I guess it's my turn to update my blog. I like the excuse of pictures and that way I don't have to write too much :) Potty training is going surprisingly well considering the fact that I'm not doing anything. Colton reminds Noah throughout the day that it's potty time and he goes.
As many of you know, we've been exploring career opportunities for Tom. He was sort of planning on going into plumbing. This would mean a 60% wage cut for the next 4 years for us, but we're in a position to make it work. He has received a few extremely good job offers in the meantime and so it all came down to decision time last week. He has finally decided to take another mill job in Burnaby. This job is much easier on the body than his last one and the pay is even better. A few guys from his last mill are also going to be working there, so he knows a few people he will be working with and has already organized car-pooling. So, he will be starting on April 3rd.
It's nice to have settled on something and not be wondering what the next few years will be like in a basement with 3 little ones. We still plan on staying here for 2 years and hopefully move on to our own house after that. We've also talked about me doing hair when we have our own place and I'm excited about the possibilities there. It's exciting to be able to plan ahead and hopefully settle down in a neighborhood before Colton starts kindergarten. We've dragged these boys around for a while and I think it's time to plant some roots.
