10 months

Hi there! Today I'm 10 months old. I've done a lot of growing up since last month. For starters, I'm crawling all over the place. I love to explore! I have the most fun pulling myself up so I can stand. Crawling towards Chloe and Fuzzball is lots of fun too. They don't know what to make of me being mobile.

I'm eating more and more people food. I seem to love everything, except cottage cheese. It just feels funny in my mouth. Yesterday, I even tried cat food. Ya know, it wasn't half bad. :)
I've pretty much mastered drinking out of a sippy cup. I just forget sometimes that I have to tip it up as I'm drinking, otherwise I just suck air.

I love playing with my friends at school. I learned a valuable lesson too. Don't put your fingers in someone elses mouth because you might get bit.

When the weathers nice, I like to play outside. See me in my sprinkler pool!

summer fencing

Rodrigo and I joined Fencing Star Academy! This fencing club is super fun because it fences with all three weapons: epee, foil, and sabre. Our coach Oswaldo was the olympic coach for the Venezulan team before coming to America and his son is the 8th best foilest in the world! We are learning so much! I am continuing to do epee but Rodrigo has recently switched over to foil, but he will still practice epee at school. It is so much fun and such a great work out!

father's day

See what Evelyn learned for her Daddy on Father's Day!!!

Happy Father's to my Dad and all the other Beyer brothers! My dad and I just returned from our most recent trip to Houston. This was another successful trip, I had several interviews with many principals for my placement in the fall and had three "unofficial" offers and will know this Friday where I will be teaching come August.

After looking at several apartment complexes, I found a very nice one-bedroom apartment which is also home to several EIU alums that teach in the district, which I am excited about.

The highlight of the trip had have been yesterday when Dad and I were able to drive to the Galveston area and eat an amazing shrimp lunch/dinner right on the Gulf, probably some of the best shrimp I've ever had!

Well after flying from the Gulf to the Great Lakes I'm off to work another great week at Cedar Point. Hope everything is going great!

Here and gone...

Dave and I were off last week. And how time flew by...why doesn't time pass as quickly when you're working???

We did light jobs around the house getting it ready for renting. Both our cars got their oil changed. Dave and Steve did work on Dave's car(something with the supercharger). We went house hunting, but have yet to find "the one". We visited with Grandma and Grandpa Wood and Great Gram. We took Evelyn to the Olive Garden. She was an angel playing contently. We went to the Morton Arboretum in Lisle on Friday. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed ourselves. There is a nice children's museum and a pretty cool maze garden. Above are some pics of our adventure.

Summer Update

Hello All! Just a little update . . .

I have successfully returned to Cedar Point for another summer before moving to Houston in August. My buddy from college, Aaron, and I have a room in Cedars which was orginaly the first hotel at Cedar Point, so it has been interesting living in a building that is over 100+ years old.

I am back working in the park operations office were do several different tasks, and just this morning I was told I was an applauding individual because I removed cardboard from a child's shoes that made the child taller to ride some of our roller coasters, man what parents do to please their children.

Tomorrow I will be picking up some hours on Top Thrill Dragster, which is our 420ft roller coaster and launches riders 120 mph in under one minute, needless to say its pretty intense.

Well that's all for now. I'll be taking some pictures later this week and I'll post a few of them. Dad and I will be traveling down to Houston on Wednesday of this week were I will be meeting principals and being assigned my teaching location for the next school year.

Hope all is well!

College Reunion

Kaye & I will be attending another Lea College reunion in mid July this year. They seem to have them about every three years. This one should be fun because my old friend Phil Moore is going to be there this time. We have already made our reservations for the reunion and the motel.
We plan on leaving on Thursday after work and getting as far as the Wisconsin Dells. Staying there that night and arriving in Albert Lea the next afternoon.
