Summer Update

Hey everyone - we are smack dab in the middle of summer in Athens, and it is H-O-T! I wanted to give a quick update on things going on in the crazy lives of the Kirklands:

Fields - He is cruising around all of our furniture and putting everything possible in his mouth. His new trick to to show everyone how 'big' he is by raising his hands to the sky! We have been trying to teach him how to wave bye-bye and recognize us with the words he says constantly, 'momma' and 'dadda.'

Deborah - She is at the very end of her first trimester, and while the morning sickness (which actually lasts all the waking day) has subsided slightly, it still can rear its nasty little head at any moment. This go around has been MUCH more difficult than the first with sickness and fatigue. We are all hoping that this will go away, though, like it did around this time of the last pregnancy. Despite all of this, Deborah is still a glowing mother-to-be!

Clay - I am in the process of finishing the work for the class that I attended two weeks ago in Orlando, beginning the work for the online class that started this week (and will run through August), planning for intern training and the upcoming school year, and taking care of my sick wife and crazy (in a good way) son! My last final of my 5 year seminary career is AUGUST 28th! Hallelujah, the end is near!

So, that is us in three paragraphs...


till next blog,
