on October 27th but we got a postponement and are still trying to negotiate.  The next auction date is December 2nd.  We could use a lot of prayers requesting the Lord encourages the bank to modify our loan in a way that works for us.  Or at least to continue to guide us in His plan as he has something figured out for us!  LOL  We booked our flights to San Diego for Christmas finally but there’s always a chance we may be moving and can’t go.  Thank goodness Southwest let’s us keep the credits for future flights.

Mike is getting back in to fishing although he’s going to stay more local and go back to the Pro-Ams and Team tournaments like years past.  His business has really taken off so he needs to be available more often for those calls.  It’s amazing how well it’s working out for him and us.  2009 was a very dark and gloomy year, not just for us but for many people.  We hear all over how people cannot wait for 2010.  Here’s hoping for a brighter future for everyone!!
