Full Time Position

Kris' internship with SRP did turn into a full time job. He started in May and was hired as a Rotational Engineer. It is a 2-3 year program designed to familiarize engineers with the company. So, our first rotation is here in St. Johns, where we will be through December. Then, we will probably head to the valley. He will be at a plant for 6 months at a time and then go to a different one. So, when we do move, we will try to see where he might end up and try to find something somewhat central to all the plants... Hopefully, then we won't have to move every 6 months. We are excited for the opportunity that this presents us. Kris is enjoying his job and doing well in it. He has been recognized a couple of times for his good work.


Kaylee is 4 and wants to start school right now. She is smart, loves learning, and knows quite a bit. So, we will just have to see. She is going to start a dance class in a couple of weeks. Ever since she saw the girls dancing at basketball games, she has been asking if she could dance with the girls. She is very excited and wants it to start right now. Maizy is 2 and is potty trained. Yeah! She follows Kaylee around and does everything that her sister does. We have 2 of several things because they have to have what the other one has. The girls love playing outside, pretending, getting into mischief, camping, being with family, singing, dancing, playing the piano, swimming, going for walks, swinging, and whatever else they can convince mom or someone else to do. We went camping for a couple of weeks and they were so upset that it was time to go home. They were outside, dirty, and only had to have an occasional bath! They were in heaven.


I did get some pictures taken of the girls and need to post them soon. They are so cute! I will try, but no promises of when I will get them on!

Job Opportunity

Kris was offered a job as a student intern in St. Johns at SRP, a power plant. We are hoping that this internship will lead to a full time job. We are excited! He still has to finish up his thesis, which he has until May to do. We will be living with Kris' parents, which will be fun... we only have to figure out where to put all of our things!

Maizy had tubes put in her ears on November 10th. Kaylee had surgery on the vesicoureteral reflux on December 6th. She is recovering well. We're just waiting to see how successful it was. Time will tell if she gets any further infections.

That's just a quick update for now. Maybe I will write once we're settled in St. Johns, but no promises!
