Latest and Greatest

So to announce the denouncement (if thats even the right word lol) Kyle has decided not to join the army (wew.... a breath of fresh air). It would have been exciting moving around and all, but what wouldn't be exciting is him going to basic training for 9 weeks, officer training for 12 weeks then 3 more courses after that... then getting deployed to hell for 18 months. We decided that if he were going to do that it would have been better to do before we had Porter. So, Kyle is going to be working on his MBA at Westminster. It will be rough having him back in school again and working at Fidelity for another 2 plus years (hopefully he finds a job somewhere else in the meantime). But they are all stepping stones. I am so grateful for my husband and the sacrifices he makes for our family. He is such a great man. Especially for putting up with me. I love him to pieces.
Porter is now 10 months old! Can you believe it! His first birthday falls right on turkey day this year. Poor guy. But he won't notice the difference if we celebrate it another day. He has 7 teeth. 4 on the top and 3 on the bottom. He now says da da and... wait for it... MA MA!!!! He claps his hands for hooray and he can take 3 steps at a time... when he wants to ;) which is ok with me. He crawls up the stairs under my supervision and likes to climb on things. He is an adventurous little boy. And now he knows that tooting is a silly thing to do in front of others and he laughs when he does it. What a silly kid.

And... I have finally gotten all my weight off plus extra. I am officially size 3 and 135 lbs!!! Not bad for being 5'9''

So that is the latest with the Cross household I will keep you updated. Oh... almost forgot... We have reasoning for all of our changes... we'll announce that later. Till then let it remain a mystery!
