Back to Work

-
Well I am back to work now. I started last Tuesday. It was a long day but I never got anxious thanks to our precious Lord. Thank you everyone for your prayers, calls, and comments on Facebook. The only time I cried was on Monday and that was just once. My schedule goes like this: wake up at 5:30 am, take a quick shower and get ready, wake up Kaitlyn and nurse her at 6:00 am, then pump, then play with her for about ten minutes, then get my lunch and Addison and I's breakfast made, get all of my breastmilk pump bottles ready for the day, get Addison up around 7:00 - 7:15am and feed her, eat my breakfast, play with her for about 10 minutes, get the diaper bag ready to go, get Kaitlyn in her carseat, grab everything and get in the car by 7:40 am to take the girls to the Simpson's in Etowah in hopes to get to work by 8:25 am.. It wasn't too bad last week but I didn't have to take the girls to Simpson's but two times last week. This week I will take them everyday and I don't get off till 6:00 pm. Josh had the girls two full days and he did spectacular with them. I was a little nervous because he had not been with them that long alone but he said he had everything timed out and it went well. He even got clothes folded and dishes washed. He was off last week in order to go hunting but the weather wasn't great so he didn't go a few days. I was able to work out 3 times last week which I thought was pretty good. This week my goal is three times also but with getting off at 6pm that is going to make it a little tougher. Our plan is to make a lot of meals today (Sunday) so we don't have to spend time thinking about and making supper in the evenings. Kaitlyn is doing well on the bottle for everyone except for me but as long as she does fine for Josh, Linda and Frank I am happy with that. Josh's mom did say that she thought Addison missed me some last week. I truly missed them but I wasn't miserable at work. I had a lot of continuing education online classes to get done last week so that took all of my down time at work and made the days go by fast. I don't really have any new pictures to post this time.

OK I'm completely exhausted just reading this ... my goodness girl. Great job supermom, not sure I could handle that kind of schedule every day Mon through Fri. (that's why I would leave the workout part off of it ... he he he).

I am true believer that we underestimate our husbands so many times, I've caught myself thinking "I don't know if Matt can handle this or that" and he always does and does more than I expected, he always tells me all I need to do is ask.

Hope things continue to go smooth.

Questions - what time do you go to bed? what time do you go to workout?

Love ya!

Amazing! And you are still finding the time to blog! I'll continue praying for a peace while you are at work. I think I could also use a little of your time management skills!

Weston is 2 Years’s old & Hurricane Helene

Weston started preschool for the first time in August. We were nervous about him biting other children as he bites an often. He will bite our shoulders when things do lot go his way. He enjoys going to nursery at church and childcare at the YMCA so we were hopeful he would enjoy it. So far he has done great! I did get a notice from the school that he had been bit by another child. I had to read it twice to make sure I read it right but I did. Weston is very outgoing and likes interacting with the people he is around.   Weston still doesn’t use many words but it is increasing at a slow rate.  He can say Mama, Dada, Go, Bubble, Ball, Hello, Up, Hi, and Out.  We have started him in speech therapy.  Weston is starting to be more of a daddy’s boy. He has asked him to rock him to sleep a few times. He loves to be outside especially anytime daddy is outside. We have to make sure the front door has a safety lock on it or he will just walk out the front door when no one is pa...

Boy How Time Flies!

Well I can't believe Addison is 17 months old and Kaitlyn is a few days away from being 2 months old! We are all doing well. Addison is saying more and more words. She pretty much tries to repeat most of the words we say. Josh just keeps saying "She is so much fun". Addison is becoming more of a daddy's girl since I am always nursing Kaitlyn or picking up the house. She says "Dada" much more than "Mama." She now calls my father Papa and my mom Mimi. My father came up this weekend and if any of you know my father, of course, he bought us doughnuts. And Addison definitely knows the word doughnuts due to my dad. I am having to look for winter clothes for Addison so I am on the hunt for cheap winter outfits for her. Clothes are so expensive! Kaitlyn is growing out of all of her newborn size clothes but I keep putting them on her because I know she will never wear these cute outfits ever again. She has started cooing and she smiles a lot. She is sleepin...

1 Year Old Birthday Party

I can't believe Addison is a year old today!! She had a wonderful turnout at her birthday party this past Saturday. I believe there were over 35 people total that came! She got many clothes, toys and socks. We are so thankful for all of her gifts. Tonight Josh and I took her to Cracker Barrell so she could have a pancake on her actual birthday. We sang "Happy Birthday" to her many times today and each time she smiled really big at us while we sang to her. Isn't this sweet! Addison with her aunt Kim. This is 4 generations and Addison was reaching for her aunt Kim. Here she wasn't being shy anymore. This was her personal cake and she wasn't sure if she could touch it. She petted it for a while and finally she ate some after I started feeding it to her. Addison and her very loved uncle Jeff. Notice how content she is in his arms. She also loved the train her uncle Jeff got her. She loved her chair she got from her aunt Nancy. Addison and her great grandm...
