I know it's been a long while since I posted and we have had so many family changes I don't even know where to start!
First, my job was cut from full-time (40 hours) to half-time (20 hours). While it may sound like I now have a ton of extra time on my hands...I don't. I'm busy looking for a full-time job and/or working to make our ends meet. We should be okay but I have a tendency to stress about money more than I should. We've made less than this before, had more debt and were fine. However, I have been able to claim a partial unemployment check and sell quite a few items on Ebay - who knew it was so easy?
Receiving his Arrow of Light before crossing over
In February, Liam crossed over to boy scouts and has been camping several weekends since. It's an entirely boy-run program so it's a big change for us. We are not allowed to tell them to do anything, they have to figure it out on their own. Hopefully it will help make him a more responsible person overall. He's really enjoying it too. Last week was his first band concert (he plays the trumpet) and the entire group sounded surprisingly well. Also last week, he had his "Math is Cool" competition and his school team took first place! My favorite part of all this is that these are activities he asked us to do! We never told him to do any of these, he wanted to do them. It makes me so proud.
First Place Team!
Miss Pippa has recently started walking, sort of. She takes a few steps here and there. With the camera on they are tentative but when nobody's looking, she walks from place to place with ease, it's pretty funny. She also finally broke through tooth #8! Now she's an even four on top and four on bottom.
Next up for us? We are just plugging away right now. Dan is working some mandatory overtime at work right now (60 hours last week). He will be on active duty for a while starting April 9th. Pippa will be ONE year old here in just a few weeks. She still feels like a little baby to me so it's hard to imagine. Not sure what our plans are for her party yet but we want to keep it small.
The weather was beautiful yesterday and we spent some time outside.
