Good Stuff!

First I must admit that I have been a terrible Blogger. I'm sorry. I will not promise that I'll do better, but I will certainly try to post more often. Here's the "good stuff"...

Harley got the position that he applied for at KUB! He will be moving from the DPT (Damage Prevention Team) to a USA (Utility Service Advisor.) He begins his new position on Monday, March 3rd.

I applied for and was promoted to a Collections Supervisor at Semperian! (GMAC) I also start my new position on Monday, March 3rd. I found out on Monday and since then I have been helping a brand new group of employees out on the floor until they leave at 9. Some of them will be on my team, but they don't know it yet. In fact only some of the other Supervisors and my current team know right now. The big announcement should come tomorrow. I will have 11 members on my team and found out who they are today (Wed.) I have a ton to learn but I am thrilled and so excited!

We have so much to be thankful for. We have had a very exciting few weeks. :) Everyone is healthy and happy too! Yay!

Hayley decided she was ready for potty-training! When they are ready, they are ready. She is doing great. She stays dry during nap and overnight and only has an accident on occasion. We are very close to having only one in diapers. Technically we do only have one in diapers, but Hayley is still mainly wearing pull-ups so same thing...almost. Once we get the transition of the new job situation down (they will be cared for by a friend for 5 hours/day) I will cut out the pull-ups all together. What a big girl!

We have been quite crafty too. Along with cakes and cookies, I decided we would try an interesting craft from one of my favorite magazines (Good Housekeeping.) It was noted as easy, even for kids. Ha! It was a mess. There was glue everywhere, and on everything including us. However, Mommy finally created 4 yarn bowls. Two are pictured below. The kids had their pictures put into photo Valentine's cards. They had fun putting them together and decorating the envelopes. Hayley ate the tip off ao a black Crayola marker. Nice!



We did a switch-er-roo with Hudson and one of Hayley's baby dolls. We laughed and laughed!Too funny, take a look...


Hudson turned six months old on the 17th. That really went by fast! Here are a few pictures of my littlest man. Isn't that hair just too much? :)

The Lord has truly blessed us and we are so thankful. Things have been a bit tough but God is faithful and I know we are both learning as we go day to day. I know that I am learning patience and the power of prayer. God is good!
