A Happier Note

I'm feeling a lot better since my last post. It'll always be hard to see others with more, but I have to remind myself that they are Earthly possessions and they won't be around forever.

I'm also a bit excited about a possible job opportunity for myself. There isn't a position open right now, but I'm putting in an application at the YMCA to work in their child care center. It would be a very part time position. Only a couple of hours a day, and I wouldn't have to sacrifice any time with Daniel because I could bring him with me for free! It would put a little extra money in our pockets each month to give us a little more breathing room and it would give me a free membership to the Y! A membership means that I could start swimming again. Oh, how I have missed swimming.
Daniel and I went yesterday so I could get an application and as soon as I walked in I was hit with the humidity and the smell of chlorine. Brings back memories. Anyway, if you're the praying type, please pray this job might become available soon!

Life is just flying by as quickly as ever. Daniel continues to learn and grow. It amazes me how quickly he gets around. He is EXTREMELY determined, which can be a good and bad thing. He doesn't give up, that's for sure. He's crawling on all 4's a lot more frequently now, but switches to his trusty army crawl if he wants to get somewhere really fast. He's learned to throw tantrums, in which he throws his whole body backward and slams into the ground, and then proceeds to scream because he's mad and he hit his head. Hopefully he learns soon that it's not going to get him anywhere.

Last night we went to the middle school open house just to hang out. We hung out in the band and choir room for awhile and then Daniel I ventured down to see the secretary and a few of the other teachers. He tore around the library like the Tasmanian Devil and entertained everyone. On Friday we're going to go to the football game!

Next weekend starts my busy travel week! Daniel and I are going to Iowa next Friday and coming home Monday? I had planned on Sunday, but the fam want to go to Bloomsbury Farm on Sunday and so I'm leaning closer to staying, because I LOVE that place!

Then we'll have a couple days home and then it's off to visit the Rot's! I'm so excited to get to spend time with Heidi and Zach! Then on Saturday our mom's are coming  for the evening! Yay for fun times! Boo, for long drives! But, Yay for a good boy who loves to travel and will probably be very good for his mama!

A few pics to end the post, just so I can show off my kiddo again. :)

On Sunday we had a balloon launch at church. Daniel loved the balloon!



How stinking cute is he?



My little Hawkeye!

  1. That would be ideal to get that job! Let me know when to start praying for it. Oh what a delight it was to see these pictures again. :)
