New Job!!!

Sorry I haven't updated. I am using the excuse that my camara will not upload to my computer, but I should have posted this anyway. Keith got a job three weeks ago. He works for InhouseIT. He is a network manager (or something like that). He gets to install equipment and phone systems along with configuring servers and such. I can't really go into details seeing how I don't speak IT lingo. He seems really happy there and likes all the guys he works with. He is learning a lot and is working long hours, but we are managing. Jonathan took it hardest when Daddy couldn't snuggle with him at night. Keith has made it a point to be home yesterday and today to tuck him in so we are having a good couple of days. I will try to post our family outing from the other weekend as soon as the pictures are on my computer!

Ethan's Birthday

Ethan is such a fun little boy. He loved every minute of his birthday and he made it so much fun to cater to his wants. We went to McDonald's for his first happy meal. Of course he loved it. (It's food, no need to say more.) We took him after we dropped Jonathan off for preschool. It is always fun to see his joy at all the attention he gets when Jonathan is on his own. As a mom, it is hard to balance the two kids and I feel guilty when I think of all the 'alone' time Jonathan received when he was Ethan's age. That night Grandma, Daddy and I took both boys to Chuck E Cheese and they loved it!

Meeting the Family

Okay, here I am blogging. Peer pressure has hit me hard in this area and I have caved. I guess that I can start out by introducing my family. Keith, my husband, is an IT Director, currently looking for a position, and his true passion is producing. He majored in Multi-media Communication Technology with an emphasis in producing. He is an awesome father and an extremely supportive husband. I am truly blessed to have him in my life.

I am a stay at home mom with two kids. I love to read, write, sing, play piano and spend time with my family. I live in Aliso Viejo, California and I enjoy it. I do miss having seasons a little so I look forward to a change in location eventually. I spend my days chasing two boys and trying to keep up with the house work and keeping all of my boys fed and happy. I am terrified off having my two boys grow into teenagers. They already eat as much as I do and I don't even want to know what our grocery bill will be when they are in sports and growing like weeds. (Not like they aren't already)

Jonathan is our oldest son at three and is extremely insightful. He is sensitive to the feelings of others and is very protective of his little brother. He just finished up his second semester of preschool and he loves it. Of course I love it as well! He enjoys learning from his teacher, Miss Kelli, and seeing his friends three days a week. He claims Spencer McLendon as his best friend right now, but that changes daily with his activities. Some days his "uncle" Han is his best friend. Such is the nature of children, but it is fun to watch him acclimate to social circles all the same.

Ethan is a robust one year old and one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. He loves to laugh and eat, sometimes he does both at the same time. His favorite activity is watching Jonathan run around in circles, literally. He loves to say "Dadadadada", much to my chagrin, and thinks it's funny when I try to get him to say "Mama". His favorite toy is a Leap Frog table that Jonathan generously donated to him on his first birthday. We are very proud of Jonathan for doing that willingly and he has yet to take it back, I am still waiting for that to happen.

Well, that sums up the family pretty well. I am unsure of how often I will update, but I think that this will be fun!
