blessing in disguise

Well our lives have taken yet another unexpected turn. greg has been layed off from his job in tropic. i won't go into much detail so i guess if you want all the juicy tidbits then you will have to email me. :) but more and more lately we have felt that tropic jsut wasn't the place for us and had contemplated looking for another job. but gregs boss just beat us too it! we will be moving to koosharem next week. it may be a temprary move or it could be perminant. just depending on where greg can get a job.

although it is not the best time and it was a hair unexpected, we are relieved and are starting to see the blessing in the trial. when one door closes another one opens, right! either way we think that this will be a great thing for our family. we have some amazing friends and family who have been very supportive and we are very grateful!

so if any of you hear of something in the social work/counceling field let us know! :)

go look for binkie!

we FINALLY did it!!!!! the binkie is no more! so it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be but at the same time it is! it has been about a week now and jaxon still asks for it when he goes to bed. i have to remind him that binkie is all gone. he is content with that answer for a min and then he wants to go look for it! when i tell him that it is all gone, no more binkie he starts to cry. it is the most pathetic thing you have ever heard! it does make my heart break just a little because i know he loves his binkie so much! he cries for mom and then eventually will fall asleep. that part wasn't too bad, i could deal with it because i knew it was the best thing for him.

the part i didn't anticipate was that he wouldn't sleep! his 2-3 hour naps have gone to (if i am lucky) 1 hour! he goes to bed later and wakes up 1-2 hours earlier. i know you all feel so sorry for me, however! this kid NEEDS more sleep! he is tired all day and is much more whinny then normal. it is apparent that he needs more sleep! so needless to say this makes not only jaxon tired but mom and dad as well!

but the binkie is gone.....

6 weeks and counting!

only 6 weeks left! i am deffinatly counting down the days. we have our c-section scheduled for june 18th which is my due date. so as long as this little nameless girl doesn't come early, that will be the day!

i am getting big, but i guess that kinda comes with the territory. i waddle quit a bit as well. you really should see me trying to chase jaxon down! he knows he is faster then me and laughs at my sorry attempt!

greg is working non-stop. the tourist season is in full swing! we just keep saying to our selves "winters off, winters off, winters off......" and i do alot of breathing exercises! it helps having a therapist in the house to help you deal with your anxiety! jaxon loves to "go work hard" with dad.

we have really enjoyed the warmer weather. we are outside quit a bit, which is good to get the "2 yr old wiggles" out but not so good for the house cleaning!
