Spring Break
This week is Spring Break. With Laura & I both working fulltime jobs now, that means Ethan & Rhianna are spending some time with the Grand-parents. I would say "much needed" but I’m sure the grandparents will be good and tired of them in short order 
Rhianna can be quite a handful.
Last weekend my Mom took Rhianna to see her first real movie: Bridge to Terabithia. Laura and I had been talking about taking Rhi to a movie for quite a while, but we were waiting for a good cute animated flic (something like Cars) before we took her. She’s always been real sensitive to loud noises and we wanted something that would hold her interest. My mom said she was great tho, they sat together (Rhi sat in my Mom’s lap since she doesn’t weigh enough to hold the folding seats down), ate popcorn, and watched the entire movie. Rhi was pretty bored in the beginning, but once all the fantasy creatures appeared she was evidently quite enthralled by it all.
Ethan’s doing great as well. He’s gonna be a huge kid, at only 4 months he’s bigger than alot of 1-year olds. We’re pretty sure it’s gonna slow his progression to walking by a bit, but it doesn’t seem to be bothering him a bit. He’s starting coo’ing and babbling alot, and can just about roll over on his own. He’s currently fascinated by his own hands, and learning how to cram things in his mouth.
As for Laura and Myself, things are going well. Laura’s doing fantastic at her job and even found a great online RHIT->RHIA progression program offered there that she’s investigating. I’ve been doing pretty well at work, spending alot of my time on the new Viz Website. On Monday I received a reward for being nominated for the "Dare to Soar" award (I didn’t win the "Dare to Soar" award, it’s kinda confusing) and got a small monetary compensation that bought a Wii Points Card, Call of Duty 3, and some groceries. Things have been going pretty good, just hope they stay that way
Sometime in the next few weeks we’ll probably try to rally the troops for a big weekend with the Great-Grandparents in Alabama, they haven’t gotten to see Ethan yet except in pictures. It’ll be a long day (3 hours driving there, 4 hours or so there, 3 hours back = 10 hours). We’ll just see how things go.
