Moving Out and Moving On

Happy December! So much change is brewing for our little family! First, my nephew was born on November 20, 2008...Nathan Ciabattari. He was born 7 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. He is so cute...like a little Vietnamese version of my brother. :) Mary and the rest of the family are doing well and Olivia is already proving to be a very involved big sissy.

Second, Dan has been selected to be a PIO (Public Information Officer) for Western Washington. This is a specialty position within the rank of trooper. He is really excited and I know he will do great. Make sure to look for him if you watch Western Washington news! :) Anyway, because of this opportunity and the recent hiring freeze in the WSP, we have decided to stay in Western Washington. We have our house officially on the market and hope to sell and buy something a bit bigger, but are also fine with keeping our roots in our little Milton house, if that is God's plan. Spokane is still an option, we've just put it on the back burner for awhile. Third, Ellie is in the "potty training process" unofficially. I have no real clue how to teach her so I am just doing what I think I should to encourage the process. I can honestly say, I am totally at a loss with this one. In any case, here are some pictures of her "progress."

Hooray!

Way to go!

and then we are back to where we started... :)

Finally, no news in the baby department. Please continue to pray that God will bless us with a healthy pregnancy soon!

Lots of Love, Ang
