She Walks!
So what's new in Pittsburgh?
Well, Julianna can walk!! She started walking on her own August 9th. She walks everywhere. However, when she falls, she is unable to stand up on her own in the middle of a room. She has to pull herself up on the furniture or whatever else is around. But that's okay, she will learn soon enough. So now she walks every where. I think in the last few days I have only seen her crawl twice! I would put a video on the blog, but it takes FOREVER for it to upload so I will try to do so overnight tonight and try posting it tomorrow. I hope it works because she is so cute!
Julianna also had her first haircut. Well, I guess it was more of a trim. My mom trimmed around her ears so that it nicely tucks behind her ears. Even though I didn't want to cut her hair, it does look a lot better. Speaking of her hair, I can even pull some up in a tiny pony tail. Its kinda funny looking because it stands straight up from her head, but its cute to see.
Jon has been busy writing letters of interest to accounting firms in the Grand Rapids area. He finished getting addresses for all of them yesterday. He hopes to have them all printed, stuffed and mailed by the end of the weekend, as he starts school on the 31st. Jon also acquired a new internship for the fall with a firm. He is going to be very busy this fall semester so we are asking that anyone who wants to visit wait until December when he is finished. We realize 4 months seems long, but he needs to finish this semester with a bang. In the long run, it will be worth it to postpone visiting so he can fully concentrate. There is a lot of competition out there, and if we want to get back to the Grand Rapids area, Jon needs to do really well grade wise and internship wise, because companies in that area do not know Robert Morris so they will go mostly on what his resume says. Otherwise, we will be staying in the Pittsburgh area for a few years.
So on that note, all you Grand Rapids folks, keep your eyes out for Accounting jobs with CPA firms.
Next weekend my parents are hosting a pool party for their CBS group. According to my mother, she has invited 70 people. For her sanity, I hope not all 70 people show up. So this coming week we will be busy cleaning and preparing. Hopefully there will be no rain the day of the party.
Well that about sums up what's been happening. Hope everyone is enjoying their last weeks of summer!
