Tucson Toilings

We're well aware of the overall disappointment that will come from this blog entry only including one new photo of my child, but until we dig out our camera chargers, all I have to say is tough crunchies.

We can, however, fill everyone in on what we have been doing the last few weeks. Kara and Addie spend most of their days in the house since the daytime temperature hasn't dove below 90 since we arrived and Addie wants constant entertainment. She's also starting the wonderful process of teething, so she's constantly trying to chew on everything. She's even resorted to chewing on our noses if she can get her little gums around them. Eric's presence upon the end of the workday is welcomed so Kara can talk to someone who responds with actual words and gives her a break from the 9-hour variety show she has to perform each day.

We do love our house, though that's still a work in progress. We already received a notice from the housing association about the empty boxes on our back porch, though somehow it was dated the day we moved in...not sure how they knew we were going to have them there...

We were invited to try out a church in town that has a Sunday School class that we're hoping can provide some much-needed new friends. Eric has been able to hang out with some guys a little bit, but Kara is still waiting for her first reprieve with some other women. The people are very nice and hopefully with time it will develop into something that will provide those relationships.

The job front for Kara has no news, which is agonizing for both of us. Any answer at this point in time would be better than dangling on a wire. While we are of course hopeful for a positive response, we're just very anxious to know what direction to move in. Now if QLogic wants to pay Kara to do nothing, we'll gladly cash their paychecks...though that's probably not going to happen. A second income is going to become very necessary in the near future...otherwise we'll be repacking boxes and heading to live with one set of parents.
