8 months later...

I guess I kind of let this blog go...thought I'd post an update.

Dan got a job! He just started a new job about a month ago. I'm not sure that he loves it but it's a job, and at almost a year since loosing his job a job is a job! Right now we're trying to adjust to him working again.

I am working now too. I've been a stay at home mom since I was pregnant with Nicolas and in August I got hired on at the Health Department as their Peer Breastfeeding Counselor. It's a new program there so it's kind of a lot of work to get it up and going but so far I'm loving it. I also help a friend at her store a couple days a week and I'm still doing some photography. This working mom thing is hard!

Elijah is in 5th grade this year. He's having an awesome year! He played JFL football this past season and loved it....and he's awesome! This skinny kid is pretty tough out on the field. He's very excited to play again next season. We moved some rooms around and he has his own room now and he's lovin' that.

Nicolas is in 2nd grade this year. He's having a better year then last but still having an issue with taking school more seriously. He's so smart, but doesn't care so much for school...hoping he changes that soon. Nicolas played soccer over the summer. He did good, but half way through the game he'd ask to be goalie so he wouldn't have to run so much LOL. He also wants to play football like his big brother, but he'd be playing flag football at his age. We'll see.

Joshua started Kindergarten this year. He loves it! And his teacher loves him...seems that he's a very good student (never had one of these before lol). Josh also played soccer over the summer and did great. Josh is a go getter and a people pleaser...both of these qualities makes for a pretty good kid. :)

Zachary started preschool this year. He loves it so far. He has some friends now that he talks about too. Zack will be 4 in a couple months, and he's starting to act like a big kid, which is kind of killing me. It's so weird how fast these kids grow! Zack also became a big brother this year and he LOVES his baby brother. He does every and anything for him.

Benjamin was born April 29th weighing in at 7 lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long. He's now 6 months old and is 20 lbs and 27 inches. My oh my has he grown! I could not imagine our lives without our little Benjamin, he definitly completes our family. Benjamin just started eating baby food. So far we've done rice cereal, homemade butternut squash, apples and now oatmeal. His favorite is apples so far! He is almost a sitter, he's rolling both ways now and loves to eat his feet!

I will try to figure out how to do updates from my phone, that way I'll update more often. :)
