Our First Blog!

Well, we've done it, we've joined the blog world! We're excited to have an avenue by which to update loved ones on just what our family is up to! We aren't phone people, and we don't do well when it comes to making important visits.... so hopefully this will keep us all interconnected!


Lots and lots and lots going on right now as it's a busy time of year for us. Cameron and Kaden are 6 years old and in 1st grade (the very mention of it gives Mom palpitations at the thought of her baby twin boys growing up so fast). They're playing soccer and although they're not the most athletic on the team, they enjoy it. Not to mention they're reading like crazy and learning so much that Mom wonders how they went to sleep babies and woke up little men. They love their little brother and have recently discovered they enjoy cleaning! WOOHOO! Mom did something right! They've been scrubbing floors and sweeping, now they're learning how to sort laundry. Won't be long, Mom and Dad's jobs will get much more easy!



As for Cole, well, he's just the peachiest little boy you ever met. He is 13 months old (again, Mom is in denial) and took his first three steps away from the ottoman without assistance the other night! He still doesn't seem like he's ready to just take off on his own, but he'll walk along anything and everything that he can hold onto. The livingroom has become his domain, toys EVERYWHERE! He still has two little teeth on the bottom but nothing else but boy can the kid eat! He's still the ham he has always been, wanting to kiss and smile and touch every pretty girl (and most ugly ones too) that he comes across. Poor kid is on his 6th ear infection in his life so Mom is worried we may need tubes!


Mom has gone back to grad school! What in the world was she thinking?! Now that Daddy is done with school and life could be so much more simple, Mom had to go and mess it all up! She loves it though and wishes she had never taken time away from it. She feels good about learning, though time management is tricky. Three years from now she will have graduated and will be moving on to her grown up job as a nurse practitioner! EXCITING!

Daddy is working as a pharmacist in Atlantic, IA right now and seeking out a position as pharmacy manager with Hy-Vee. He loves what he's doing and would be feeling relaxed and laid back if he didn't have these aching body pains! Dad has been having troubles with his joints for about a month and finally went to the doctor, seems he may have Lyme Disease!! Yikes!! Dad got bit by a tick in Minnesota back at the beginning of July so they drew blood work which is pending.





And finally, we have listed our house for sell. It's time to move on from Walnut, IA as Mom wants a school with more to offer for the kids and a newer house a little closer to her job and school. With the economy it's probably meaningless to even have it on the market, but we've buried St. Joseph and we will continue to pray that we see and do as is God's will.
God bless and love to all ~ The Perina Clan
