Hurricanes, Babies, and PA!!! Oh MY...

Hey
For my avid blog readers I really do apologize that I have not updated in so long!!! Things have been quite busy with the Alexander family. Let's start with Hurricane Gustova Came though Memphis bringing my dad, cindy, suzanne, jeff, callie, john, alli, cada, 3 extra dogs, 1 cat, + the group that stayed down the street. It was fun to see everyone, a little exhausting but FUN. Suzanne announced she was pregnant again!! And the same weekend we found out Little Paul and Ana are expecting as well. And Dad and Cindy got engaged...WOW
2nd Hurricane IKE... we have the trip all planned to go to Mexico, we are all packed, and spray tanned and all when Huston gets ROCKED by IKE and we can't fly into Huston to go to Cozumel... so, we got on orbitz and booked a trip to Cancun.... and dad and cindy went with us. We got do some diving and beckham got to play in the sand... I will post some pictures!!!
While we where in Cancun LP tracked us down and said that PA was interested in offering Kyle a position "Water Management Supervisor".... more on that later
So we had a great trip...

Then the next week I left my boys to go to Charleston for a work conference (it was really great conference on dietitans putting down feeding tubes) Anyway Beckham gave "Dadee" a run for his money! He got sick and had fever and poo poos! Poor baby... so mom rushed home to help :)

So the past few weeks we have been dealing with some sickness but he is much improved today! Poo Poos, ear infection, snotty nose, etc. He is talking and running... and repeating words like crazy!

So for any of you that read this your ears may have perked up when I wrote about PA... well I know we have been talking about it for a long time but I think the time has come and the Alexander Kids are heading NORTH! (for those that do read and know about my job at St. Jude please do not say anything to anyone yet... there are a lot of details that still need to be worked out--- House being SOLD, and I don't want to get all the crazy RD's worked up around here). Kyle signed the JOB offer on Monday and took a drug test. It sounds as if he will be moving up there at the end of the month. Next week we are having the Realtor (kyle's aunt Jakie) put the house on the market !!! ??? *(&^*%&
Beckham and I will stay here and sell the house, they are going to pay for Kyle to come home to visit on the weekends, pay for me to go up twice for house hunting trips, and for at least 6 months of temporary housing in PA. It looks like we will live somewhere in Central PA near Penn State... or close to where I find a job. So I will let you all know more when I do!

Another very exciting news is I am going to be a AUNT!!! And Beckham will have a cousin! Kelly and Matt are expecting and due in June! Yea for them... we are going to name the baby IKE!

OK-- that's about it for now. Love to all! Katy
