Graduated, Employed and 30

Spencer's been busy. He graduated at the end of December (will walk and we'll celebrate in the Spring) in biomedical engineering. It's been tough finding a job in this market but we just got an offer last week. He will be working for Numira biosciences doing medical imaging. The company is literally a mile from our house and it's the perfect job for us right now. We'll stay in our little apartment for awhile to save some money and then see where life takes us. We feel very lucky. And he turns the big 3-0 on Monday (the 26th)! So he's just barely making his goals (to graduate and get a job before he turned 30). Good job dad!

So many fun new posts, Erin. I am so happy that Spencer found a job, and that it is close by. It sounds like it will be absolutely perfect for your family. What a huge relief -- I would not like to go back to that time after Sam was done with school and we were looking for a job. So stressful.
All the new pictures of the boys are so cute -- I'm sure they will be great friends. They are both so cute. It looks like all is going well with Ben's legs. So many tender mercies for your family -- you deserve it!

My 4 week old son was born with club feet too. I did a search on club feet and found your blog. Looks like we are going to the same hospital. It is fun to read your experiences as a mom because I feel the same way. We just did our 3rd cast today. I feel so lucky to live so close a great hospital and the care we receive there is out of this world. Also, I noticed we both know Jeff and Judy. We went to school with them. It is a small world. Congrats to your husband on graduation. What an accomplishment. Thanks for sharing about your son's club feet. :) Did you pay for the shoes and the bar? If so how much were they? www.attackofthemouse.blogspot.com

i was just showing your blog to luke and noticed that your baby has club feet- luke's sister betsy's little girl was born with club feet also and went through all the same stuff. she turns 2 in march and has been walking for a year now and all is well with her feet. good luck with that, it is a long road but it will be worth it!
