Man, I've really enjoyed my summer as mr mom! I can't believe I only have about a month left. I'm going to try and convince Kris to let me be mr mom permanately, haha!
I have a little 2 day orientation at the end of July, and then start school on August 1st. I had to buy a book for this orientation, and have assignments that are due then. I can't believe I have homework already, it has been so long, ha.
Kris is really enjoying her job. We also love her being back on days. We think she may even get to to 7 am to 7 pm soon, which is more normal for nurses. She did tell me yesterday though, when her year is up, she may look into going back to ICU. She likes the er, but there are certain things she doesnt like.
Anthony is doing great, he is such a blessing. He has finally started holding his own bottle which is really helpful. He isn't crawling yet, but is rolling everywhere. Still no teeth, but mom said neither Erin (my sister) or I started teething until at least a year.
These are just a few random pics I took today. This outfit came from the kids store that my mom and sister run, and we just thought he was adorable in it! love to all :)

One more month
Friday, May 29, 2009
Mr. Mom
Well, here it is almost June. I just can't believe how fast time is going. The weather has turned warm and is beautiful. Anthony and I try to spend a little bit of time outside every day, he loves it.
I am really enjoying staying at home. I'd like to convince Kris to let it be permanent, haha! It does get boring sometimes and I try to find little things to get me out of the house every now and then, but overall, I LOVE it.
Little Anthony is growing like a weed. He's a chunk weighing in at around 22 pounds, last count. He's cooing and giggling and making all kinds of noise. My favourite is probably when he sighs! He's not crawling yet, nor does he have any teeth, but he's rolling around all over the place.
Kris is REALLY enjoying her job. Even more so now that she's days. I love having her home at night. I could never sleep when she was at work. We're having a great time. We bought a tent this last week, mainly for our family reunion, but we're looking forward to putting it to good use this summer.
I have A lot of pics to upload. They are all of random things. Some are from our trip to Ruidoso and some are just random shots or Anthony. We recently painted the inside of the house, I haven't got any pics yet, but hope to get some soon.
Anyways, love to all, and God bless!

Time
Where does the time go? I'm telling you as I get older, it seems to go really fast. I feel like I just updated this blog and yet it has really been weeks, ha! Warm weather has arrived in Lubbock and it's great. Having worked outside, I typically don't like cold weather, ha! But spring and summer have arrived and it's great.
For the first time ever, Kris and I have been busy in the front and back garden. It's great owning your own home. We've been raking leaves, pulling weeds all sorts of fun things getting ready for the growing season. We're going to get some solar power lights for the front, and plant some petunias as well. We will see if I have a green thumb or not, ha. We're also thinking about growing a little vegetable garden in the back yard.
We have a screened in porch on the back and are really enjoying it as well. It houses my grill so I'm spending a lot of time out there with little Anthony. We probably grill something every other day. We love a good steak and some marinated chicken, ha.
We recently took a trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico with my parents and had a great time. We're thinking about purchasing a vacation home there so are looking forward to that. I have lots of pictures to post but unfortunately, I left my camera and haven't been able to post them :(
And as y'all know, I recently quit my job and am now mr mom until I start school in August. It's a lot of fun most of the time, ha. Sometimes, after the house is clean and there's nothing else to do, I get a bit bored. But, I'm going to try and look into volunteering somewhere to get out of the house.
Kris is doing really well and loving her job. She starts days week after next which we are really looking forward to. Little Anthony is also doing well. HE's getting so big, I need to share some photos. He's started rolling back and forth which is fun watching. Accept we can't leave him anywhere, ha.
Guess this post is long enough, just wanted to catch everyone up! Love to all :)
