We're here!

Well, we've finally created a blog! (Thanks David!) We've been wanting to do something for awhile now so that our families can keep updated because we don't see some of them very often! It's probably going to be pretty lame, but it's something, right?

So here's what's going on in our little world...Emma, the newest addition to the family, is now 6 wks old already! We had her blessing today. It was a pretty awesome turnout and she looked beautiful in her dress! She is getting bigger and stronger everyday. She is able to hold her head up and about a week & a half ago started smiling when you talk to her. She's still sleeping in Mommy & Daddy's bed at night, but we are hopeful to break her of that habit shortly. We've just been waiting for the crib to be free! Which brings us to Michael. Michael is now 15 months old and is turning into a typical BOY! We just moved him from the crib into his "big boy bed" he got for Christmas last week and loves the fact that he can get in and out of his own bed. Unfortunately, he also loves to open up the door & it is now harder to put him down for naps & bedtime! He loves playing with any kind of ball you can imagine! Footballs, basketballs, golfballs...you name it, he loves it! He also can say everyone of them! Lately, he has become quite the "daddy's boy". It is so cute to watch the two of them play together! He even cries everytime daddy walks out the door, even if it's just for a few seconds! He likes going for rides in daddy's truck because daddy rev's his engine & honks the horn. He recently had his 15 mth check-up and is 25 lbs 32 1/2 inches tall. Unfortunatly, the doctor also found an ear infection, but we've got medicine for him and he seems to be doing better. Jen is still at home on maternity leave and is loving every minute of it (even the rough days)! She hasn't officially left her job, but will probably start that process soon, as she's already half way done with her leave. She's not sure what's next as far as jobs go, but she's sure it's not back where she was. She's hoping to pursue some sort of career in photography, but is waiting for life to either slow down, or get in to a better groove. Ron is still working in Tehachapi and is making the best of his job. It's not the most glamorous of careers, but it's great pay and amazing benefits. He's hoping to soon pursue a career in Parole's and hopefully be implementing that career in the near future. Ron enjoys playing golf and wishes he could play more, but with work & family it's hard to get out. He has become quite the golfer and is one of the top amature players here in Kern County. One thing he's proud of is that he doesn't remember the last time he shot over par, which is pretty awesome! He's trying to teach Michael how to hit the ball, but Michael doesn't have the patience yet to learn, but he will get it soon! Daddy is determined! Ron is currently in the process of trying to switch his work schedule so that his time will be free to be the Assistant Golf Coach for Garces High School. He will be the assistant this year, and then, hopefully, move to Head Coach next year. So far, he hasn't had any luck getting his schedule changed, but we are hopeful!

Well, we hope all is well with everyone & we will keep you posted with updates on The Killmers!
