Today is a very special day for us! Angel turned 1 YEAR OLD TODAY! She is so sweet! We told her that it was her birthday and she was 1 now; she started clapping and said "YEA!!" What a cutie!
It's been amazing to watch Angel the past couple weeks; she has changed so much. She is really learning new things and growing up so fast. The progress is amazing to me and to be able to watch life happen through a child's eyes is awesome; you begin to see how unimportant things really are.
Jon is enjoying his new job at the school as the assistant technology coordinator. He's learning his way around my old stomping ground (which has changed a lot in the past 10 years...now I'm dating myself). I'm a little nervous about what kind of stories he might hear about me, but so far I've only been told there have been positive things said...surely there aren't any bad things to be said about me ;-)
Everyone here is sick (except me), so I'm having to be the nurse! Hopefully I won't catch the nasty mess that's going around! We are hoping everyone will be better by this weekend and then we will be able to celebrate Angel's Birthday!! Not much else to report on this end. No pictures still, not even sure where the camera is packed right now...guess I better find it before we have a birthday party!

Lots Happening!!
The Barnes' household has been hopping lately with lots of change! We have spent the last month making numerous major changes. Jon got a job working "in my old stomping ground"; he's working for the school district that I graduated from! And as most of you know this took us from living in Virginia to living in Kansas. It's an exciting change for us and we are really enjoying our first week back, with lots of snow to enjoy.
We made the trip back to Kansas from Saturday afternoon to Monday night, it was a quick trip! We were concerned how it would affect Angel and the animals. They all did very well. Angel was a champ...she didn't fuss a bit! The bird, Trip, talked the entire way back...helped to keep us awake. Daisy, Angel's puppy, slept the entire way back. They all did great; we were very blessed!
Angel has been changing a lot on her own as well. She is growing up so fast. She will be a year old this week, 4 days in counting. She has started to take steps on her own now. Over just a two day period she has gone from taking two steps on her own to walking about 6 steps down the hall on her own. She's so precious! She is talking all the time and the amazing thing is you can actually understand some of what she is saying...if you can talk like a southerner ;-)
Angel has adjusted really well to all the change. I've been very surprised to see her adjust so well. We are hoping to have our own home soon, but are enjoying staying with Granny and Papa for now. Angel is loving all the attention! We are blessed to have such wonderful family!
No pictures for now, been too busy to take pictures unfortunately. Hopefully I will get back on the ball soon.
