Please excuse the almost 7 month hiatus, but we're back! Now that we are expecting #2, I hope to get back into blogging, these days when our kid(s) are young we'll be the ones we want to remember, and will be fun for them to read when they are older.
In the last 7 months (some big, some little):
*I (Amanda) was 'pink slipped'/rif'ed/became unemployed for almost 4 months
*I got rehired by the school district and found new dream job as an intervention teacher, working 1/2 days, 5 days a week, pulling students out in small groups to work on math and language arts
*we became pregnant with baby #2, due June 8, 2012
*I was nauseous every evening for 5 weeks straight, Mike was super-dad and husband and took care of everything, while letting me be as still as possible on the couch
*welcomed our new niece "Baby Lizzie"
*Have started letting our 3 cats go outside, Lina and Lula pretty much stay inside all the time and Lani is outdoors almost 24/7 with visits to eat and drink throughout the day
*Mike has started to walk/run/'rulk' in 5K races, we have several weekends in the next few months that we will do mini-vacations revolving around the 5K destinations
*We continue to be Disneyland fans and visit A LOT, Maddy frequently asks to go "See Minnie"
*We take full advantage of our other annual passes to Sea World, Aquarium of the Pacific and LA Zoo
That about sums it all up for the Kitano family! Happy holidays!
