Hello!

Gen. Grevius, princess, Captain Hook, Superman - just for fun costumes we got at the consignment sale at First Baptist Concord :)

Ryan won free tickets to the TN Valley Fair from the library for doing the summer reading program so we went for a few hrs last Sat.

In other news, Sean is going full-time Nov 1st!  And I'm cutting back hours from 24 a week to PRN - going to do 8-16 hr a week and still from home for TeamHealth as a telephone triage RN.  We are excited!

Few Words

Just a few things to say today!  Quickly though because Ryan is standing here coughing all over me and snorting and dripping mucus and talking my ear off and waiting to get on the computer BECAUSE he officially started kindergarten!!!  He is on Day 6 I think!!!  We are doing Abeka DVDs and we are also waiting for the workbook kits that go along with the DVDs.  He is doing very well so far and enjoying it.  He is doing it while the others nap, close to four hours a day! 


Ryan, Hunter, Andrew, and Hailey all have colds, but good news is Andrew went to have his ears rechecked yesterday and they look great!  The doc asked if we wanted to take him to an ENT doctor, but Sean said no.  We are hoping and praying that his ears stay good because there's been talk about getting tubes put in his ears.  Yikes!!!!!


Hailey has started her first solid....hard boiled egg yolk with sea salt.  She is doing very well with it!  She has not been sleeping as good as she usually does and so me and Sean have been a little tired, but thankful to have the little girl!  I guess we can sleep when we retire!!!!  lol


Finally, I have a new work schedule that will start in August that I'm excited about!  I will work 2 Saturdays a month (7a-7p shifts) and then the other two weeks I will work 3-11 on Fridays and Sundays 7a-7p.  That will mean only 6 shifts a month instead of 8 and less commuting and more time at home, especially since Ryan is in school now.  I had asked for it, but wasn't sure I was gonna actually get it! 


OK, time for Ryan to do school.  I will be happy when our lap top gets fixed because we are giving it to Ryan and then I can have this computer back!  :)

March 2014 Family Update

Since Hailey's birth we have been busy and relaxing all at the same time!


My MIL AKA Grammy came for a visit and stayed 9 days with us.  Even got to spend Hunter's birthday with us!  She was such a blessing and it was a joy to have her here and spend time with her! 


My Dad came in for a long weekend and just left a few hours ago.  We also loved having him here and are excited that we get to see him and more of my family in just a couple of short days when we fly down to Florida. 


My Mom has not gotten to meet Hailey yet, but we did get to see her and my Aunt Holli right before she was born! 


Our good friend Becca also came for a short visit to take pictures of Hailey.  She is amazing!


Sean is on Spring Break right now and it is sooooo nice to have him home! 


Our church was so sweet to bring us meals everyday for like a whole week!  We can't say enough how much that helped!!! 


Hailey is doing great!  She nurses well and sleeps well.  She gets a little bit of nighttime fussiness for about an hour or so, but no complaints!  She is precious! 


We took Hunter, Andrew, and Hailey in for well checkups last week and they are all healthy and doing well, Praise the Lord!  Hailey is over 9 pounds now! 


I started back to work last Sunday and worked 3 shorter shifts.  I cried the whole way there and once I got there that first shift back, but the other 2 shifts I did much better.  Hailey took to a bottle feeding perfectly, thank God!  Now, I am off for another 2 weeks.  :0)  Then I start back to 2 shifts week from 3-11.  I am so grateful to have the job I have!  It is such a blessing to our family!


And that leaves us with packing and getting ready for our FL vacay!


Bye for now!!!!!!!
