Catching a break

After a tough year filled with 100's of applications we caught a break. In the last week James has been offered 3 good jobs. The job we accepted is a Japanese Business Operations Rep for O.C. tanner in Salt Lake City. It's a great job with a great company and James gets to use his Major and Minor! The only downside is we will be residing in Utah for a little while longer:)

So you all know James is pursuing his Masters in Education. Well, can you believe that he wants to shape these young minds and he doesn't even know how to write in Cursive?! He lived in Japan for part of his life and of course they do not teach cursive there. Sunday we sat down and I started to teach him the rarely-used skill. I just have to post a picture because his handwriting is so cute....





















Also, I've been told I need to document all the words Koby says, so here it goes:

For all you Utah moms... Thursdays from 10-11 in Lindon, Jump On It has "Mommy and Me Time". Only $3 for you and your kid. Thanks to my friend Crystal we've made this a weekly event. I need to bring my camera, but I stole these from Crystal's blog... It's even fun for "Mommy" (As seen below...) Oh and if you go, wear socks, and bring an extra pair.
