And I Realized...

I forgot to post the family pictures we did on the 30th! Shame on me!



This was used as our family 8x10





This one is my favorite, by far!



This is my second favorite!

DUUUUUUUUUDE!

I haven't posted in like two months! What is wrong with me?!?!

Well, I don't know if you noticed this or not, but Cael is turning one year old in six days. SIX DAYS. Am I freaking out? Yes, that's what I do.

Everyone has been well here. Cael has six teeth, is cruising and speed-crawling, and flirts his little heart out when there are girls around. He loves to say "dada," "mama," "no no," and "kee ka" (kitty cat). He also says "bubba" and "Gigi" (Brad's grandma). He weighs around 19 pounds and still has a big head and short body for his age. We're getting a "big boy" car seat for his birthday from Grandma Judy and Papa Russ. He's getting so big that I'm starting to get lost... He's already getting more independent and is hardly ever near me, can I handle anymore growing up? I guess I'll have to...

Brad's still at the copy center and loving it. He also recently (Christmas time) got an iPod Touch which he constantly plays with. He also has a brand new headset (Triton AX720) for the PS3 and is one a clan for Black Ops.

I'm at the daycare now and working roughly 25 hours a week. I love it there! It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than retail in any shape or form, especially anything at Dollar General. The people I work with are awesome and the kids are fun and hilarious. We have bad days sometimes but it's to be expected from two-year-olds. On Friday, we played with snow and talked about airplanes and cars (our current unit is transportation). I'm also taking all online classes and it's going really well so far. Though, it does seem like every week I end up slacking on one class while taking care of the rest. This week I accidentally slid off on my Technology for Teachers class. Whoops! Luckily I got most of it caught up tonight.

I found out on Thursday, when one of Cael's teachers was clocking out for the day, that she and Cael had a tickle fight and he headbutted her and busted her lip. It had swollen up and I felt so bad! She was a good sport though and laughed it off. I'm glad it wasn't anything more serious!

I found out this past week that another manager at Dollar General has quit and one cashier is leaving within a few weeks. The store manager is out "sick" with something that is requiring her to take off two weeks (ish). I remember having to pretty much pull teeth if another employee (or I) was sick and couldn't come in. Lovely how management always gets the best treatment and the employees under them get crapped on.

I figured since I've had a rant on here about my previous employer's poor management skills, I should break it up with some new(ish) pictures of Cael!


Messy boy in the bath
