Transitions

 

 

So Jonathan started at the Sunset Elementary  pre-school upon turning three years old. He has really loved being at the Kindering Center for the last year and also at the Lakeside Center for Autism; but he has taken on a whole new love for school and even being able to ride the school bus.

The first week was an emotional transition for us (for me especially). We all got through it and now he asks to go to pre-school every day. Transitions are hard, but needful. They cause you to grow and I can tell you the Lord is in all things, especially the transitions! On one of the days where I was feeling particularly scared/nervous/worried/anxious for Jonny I saw this quote(see below). God is so very mindful of our situations!

Hot Dog, it's your Birthday!

 These are the Mouse-keteers. . . Jonny, Sydney, Ryan, Gabe, Austin and Bennett.

Jonathan turned three this past week and we celebrated by having a Mickey MouseClub House themed party. Party included. . . . toilet paper bowling, coloring contest, hot dogs and cheetos for lunch, Mickey Mouse cookies, gift opening and smashing the homemade Mickey Mouse Pinata!

Everyone seemed to have a blast and it was so fun being able to celebrate Jonathan!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY JONNY

6 years strong. . .

Happy Anniversary to us!

Traditionally for our anniversary we like to go see a Broadway play (Camelot, Lion King, Phantom, etc.) but this year we needed to be more financially savvy. So luckily for us we saw Les Miserable (in the theatres)

Dinner and a movie! Casual and perfect!Yet still sticking with our tradition (somewhat!)

A fun fact. . . 

Brad and I have been married for 6 years but known each other for 13.

29th Birthday!

The friday before my birthday I went out to dinner with three of my good girlfriends and had some cake and girl time away from kids! It was awesome!!! Other then this though my birthday was a bust!

I came home on Friday night to an inconsolable 19 month old with croup and RSV and spent the wee hours of the early morning with him in the ER because he was having such difficulty breathing.

So naturally on Saturday Brad and I had a sitter lined up so we could go out and celebrate my special day but didn't feel good leaving our little one. So Saturday was a *blah* type of day.

Sunday rolls around, my actual birthday and Brad was flying out to Florida to spend a week there for training. I was totally prepped to spend the week by myself and the kids and had plenty of crafts that I was excited to do. Until I got hit with the flu on Sunday morning and was so weak that I had to call my aunt and she came and took one look at me and I ended up in the ER because of dehydration.

Don't you worry, Jonny caught the Croup and RSV from David and so all of us stayed home all week and hunkered down.

What I can tell you is I can think of nothing worse then being a single mother. Whether voluntary or involuntary, it sucks. The only saving grace of the week was that my girlfriend from college came into town for a visit and so she was a good help.

Sorry no pictures but Happy 29th Birthday to me!

I think I am officially moving my birthday to a different time of year. January is terrible!
