Wow! I can't believe it has been since July since I last posted. I can't tell you how many times I sat down with the intention to blog and it just didn't happen. I am definitely feeling a writers block. I just don't know what to write about. I will be surprised if this posts makes it on my blog. :) Honestly, our lives are pretty uneventful these days. That is good and bad. I am so happy that my family is all happy and healthy. I love spending each day home with my two beautiful children. They are so much fun to be around and lately they can't stop giving me enough hugs and kisses. I absolutely love being a stay at home mom. It definitely took some getting used to and some days are better than others but overall I love watching my kids learn and grow. Aaron is really taking off on talking better and Kaylee is starting to pick it up a little. My favorite thing she says lately is "okay". If there is something she wants she will answer "okay."
Eric is hard at work. Starting in September he started as a full time employee instead of being an intern for the last 8 months. This is good in some ways and not good in other ways. The best part is that he is officially employed and in this economy I couldn't be more grateful that he has a job right out of school. The other great things about being employed is that he gets to start building up vacation and sick days. We also get health benefits through his job. The biggest down side is that Eric is now a salaried employee and doesn't get paid by the hour like he used too. Overtime was a huge help and now he is still working the late hours and he doesn't get paid for it. (Like tonight, it is 8:30pm and he still hasn't come home) I am hoping that when raises come next fall he will get a promotion. At least he loves what he is doing and that is most important to me.
As for me, I am trying to start up tutoring math after school. So far it isn't going very well. I have only one student so far and I haven't had a phone call in over two weeks. I gave out my business cards to the nearby high schools and haven't had much success. I just need to find some way to get the word out. I have really enjoyed tutoring again. It has been a long time since I last taught math and it is amazing how it quickly comes back to me. I have really missed it and I hope to get more students because I love to teach.
I have been horrible about taking pictures lately but here are a couple of cute ones I have. These kids always smile and say cheese whenever I pull out the camera. I have them trained.
Aaron is 3 and loving it. He loves Thomas the Train and Cars and he is constantly playing with his toys all day long. He loves to run around the living room with Kaylee and loves to make her laugh. He is such a sweet boy by always giving me hugs and kisses and telling me that I am wonderful. He is about 95% potty trained and I am so happy that most of that is behind us. He loves to sing and loves it when we sing to him at night. He knows all the words to about 6 hymns. I love this little guy.
Kaylee is almost 17 months old. She is walking, running, and loves to play ring around the roses with her brother. She eats like crazy. Always wanting something to eat or drink. She loves to wear her shoes and has them on all day. She feeds herself really well. She is a beautiful and happy girl and I love her so much.
