A Todd Update :)

So here is Todd, not on most days but on a photo shoot day. I couldn't find a good up to date photo so I went with this one. He has photos taken here and there for his press packets and stuff. 

Todd has been very busy this semester. Teaching, performing, applying for jobs, and taking care of the boys. He is coming up on tenure next year. It has been a long journey and we aren't sure exactly how we are feeling about it. There is no doubt we want for him to get tenure. However, it does mark a milestone of sorts and causes reflection. Since I was applying for jobs and the possibility of change and a move was an option, Todd decided to explore his options as well. In the end, God made it clear that we would be staying here. No major changes for this family and we are both content with this outcome. 

Todd was granted sabbatical this summer and will be working on a book. It is not a Barnes and Noble cuddle up with a cup of coffee type of book but rather a book written for a target audience that has the need for more cow bell... heehee. It is a new endeavor for him and I hope to be as supportive as possible. I am looking forward to posting his final product. 

Right now Todd is judging the state percussion ensemble contest. He does it every year. When he gets back he will be on major Daddy duty. I have a bit of work to finish up before next week and I am totally dependent on him to watch the boys. He has been doing A LOT of Daddy duty lately and I am extremely appreciative of all that he does. (i.e. cooking, cleaning, getting up with children in the a.m., packing their lunches, picking them up) He is quite the SuperDad these days. :) I think it is safe to say that he is looking forward to me being done with school too.
