I am happy to report that the new job is going well. Yesterday I finally got my desk, computer, phone etc... so I can really work now. I do believe that I am going to like it just fine. There are so many perks that make it even more enjoyable. On Wednesday I survived my first courthouse evacuation...apparently due to some repair work the alarm went off. We have to wear identification tags all the time...not only to get in through the detectors but just in case there is an event where they have to identify our bodies...comforting I know.
The kids are enjoying school, Josh had his first field trip to the Battlefields yesterday and Kate had her first field trip to the Library today. They are both learning a lot. Heston is upset because he can't ride the bus with them, but he does feel like a big boy because he is in Ms. Flo's class at school. He is happy to tell you all about it and remind you all the time!! I let him walk to the bus stop with Josh and Kate in the mornings and I pick him up there and take him to school. Well this morning, we were running late (when the alarm went off, I turned it off b/c I thought it was Saturday, only to wake up at 7:15 to realize it was Friday)-- I let the kids walk to the bus stop and the bus got there before I did so Josh got Kate on the bus and brought Heston back home and missed the bus this morning, so Jon took him to school. I am so proud of Josh, he could have told Heston to walk home or stay and wait for me, but he did the right thing, he put Kate on the bus and brought Heston home (and Heston was crying at the top of his lungs) and he missed the bus. He wasn't late to school-lesson learned, Heston can't go with them in the mornings anymore, he just wants to be "big" like them.
Josh's football is going well. His team is undefeated and tomorrow they play another undefeated team...I am hopeful they will win and we will have a chance to go to the superbowl in November. He is doing well in school too so we are proud of him! He has had some minor problems with the last set of ear tubes so we go back to the ENT on 10/21 for another followup.
Kate is learning to read, she is trying so hard and really doing pretty well. I am proud of her. She is loving school and doing well. And as I already mentioned, Heston is doing well.
Jon is staying busy with a friend of ours (Kristi's husband, Kevin) He is a general contractor and thinks he can keep Jon pretty busy through Christmas. We also had an All Glass call this week so as of now, Heston will stay in daycare.
I am about to start teaching a class on couponing at church. It starts Sunday and runs the month of October. It has changed our lives. It is a wierd concept but it works. It is a little time consuming but when I can feed a family of 5 on $50.00 a week it is worth it. I can't wait to show these people the tricks of the trade!
That is it for the Davis news...until next time...CHEERS
