Happy Spring!

Spring has finally arrived, and the snow has begun to melt! Swim lessons are finally over, and last week baseball season has begun! Jake is playing on a minor league team, and Emily has started T-ball. Josh is staying busy with 4-H and taking care of his flock of chickens.

Changes....

This past week was full of big changes. I decided Emily has finally outgrown the cradle, so we packed that up and moved her into her big girl crib. It is so nice to have space in our room again! We also decided to give big girl food a try. On Friday she had some oatmeal, and loved it. Brian couldn't get it in fast enough, so she tried to take the spoon from him, and then promptly screamed when the bowl was empty. This morning we tried some yummy pears with the same reaction. I think it is safe to say she was definetly ready.
Tomorrow morning we take emily back to the pediatrician again. This will be the 3rd trip in a little over a week. She is still hanging onto this nasty cough and wheezing, although the wheezing is starting to sound a little bit better. Hopefully our pediatrician will have some good news for us, and she will finally be in the clear, although that isn't fun news for her because then she will get her four month shots.
Over the past few weeks I have been struggling putting 100% into my job. My heart just isn't into it, and the people I work with (not all of them) and I just don't click. So after lots and lots and lots of deliberating and talking it over with brian, I have decided working, and trying to juggle a family is just not for me. This past week was especially rough, as I had worked 16 hour days. I felt extremely guilty having the boys watch tv all day so I could work- and that just isn't right, when i'm home I should be home and be able to enjoy my family not deal with the constant stress of work. So in two weeks, I will be a full time stay at home mom. I am ready, I think my kids are ready. It is going to mean that we are going to have to make some sacrafices, but I think in the long run it will be worth it. One of my good friends said to me- when im on my death bed will I say man I should of kept that crummy job, or I wish I would of spent more time with my kids. That pretty much sealed the deal for me. I'm ready for this new chapter to begin, wish us luck!



I'm ready bring on the good stuff!

Emily is getting to be such a big girl!!! Tegan will be 4 months old on Thursday and I am seriously thinking about trying some baby cereal with her. She doesn't seem content with formula anymore. Our girls are getting soo big!!! You will LOVE being a stay at home mommy!!! It is the best job in the world!!! Of course at times it would be nice to have a bit more money but spending time with your children is priceless!!!
