Ok I realize it has been about a month since I have updated our blog and there has been a lot going on in our little family! Let me start by saying Little Millie is growing like crazy and is doing new and fun things everyday. She is "talking" more, mostly saying "la, ya, da" :) She continue to be very curious about everything around her. She wants to touch and taste everything that she sees. We try to allow her to explore safely and have found that she will eat just about anything that we eat. (Keep in mind we have only let her have a little lick of something to get the flavor, but we haven't found anything that she doesn't want more of, including lemons and limes!) She isn't crawling yet, but is doing the barrel roll to get from point a to point b and is becoming pretty proficient at it. We try every day to get her gut off the floor and to get up on her knees, but she quickly does a face plant into the carpet and just continues to roll to where she wants to go. It is pretty crazy how big she is getting and how fast it has all happened. I get a little sad to think about taking her "little girl" clothes out of her drawers to put "big girl" clothes in!
My Job Hunt: As most of you know I have finally after 10 long months received my PA teaching certificate! Woo Hoo!!! What a process and a pain in the neck! I have actively or some might say obsessively been searching school districts online for open positions. At the beginning of Feb I expressed interest in a position with a local school district for an Instructional Support Teacher. However, I didn't hear anything back from them for a couple of weeks, so I didn't really think any more about it. However on Feb 22nd I got a call to come in for an interview on Monday the 25th. That day I met with the principal of the school and the HR director and found out more about the position and told them a little about myself and my employment history. The interview went great, even the two of them said I would be a great fit for the position. The next day I got a call to come back for a second interview on Thursday the 28th. (There were only two of us called back for 2nd interviews.) At the second interview I again met with the principal and two of the reading specialists at the school and I was reaffirmed that this would be an amazing opportunity for me! However it is now Tuesday March 5 and I haven't heard back from them. I guess it is safe to say it wasn't meant to be. It is disappointing for sure, but it was great to get back into the swing of interviewing again. I am just try to keep reminding myself that it is a blessing in disguise and that I get to spend more time with Millie Raine now! :)
Grammy Schantz (Big Millie): I have to start off by saying my Grammy is such a strong lady! She is always trusting in God and positive no matter what comes her way, she really sets an amazing example! Well as you know she had open heart surgery last August after falling at her house. Well since then she has been in and out of the hospital mostly for a wound on her knee that just will not heal. She has been cut open several times and each time not hearing very good news. She finally went to Philly to get a second opinion and they told her mostly the same thing that her doctors at home were telling her. (The options aren't great!) After much praying she decided to have surgery to take her prosthetic knee out and have an immobilizer put in. (Knowing that in doing this they were going to say and see if the wound would heal and then try to put another knee in.) However during surgery they had a very hard time to get the prosthetic knee out and broke her Tibia in the process. So now she has to be off of her leg completely for 6 weeks and there are a lot of unknowns after that! So please keep her in your prayers.
