Up-Date

This is from a neighborhood by my condo

Hello I thought I would give everyone an up-date on the baby and myself.

** First off we were only affected a little bit by the fires in Yorba Linda. Jeff and I evacuated our home as the fire was less then a mile away and at that time you can't help but realize what is truly important that you need to bring with you. Thank God that there was no damage to our place or any one around us.

** Breann is doing OK, she gets a cough here and there but it doesn't last long. She is starting to hitch as well and soon will be crawling.

** Thanksgiving is coming and so is my birthday I love it when it lands on turkey day and then afterwards we go camping. Good times.

** I had to have some blood work done because I was going through some serious problems with sleeping all the time, feeling tired, loosing a lot of hair and some other things. Come to find out I have a thyroid problem that is hereditary in my family and it didn't start affecting me until I had the baby. All is well now I am on some medication that will help regulate it.

Vote!

I am taking a moment to express the thought that it is election day and even though this should be the biggest turn out of voters in history. I telling you to make sure and vote today. Who and what you vote for is your business just make sure you go and vote. That is all, enjoy your day.

Six Months

Breann is a little over six months and I can't believe how much she has grown in that time. I was looking back at video when we were in the hospital and seeing her now I am just amazed. She talks to us in her own little language and rolls over like no bodies business. She eats her mushy food and has yet to throw it back in my face. She can almost sit up on her own and the crawling is just around the corner for her. I know I am a mom that envies her child but every new mom has a right and I am taking full advantage of it I love it.

Now a word from our Sponsor

Back To School Night

So yesterday I went to Back to School Night at Breann's preschool. This was very fun for me because I got to go as a parent but also talk with the teacher on a more one-on-one bases. For a little while I was the only one from the infant room who showed up. Later by the time I was leaving other parents came and we talked for a little bit but I found out that those parent were only going to have their little ones there for one more week. They were moving. I found out that the school was being criticize for not having computer and high tech gadgets for the little ones to play with. Their thought, which I agree with, is that the children should have minimal time with the TV and computer. It is notice that there is a large speech problems because children are watching more things on TV and the computer and not their own parents. Anyways . . . I enjoyed what I saw at the school and I know that Bree is in good hands when I leave her there for the day.

Breann is eating solids

So this past week Jeff and I started feeding Breann some solid food. She loves her oatmeal but is not to excited on the green beans right now. She loves to grab the spoon and force it into her mouth. Well that was until I started to give her the green beans. It is a fun time for the both of us and she loves it because when it is night time that means she is going to get a bath afterwards. Oh this is a fun video of Bree playing with the keyboard.

Hello, Open Window.

There is always a moment in everyone's life that makes us take a step back a try to view everything as a whole. We view a problem, look and try to find the source of that problem and from there think of solutions to fix it. Now people say that the grass is always greener on the other side but there will always be problems. I guess the thought is that If the solution is to go to the other grass then the problems there have other solutions then looking for a better patch of grass (I hope that made sense).

The thing is I haven't been honest with everyone because I feel that if I was totally honest that I would have failed the people who have supported me from the very beginning. At first I felt that God put me in a certain position but now as I look back it was an opportunity for me to do what I love to do. Now God needs for me to move on and do his work. For those of you who don't know I went to school to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. I finish the classes, graduated and took the state test. I FAILED the state test. Now this was very frustrating because there were so many people that I've worked with that I've given them help to study and they passed the test. For me to fail the test not once, or twice but three times was very embarrassing. I was really disappointed in myself, I mean I didn't know what else I could do other then take the test for a fourth time. I did decide that I was going to take the test as many times as it needed to until I passed. Unfortunately the state board decided to raise the price of taking the test to $250.00. That is a $175.00 difference. I am thankful for the experience that I was given but I feel that I need to move in a different direction that God has intended for me. I am still looking for that open window but I know it is there and the support from my close friends and family have been a tremdous help. Thanks!
