Neglectful

I realize that we have been terrible at updating the blog as of late. SO here is the latest on the Corsos in FLorida...

Stella has been suffering from chronic ear infecitons again! We have been battling her daily to get her to take her medication. We have tried bribing her with jellybeans, Elmo dvds, potato chips - you name it and we have tried. The most current med is quite nasty so she isn't biting on any of our bribes. So it has been battle. On the plus side she will be getting another set of tubes on Wednesday so this should all be over soon. Please keep her in your prayers. I am sure you are not surprised to hear that this has not slowed her down much. She whipped out a full song of ABCs tonight which I had no idea she knew - in Stella fashion she told me "no mommy, Stella sing." So I wasn't even permitted to join in the fun. She continues to boss Clancy around.

As for me, I have accepted a faculty position at Bethesda Naitonal Naval Medical Center through the Public Health Service. This was wonderful news as it was my first choice among my interviews. It is a relief to have that piece secured. I am feeling well and am in disbeleive that I have officially entered the 3rd trimester. The next Corso will be born in a few months. I have been busy planning for him but unfortunately due to the timing of our move we will nto be setting up a nursery in Florida. Instead I am stuck buying stuff and shoving it in a closet. ALthough I do take it out and show Stella. She knows that the baby clothes are for brother but she really has no clue that another member of the family is coming.

Kent has been busy completing the first phase of a personal project he began while he was deployed. He is so excited to have completed so much so far. He is looking forward to canoeing with Stella (we bought her a little life jacket) soon as the weather has gotten very nice in Florida. He is actually in Utah right now for a training. Stella continues to tell everyone that Daddy is at work in daddys car. It is very sweet. She will see his picture and say "I love you daddy." I am very thankful that Kent deployed when he did because I really think Stella would have a much harder time now. I guess it all works out in the end. Kent has been very busy at work training the next wave of AF social workers. It has been very time consuming but as you all guessed he has kicked some serious butt!!

Well I think that catches you all up. I am off to bed before Stella wakes up crying from her ears. Wish us luck on Wednesday, say a little prayer.

Much love to you all - Meghan
