Climbing Fun!


We dug this slide out of the basement on Saturday for Connor to play on. I think he enjoyed it, even though he doesn't look all that happy in the middle picture. :) He loves to climb on things in the house, so I thought this would be something fun he could play on outside. I know Matthew enjoyed it when he was little.

16 Months Old




Can you believe this adorable little guy is 16 months old already? I can't, even though he is getting into EVERYTHING! He is a very curious little boy. I love him so much, and I can no longer imagine life without him.

Shoveling




Matthew tried to shovel the remaining snow off the curb last Tuesday. It looks like Matthew is even ready for spring! The bottom picture is kind of comical, with his toy lawnmower being nearby.

A Couple More Spring Photos






Here are a couple more spring photos from this week. Let this be fair warning - you're probably going to be seeing a lot more posts from me while I'm unemployed. After all, blogging is something fun I can do that doesn't cost anything!

I cleaned out the inside of my car yesterday while Connor was napping. I've needed to do that for a long time! I've vacuumed it here & there, but I hadn't wiped it down for quite some time. It's a good thing to have crossed off my "to do" list!

A Day At Grandpa & Grandma's




We went over to my parent's house on Sunday for a visit. The day really didn't go according to plan, but it all worked out in the end. We were supposed to meet at the church for their ham dinner, and then go to Mom & Dad's afterwards. Well, poor Connor got sick in the car on the way there. We were closer to our destination than we were to home when he got sick, so we just kept on driving. I called Mom to let her know that we would meet them at the house instead. We got Connor cleaned up the best we could, and we threw his clothes in the wash. Mom, Dad and Mark went to the church to get the meals "to go." Connor was feeling better by the time the food arrived, so we think it is something he ate. I was having some stomach issues of my own, although I think that was more nerves than anything, with my interview being the next day.

Speaking of the interview, I was informed yesterday that the position has been put on hold, so I don't know what's going to happen there - it's not looking very promising at this point. I am back to my online job search, and I've submitted my resume to a couple of different companies. I've also gotten back in touch with some of the agencies I had talked to last summer. Hopefully something will pan out. In the meantime, I will try and enjoy the extra time I have with my boys. :)

A Boy & His Dog


Matthew & Ginger are great pals. They spend a lot of time together in the backyard. They either chase each other around or just kick back and relax, like they're doing in this picture.

Sidewalk Chalk


Matthew loves to write & draw with sidewalk chalk. Our backyard patio is his canvas. He enjoys writing words, especially his name, and drawing handicapped parking spots, or "owie spots" as he calls them.
