The many of faces of Allyson

Bear turns 5!

Yep! He turned 5 today! 35 in dog years, and still is as athletic and agile as ever!

Happy Birthday Koda!

What's Ally been up to lately?

It has been quite awhile since I posted about Ally and what she has been up to.

She is counting to 20, identyfing her colors, singing songs, asking questions on an hourly basis (Lol) and completely potty trained for the last 6 months now. With that being said, we are loving this stage but still, very much parents-in-training.

I must share my latest struggle with Ally being bossy. Or better yet, I will refer to it as Ally practicing her "leadership skills". We have many struggles over her thinking that she can tell me, Keith, Logan, Koda and anyone else who comes her way what to do!

According to the book "Happiest Toddler on the Block", I need to develop my toddler-ese. This is where I speak caveman to her, which is how she will best understand me. Let me tell ya, somedays are easier than others!

Here is Ally in her new to her, hand-me-down playhouse, big thanks to the Parkers!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Impromtu tickets to the Pirates Game on a beautiful night in Pittsburgh!

Okay...a few more days than I had planned, but still good news!

Despite finalizing paperwork, I have been super blessed!!

I got the job at North Allegheny School District.

After 1000 applicants, 6 women interviewed, and the top 2 going head to head in a second interview, I was notified that I was CHOSEN!

This is wonderful news for our family. I will be driving less than 7 minutes to work and I will finally have a permanent job. The salary and benefits are great too!

One more plus, this will be the middle school Ally will attend once she reaches of age!

GOD IS GREAT!

Good news!

I will have a bit of good news to share tomorrow...stay tuned!

Koda Bear

Got food??

You can't hear it, but he is moaning along with the sad eyes. Koda knows just how to hold his own in this busy family.
