Latest updates from the Borland Household.
1. It's a boy! Yes our newest addition will be a male. No we have not decided on any names yet other than ruling out Zachary. (We have both taught too many Zachs that drove us nuts.) Everything seems to be just fine with the baby and mom. Dad evidently has already begun gaining weight...
2. Zeke is motoring on towards becoming a year old. He's just shy of 10 months and weighs right at 22 pounds. New pics will be posted on the family website (www.theborlands.net) sometime this weekend. He is the master of the commando crawl (on the belly, not sans diaper...) and is pulling himself up on anything close enough (and stable enough) to grab. He wants to walk, but has the balance of a drunk on a ship.
3. I have a two week break from grad school before summer session starts. I did manage to pull an A in my leadership class this past semester. Whoo-hoo! Afraid that the 4.0 is in serious danger with the class load I will be attempting this summer.
4. Jill is studying in earnest for her LPC test. She is planning to take it in mid June. She's not a test taker and as such is EXTREMELY stressed about this test. Please keep her on your prayer lists.
5. Just two weeks of school left to complete my first year as an assistant principal. Woof. The learning curve has been unbelievably steep but I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel (and for the first time this year, I don't think it's a freight train coming the other way...).
6. My campus has kicked off it's Academically Unacceptable label! We are classified as Academically Acceptable for the coming year and with just minor adjustments and another year of hard work like this one, we should be able to move on to Recognized.
7. My swing is just horrible. Got to play in a charity tournament and had a blast, but played like hammered poo. (I did get the day off work though. A bad day golfing will always beat a good day at the office...) I'm hoping to get on the links a bit more this summer, but with Zeke and school...well, I guess we'll just have to see.
Will be posting some other items as I have a bit more time to think and write. Hope all is well and talk to you soon.
Chris

You guys have a beautiful family! I love the new pics! So, are you two ready to move to a farm and let him do what it looks like he may be destined to? He looks like a natural on that saddle.
Thanks Mama Brooks. We aren't moving to the country yet,but we can see cattle (and a few Llamas from our back deck. I think I'd rather have him with a helmet and a dirt bike than a saddle and a shetland....
