11 Months and Counting

Family pictures at the Getty Museum in LA

Long time, no update! Sort of a theme I have here...busy, busy! Life is good here at the Spaulding Home. Tim loves his job and has flown some really cool aircraft. I'm busy with the kiddos, the other ladies, and my triathlons. Most of you want to know about the kiddos, so here's an update:

Ollie is as smart as a whip these days. He's learning about numbers and letters...all the fun stuff. We're trying to figure out what to do next year for school for him. There isn't one perfect option out there. There are two good options in Lancaster (30+ minutes away). One is a private school (pricey!!) and the other is a Montessori school (also not so cheap). He would get the challenges that he needs, but its a long haul for all three of us to make everyday. There is a lady here on base that everyone raves about, but I'm not sure if he's going to be challenged much there. Odds are that we'll stay on base, at least until we find out if we stay or if we go.

Charlotte is as cute as ever. She turned 11 months the other day. Its so hard to believe that she's almost a year old!! She loves to give kisses, cuddles, and flurberts and her favorite spot is on my hip. Charlotte is close to walking and is eager to run around with the big kids. She'll stand at the kid table and try to lift her leg into the seat, and she has a grin as big as Texas when she gets to sit there like her brother.

Well...that's all for now folks. Hope you are all well!
Love,
The Spauldings
