So what have I been up to in October.

The kids and I have started Geocaching. It’s treasure hunting for the whole family using a GPS unit. We went to an intro session today and now we’re all hooked. It’s been on my to do list for a while, so next step is buying a GPS unit. Anyone have any input?

The kids have a new half sister. Kevin and Melisa had a baby girl on Friday morning. The kids are excited about having a baby sister. This is a big change for them to process, so we’ll be watching carefully to see how they adjust. Alec had some concerns up to this point, but I think he’s ok now. I’m mostly concerned about Bram as he’s been the baby of the family for so long. Although in many ways I think it will be beneficial for Bram to learn about others needs as well.

We’ve had some challenges with Alec in school and bullying (most of it happening on the bus). But we’re addressing it from various routes. His teacher has been excellent about being proactive to help provide support.

Work is going very well, we’re launching a brand new site design very soon. I can’t wait. I have to say I love my job even if it does keep my extremely busy. I’m in a position where I have to learn new things all the time and I thrive on the challenge. I’ve also been very fortunate to network with so many people online and learn from their expertise.
