There is so much to catch up on. Steve's family was here for the blessing, and we are grateful that they spent their Spring Break here. I wasn’t much for entertaining yet, and Steve had to work like normal, but the park was nice, the company was great, and I know that everyone loved the pool.
The following weekend, Steve packed a picnic, and we drove to a place called Cold Creek. It was more like a small lake. It was great for the dog to run and swim and the kids to splash in. I didn't pack extra clothes, so the kids rode home mostly naked. They thought that was funny. That was a fun afternoon. Thanks Steve.
My mom came for her Spring break this past week. It was so nice to have her. I had nothing shy of a mountain of laundry, and she caught that up. It was fun to be with her and no real agenda. Also she watched the boys while I ran a couple of errands during the day. One of those errands was a job interview on a Labor and Delivery unit. It was at the hospital that I delivered. The interview went well, and I am grateful that they offered me the job on Friday. Women having babies is job security. I am glad to be a nurse in this economic climate, because heaven knows that I have to work. I start May 11. We need the income, but the thought of it nauseates me. I hate leaving a baby. Plus I start orientation on days and it’s 4 10 hour shifts for the duration of orientation, then I will do nights. Orientation is 3 months…all summer. We are sooo grateful that 2 of my friends here have offered to watch the kids for the summer. My kids love them both, and I am so relieved that I will leave Trevor with them and not at a daycare as a newborn! What a huge blessing!
This week is Jenna’s Spring break. We are enjoying chillin at home and heading outside when the weather invites us. Play dates, playdough, movies, and a couple crafts/activities that I have planned should round it out. However, I got out a parenting book tonight because Zac is making me crazy!!!! On a bright note he is doing awesome using the potty! Yeah!!!!
Trevor is 5 weeks old now. I'd love to go on and on how wonderful it’s been to have him, but I will spare you of all the tender feelings. But know that he does smell wonderful, he is like in the top 3 cutest babies ever, and he is growing too fast. I know you are going to love this smile!

Congrats on the job, why do you have to do such a long orientation when you have already done it?
They said that orientation may be shortened as I progress. They deliver as early as 27 weeks and circulate their own c/s too. So that is good that I have time to feel comfortable!
Adorable pictures and fun videos. I think the pictures of Trevor smiling look a lot like Steve.
It sounds like you have been busy with family all the family. I hope you have gotten some rest.
Congrats on the job!
Congrats on the job! We had such a great time with you guys and hope we can get together again real soon. Your kids are beautiful and it was so fun to play with them all. Trevor is growing up so fast and he is so handsome! Cold creek looked fun...good idea! Love and miss you guys!
