halloween

Ok, where do I start.  It looks like Micah is going to have to wait another year before testing with the fire department.  Nobody is hiring this coming year and i'm assuming that is b/c of the economy.  He just going to do his EMT-I and then go ahead and go to paramedic school.  In the mean time while he's doing all of that he is going to try and take a test to become an elevator technician.  A guy he works with is doing it and is a trainee and he is making $50/hr so we'll see if that goes anywhere in the mean time.  Gareth found his shadow this past week....haha  It was pretty funny.  We were outside saying bye to Micah one night for work and he saw his shadow on the wall.  It was sooo funny, he kept walking back and forth and stopping and then he'd yell at it.  We were cracking up.  He's finally starting to talk more and mimic what we are saying.  He does it better for Micah, but we are still waiting on a call back from the early intervention department here to get him evaluated and see what they suggest we do to work with him so that he starts communicating with us better.  He was Yoda for halloween last night.  It was Micah's idea for him to be Yoda and it was a huge hit.  We had strangers stopping us and asking if they could take a picture of him.  He got the swing of things really well, he would walk up get his candy and off to the next house.  He had a blast!!!  Not much else is going on just gearing up for the holidays and trying to make plans.  We are exciting about going up to Salt Lake for Christmas, Gareth will have such a blast spending it with Nanna and Pappa and Uncle Wes and Aunt Amanda.
