All is going good for us. My work continues to move forward and I still love what I do. It is getting into busy season while people try to get surgeries in before the end of the year. There is a lot of uncertainty over what will happen as Obamacare goes into effect. I'm hoping that people will not be scared to get surgery because of larger deductibles and co-pays. All I know is that my insurance premiums will almost triple and I'm not excited about that. Lesley continues to stay home most of the time with an occasional day or two working at her sugar momma job. I'm sure that it is easier to go to work than it is to watch Nolan all day, but I'm glad she stays home to watch little man.
Nolan is getting so big. He is now over 18 months old. He's got all of his teeth. He has the brightest blonde hair. All he does is play, talk, dance, scream, give kisses, and a very occasional cuddle. He loves to poke, hit, and ride the dogs. They take it patiently, most of the time. He's got the sweetest little voice when he says momma, dada, doggies, lola, ollie, bike, NO, STOP, and many more. We've been teaching him to fold his arms. When he does, he covers his eyes, mumbles a few words, and says AMEN. Nursery at church has been awesome, although I miss him a lot.
Well, here are some pics of our recent trip to Utah and other miscellaneous things.
