Two Years?

It has been TWO YEARS since I posted. Yikes! Lots has happened. I'll never fill you in on all of the in between. So here is where we are now:


Tim is three and a half, looking forward to his fourth birthday. He attends preschool two days a week and LOVES it. Sunday will be his first week as a Sunbeam out of Nursery.


We also have an AJ. He will be two in April, but thinks he is just as big as Tim. He is OBSESSED with anything to do with cars, busses, trains, planes, etc. Especially the Disney Cars movies, Lightning McQueen, and Francesco Bernoulli. 

My parents bought a new house about three miles away from their old house in Bellevue, NE. We are renting the house I grew up in. The boys love having Grandma, Grandpa, and Laura close by.



Jake is enjoying his new career as a science model! Just kidding. Jake has been working at Teledyne Cetac Technologies in Omaha, NE since March. He is a "customer support chemist". When labs order their equipment, he travels out to their site to install it and train their staff on how to use it. He gets to go see lots of new places. Although they keep seeming to send him to cold places this winter, like Canada, Michigan, and Seattle. He does get to go to Texas soon, though!


I have been working for Craig HomeCare since December 2012 when we arrived in Nebraska. I do pediatric private duty home care. Mostly night shifts for children who have tracheostomies and are on ventilators. I have fluctuated between full time and part time depending on our family's needs. Starting this month, I will actually be dropping to "on-call" and working just a few shifts each month in an effort to keep up on homework, housework, etc with Jake traveling so much. (OH yeah, I'm also in BYU-Idaho's online RN-BSN program).
Church is also keeping me busy. I am the Beehive Advisor, so I teach the 12 and 13 girls most Sundays. I was also just asked to come to Girl's Camp this summer as a Level Leader. I'm super excited about that. :-)

That's the quick and dirty version. Now, in no particular order, here are a bunch of pictures from the last 5 months or so.











We'll see if I can manage to make this a semi-regular thing. 
Another way to catch up on us a bit would be to check out the Family Home Evening blog I started as a project for a school class here: http://toddlerhomeevening.blogspot.com/
