aha!!

So, i know life is filled with wow moments and about a week ago i had mind. I was recently terminated from a horrible miserable job that i would drag myself to everyday. I prayed every morning for the lord to just get me through the day and at the end of the two weeks there would be a paycheck to reward my miserable work. now i have had some time to think since i was released and here is what i have discovered.
1. people who are old and uneducated and your boss feel inferior to you.
2. if you come up with a better idea than they had then they are resenting you
3. when you are around garbage that cusses and talks about sleeping around all the time what does that make you? a gossiping, loose-lifestyle following example of the majority of all people.
4. realizing that god has called you to live a better, more fulfilling life free of smut... ahhhhh

so then the aha hit me. PATIENCE my child, is what god kept whispering in my ear. He released me from my prison, prompted me to phone an acquaintance, and now i am waiting to find out about a job within my field of study, paying double what i was making before, and with hopefully people the lord wants to place in my life.

I have learned over the past three months that i need to have a management team around me that builds each other up, when they make mistakes guide them through them so they dont happen again, and encourages me in my faith. Now other than be patient what do i need to do most??? begin praying for my future co-workers, that they love the lord and can encourage me in my faith....

Another aha i had. when you are drained from a miserable job you become a crummy wife and a pathetic excuse for a mother. so the past week has been the best, most relaxing, most fulfilling that i have had as a mother and a wife. partially because AC began saying "memememe" which sounds alot like mommy, and "dededede" which sounds alot like daddy.

What i have discovered this week that s new about ac:
she likes to eat paper ( my little billy goat)
she loves to spill Luke's water bowl and splash around in the water
she loves to play with pots and pans
she likes to hear herself echo in my stand up shower
she can stand on all fours and look through her legs at whats going on behind her. (she thinks its hilarous if you pop out of no where and say boo while she is doing this)
she LOVES pickles..... only the kosher sandwich spears... wierd?? i know!!!

FAMILY





This face is OH MY GOODNESS this is ALL for me. WE were laughing hysterically.



Yay ... a new rattle, since luker decided he wanted to eat it up one day!


And a baby chick


And a baby chick!!! Its soooo soft

AC really suprised us here. She was really into her easter basket. And loved the bow I tied at the top. Bubbles, a rattle, a knit chick that Daddy bought her, and a few other knick knacks.... Here is the progression of the basket to her precious dress my mommy made her.

Much overdue update..

Well right now i dont have any pictures to update but i will say that AC is growing and changing so much. Last night i went with Candace (Babysitter) and her family to eat pizza at the Pizza Cafe. On the way there i began to tickle AC and she starting giggling like crazy. She probably giggled for 5 minutes. It is ranking as one of my top 5 mom moments so far. She is really starting to cuddle with casey and i and when she gets scared she reaches for us and wants to bury her head in your shoulder. It just makes me melt everytime. We are hoping to find a pack and play and exersaucer in the next couple weeks so she will have some "big -baby" toys. I swear all of this equipment is soooo expensive.

We have finally gotten her room decorated the way we want it and are starting to focus on toys. Right now her favorite toys are keys (mine), luke's tail and ears, a hairbrush, and anything soft. Forget what's designed for children the other stuff is what she has her eye on. When we went for the four month checkup about 2 weeks back the doc said she has a small head (10%tile) lower weight (40%tile) and is an amazon in length (95%tile) Just for those of you who have no concept of baby clothes she is wearing what most one year olds wear at only 4 1/2 months. That's right folks... we are wearing 18 month clothing.... (usually the size is one up from the age. ex. a 3 month old may be wearing 6 month clothing...etc..)

Right now that is all that is going on with her. Casey is doing WONDERFUL in school, and i won a recent competition at work for leasing the most apartments in one month. Luke is being his usual noisey self and just this week went spulunking through Parker's trash and brought me a cardboard base to a frozen pizza. (I guess this means he wants to be a pizza delivery pup) I will upload pics as soon as we take a bunch this weekend. Stay posted!!
