Catching up




So a lot has happened since our previous post. first of all our little one is now two. Where does the time go? It seems like just yesterday we were bringing home from the hospital... a little baby and now he is pushing 50 lbs and stands about 38 inches tall. He makes us laugh most all the time and every now and again tries our patience as a typical two year old is supposed. We are casually trying to potty train and he is doing alright with it. I think he enjoys playing in the bathroom more but does manage to let us know when he needs to go. All in all life is definitely so much fun with this little guy around! Happy Happy late birthday to you! (just a little late July 4th) 

Next...Edwin finished his first semester of school with straight A's...what a smart guy! He put a lot of work into it and it definitely paid off. He is now in his second semester and in addition to the school work will begin his observation hours in a Physical Therapy clinic as well as his volunteer work at the hospital just down the street. He will get to sit with the cute older ladies at the front desk directing visitors as to where to go! Looking through the pics...we have no recent pics of us...only of Troy so here is one of Edwin and Troy...cute boys! on a side note the Buccaneers aren't doin so hot...(0-4) Edwin is looking for a new team...lol hahahahahaha!

So as to the other happenings in our life. I started another job. It is per diem in Labor and Delivery at one of the other hospitals in the area. It is nice to get a different view of how things are done. I work there just once a week if they need me. I continue to work at the other hospital as well. I can't believe it has been five years already. where does the time go? I feel very blessed to have gone to nursing school. I think about it often how I almost went to cosmetology school instead. I love to do hair and thought it would be a good profession however when things weren't working out how I had planned, I moved home and started into nursing school. a decision that I am so so glad to have made. I love being a nurse. somedays it is very challenging but I think I have the best job ever. Thanks to mom and dad for all your support in my earlier years when I wasn't sure what I was going to do and again thanks for helping me get through school. also a big thanks to Edwin the bestest husby ever for delaying your plans for school so that I could finish. I couldn't have done it without you! by the way the pic is from my first graduation 7 years ago...wow! 7 already!

We continue to be blessed to have mom and dad Stevenson live with us. They are doing well and are a big help expecially with Troy. They seem to match his energy and Troy loves having them around. Thanks so much for all you do!!!

So as for our latest and most exciting news...our family is expanding...and so is my stomach...lol. we are expecting another baby in March!!! yay! we are so excited and can't wait to see what we are having. Troy has been such a blessing in our lives that we can only imagine what two will do! We got a little glimpse of how Troy will treat another baby when his little cousin was here. it was neat to see his interactions at that young age and how sympathetic he seemed to be. We can't wait! Hopefully he will adjust well to a new roommate and a new little being occupying everyones time.
