Sorry for the long delay in a new post. Between school and the Youth Workers Convention things have been pretty hectic around here. All in all things are good, but way to busy. We've enjoyed seeing lots of old friends in the past two weeks though and seeing our favorite group in concert (last night we saw U2 at Mellon Arena) so it's been worth it. Things won't slow down for a while, but I'll try to be better about posting some pictures so everyone can see how big Negley is getting. She's a blast to be around, and her new thing is spitting. It's really cute and funny, but by the end of the night she's totally wet all over her chest from drool. Awesome. If I can figure out how to post video on this thing - I'll put some cool slober on for everyone to enjoy. And yes, that is a picture of Jason Pauli feeding his 8 month old son a toquito.

No Longer a Puppy

October 8th, 2004 came the birth of seven little puppies in Penn Hills. Jayson and I were the lucky ones who were able to bring home Tillie, the smallest of the litter. She is the greatest dog ever, and today we were able to celebrate her birthday with her mom, Alta and her brother, Copper. The dogs enjoyed running around the farm, eating birthday cake (at first Tillie wasn't so sure about this whole cake eating thing...) and being with family. A good time was had by all. Negley wasn't too thrilled that we had to leave the farm and made sure that everyone knew that and Tillie had so much fun that when we came home she spent most of the evening taking a nap under the couch.

Eating Cereal for the First Time!

Today was a huge day in our house... another first for Negley - Cereal. Not sure if any actually made it to her stomach, but she did look really cute with it all over her. For the rest of the day Jayson was finding it behind her ears, on her forhead, and just about anywhere you can imagine. She seemed to like it, at least she opened her mouth everytime... Tillie seemed to enjoy it as well.

Friday Night

After working with middle school kids all last night, Jayson and Jono came back to watch a movie and hang out - something we haven't done in way too long. Jono, Midnight, and Cool Ranch Doritos... it doesn't get much better than that!

Happy Birthday Lib!

Today is Lib's real birthday, even though we celebrated it on Sunday night with a great surprise party at the Rugby Field. Matt throws a great party... everyone had such a great time. I did forget our camera, so you'll have to settle for a picture of Negley and one of Tillie just for kicks. Not a whole lot has changed this week - this evening we have Geneva for me (can't wait to be done...) and a high school soccer game for Jayson and Negley Anne. Fun for everyone! Enjoy the great Pittsburgh weather today, it won't last much longer.

Welcome October

Sorry for the delay in a new update. If you know the two of us, you know that September is a very busy month both for school and ministry. It was a good month though, and we seem to be getting into a good routine. Negley and I are looking forward to Sayward's baby shower, and Jayson is looking forward to next week's Steeler game. This weekend seems pretty boring not having a game to watch. Hope all is going well to everyone who reads this!

Negley's First Game

Negley's first Steelers game.

Fall Has Arrived

Well fall has finally arrived here in western PA and with it all the familiar things: changing leaves, shorter days, steeler games and the daily routine of work, sleep, work, sleep. It may sound boring, but in a strange way Katy and I are happy to be getting back into more of a schedueled life. Katy is enjoying her new job at Langely High School and I am excited about thing this fall at St. Stephen's. We have also been enjoying the Steeler season so far. We are forutante enough to get ticket to the opener (Thanks Uncle Jimmy) and we took Negley to her first game. We don't have any pictures of the game yet. They are in Katy's phone and we have not figured out how to get them off yet.
