Now that I know people do read this I'll post some more pics. This is Eli playing with a train my mom got him for Christmas. Now that he can sit up for a while we got it out. (he loves it so much he's drooling over it! ) The next one is him watching veggie tales while I get ready to go to the gym. We're just having a great day. Hope y'all enjoy these precious pictures.

Happy St Patrick's Day

Once again I apologize for not writing, but I don't know if anyone besides Aimee reads this anyway! Does anyone know what we're celebrating on St Patrick's Day? I dressed Elijah up and took pictures to send everyone, then thought, maybe I should know what we're celebrating. Anyway, he is too cute. He is changing everyday, I feel sorry for those of you who don't see him everyday! :) I miss him even when he's sleeping, I want to go wake him up and cuddle him, but I then I remember the hour it took me to get him asleep and I decide to leave him alone. Another side note, if you leave a comment will you please sign it. Someone keeps leaving messages and I have no idea who they came from. Anyway, I'm leaving you with these pictures, I label the second one "why am I sitting in a flower pot, mom?" My job is great, Beau is great, we are doing just fine.

Cool dude

Sorry its been so long. I started my new job last week and had orientation 8-5 everyday. There is a reason I became a nurse, I don't like working all day every day! It was really hard finding babysitters every day. He stayed with a different lady from church everyday. Anyway, we're just sitting at home. I'm making stew b/c its actually cold in Houston (actually, its not really cold compared to Abilene, but people down here call it cold). Hope you love the pics of our cool dude in his new shades.

Funny story

For anyone who happens to read this: sorry it's been so long. Anyway, funny story...I had to go to the hospital in Clearlake (my new job) on Friday to do my processing (pee in a cup, fill out paperwork, etc.). Well, a few years ago I had a reaction to a TB ppd test so from now on I have to have chest x-rays. So they sent me for the x-ray. I had to get undressed from the waist up and put on a hospital gown. I started to get undressed and removed my undergarment and I guess since it was noon and I'm taking my bra off my body thinks it must be time to feed Eli so the flood gates open. I don't know what to do so I grab some kleenex and hold pressure. The tech walks in to find my standing there with my hands under my gown holding my boobs! Luckily it was a woman. I said, "I'm leaking" and she laughed and said, "don't worry, I'm breastfeeding too." When I finally got done with the x-ray and could get dressed the front of my gown was all wet. What a day!

My new job!

Hopefully no one that I work with is reading this, if they are: I'll explain later. I went on an interview today and actually got offered my choice between two different positions. I'm very excited. My commute will be about half as long as usual and I'm getting paid more! Anyway, its very exciting. It will be in Cardio-Vascular Recovery. I'm very interested in learning so much more.

We're on Vacation

We left Alvin Tuesday afternoon and after 4 hours on the road (b/c of rain and traffic) we finally got to Rosebud. We spent the night there and then got up to come to Stephenville. We're finally here with Jon,Katy, and Brooklyn!!! I don't have my camera cord for the computer, so you'll have to wait to see pictures. We're having a great time, I just got and massage and what could be better?! Everyone here is sickly, though, we're working hard to keep Eli well. I don't know how often I will blog while we're hear, but lets face it: I don't know if anyone reads this and I don't blog that often anyway!

Was Santa worth all that?

Beau took me yesterday to try and finish some shopping. After doing some errands we had planned to go to the mall and have Elijah's picture with Santa. We got to the mall about 4:30 and Elijah was hungry so we sat in the car and fed him. After getting him dressed in his Christmas suit we made our way to Santa. We got to the line and the sign in front of us said "Santa is leaving to feed his reindeer, will return at 6pm" So we walked around the mall and got some gifts, got a snack at the food court since we would be home too late to cook dinner, and made our way back to Santa around 5:45pm to find a line. I was upset b/c by this time Elijah was sound asleep and I was paying too much for these pictures to have him sleep through them. Well, we waited in line for a while and right before it was time to take our picture I took his "sasser" and started rubbing his back-both sure-fire ways to wake him up (he hates massages!) So he was awake for the picture, but not happy enough to smile. Oh well, smiling on cue may have been a lot to ask of a 8 week old, but my child is really smart! :) We finally got home after driving through bad traffic and Elijah crying only to remember we left Beau's truck at the church. We turned around and drove back to the church. Uugghh!! When we finally got home we were exhausted and instead of the nice "Rachael Ray" dinner I was going to make Beau ate a sandwich on stale bread and I had oatmeal! So...everyone better say the Santa pictures are super cute when you see them!!
