It's been a little over a month since my last posting, so I figured I was way overdue here. It's so hard to think back of what has happened the past month. Well, first off, busy season is OVER!! Boy, am I excited!! It got a little crazy, and lasted a couple weeks longer than expected, but it's done. Now I have actually been able to enjoy my 'part-time' status at work. The past month I've pretty much only been working 4 days a week for 30-35 hours, which is pretty nice. It allows me some bonus time with Austin on my extra day off and to be able to get some things done around the house.
Let me look back at my Outlook calendar for a refresher.....oh yeah, Jordan had surgery on his head. He had a cyst on the back of his head that was getting pretty big. After being referred to a specialist, they decided to put him under and do surgery to remove it. Don't worry, I won't post the pic here; it's pretty gross. But his head got all stitched up and his hair has almost grown back completely. And the tests came back on the cyst and everything came back normal, so nothing more to worry about, hopefully.
Easter was a blast with Austin this year, since he was a little older. I took off work the Friday before, so that I could attend his Easter egg hunt at school. I was worried he wouldn't grasp the concept of carrying the basket, picking up the plastic eggs, and placing them in his basket. Obviously, I underestimated our little man! He was a hunting-pro! Then Saturday we took Austin up to participate in the neighborhood Easter egg hunt in Woodcreek. Once again, he did great. It was a little crazy up there with too many kids, but it was fun nonetheless.
We went to stay out at Jordan's parents house that night so that we could be there Easter morning. We ate a delicious lunch and then he hunted eggs with his two cousins. Finally, that afternoon, we hunted eggs for a FOURTH time at our house with my family. Needless to say, we had plenty of hunting for the holiday. :)Mid-April, Jordan ventured to New Orleans for three days for his BFF Phil's bachelor party. I don't have many details, but I'm sure it was filled with lots of drinking, topless ladies, and plenty of debauchery.
No worries, Austin and I had plenty of bonding time while Daddy was wasted in the Big Easy. ;) The next weekend was Phil and Lisa's wedding. It was held in the garden at a cute little bed & breakfast in Jefferson. Austin stayed with Mamaw & Papaw while Mommy & Daddy had some adult time. It was a great time hanging out with friends and relaxing.Overall, it's been a busy month. We've begun the countdown to our big vacation; only 47 days!!! Austin officially has a passport and is ready to travel the world!! Got the plane tickets, cruise, and hotel booked; all we need is to pack up all of our crap for 8 days of fun!
Austin will be 18 months old in less than two weeks. I really can't believe how fast time has flown by. He's not a baby anymore, just a little boy. He loves to run everywhere, jabbers a mile a minute, and is a complete Mommy's boy. :) We bought him a big playset for the backyard a few weeks ago. What a task it was to put that thing together. But I'm so glad, because he absolutely loves playing on it! He's still being a great sleeper, too; on Saturdays when Jordan goes to work, I can usually get him to sleep til 9 or 9:30 which is AMAZING!
I know the next kid we have we may not be so lucky with. I'm not sure if we've actually 'earned our stripes', as a co-worker referred to it as the other day, since he was such an easy baby from the get-go. But we'll just have to take our chances. ;) Til next time.........
