More Pictures...

These pictures are not in order. When we got to the party all the babies started to play in the kiddie pool and we tried to get Tristan to join in. He wasn't having it (Picture #2). He fussed and cried so we took him aside and gave him some fruit (Picture #3). After all the other babies were done playing in the water, Tristan decided that maybe he was interested after all (Picture #1). So anti-social!

The Info I Promised!

We had a great weekend! Some friends of ours were nice enough to invite us to their daughters 1st Birthday party. It was great fun and perfect weather for all the guests to hang out outside. John is on his own starting tomorrow! He is going to do a great job, I know it! I have been at my new job for a week now and it has been pretty good so far. I am working for a company named Circle Graphics. They produce billboards, banners and other signs. The company is small...but they have a huge clientele. They make all their products on site. The company has recently come out with Eco-Flex which is the material the billboards or posters are printed on. It is different than other materials because this one can be recycled. All other billboard materials can not be broken down because of harmful gases that would be released into the air. Long story short, the Eco-Flex is a big deal for this company. They are growing quickly and need people to help keep up with the clients. My job at the company for now is Data Entry (glorified receptionist). I am one of the two people who receives the orders sent in by the clients and enters them into the computer system. I also download the art sent in by the clients and many other random things. My manager has something else in mind for me, however, I am not entirely sure what it is. Something about supervisor..something..something or other. I will keep you updated. =) For now I am happy where I am at. I am making good money to do a lot of multi-tasking. John is off on Mon & Tues so he gets to stay home with Tristan. On Wed, Thur & Fri Tristan stays with a girl we know. It is a great opportunity for him to play with other kids and get away from Mom & Dad for a little bit. I am pretty happy with the fact that he only has to go three days a week though. I work Monday-Friday 9-6. I wouldn't have taken the job if it wasn't normal hours/days. Since Johns schedule will always be some what different, I wanted Tristan to have something that was constant and normal. I feel very lucky to have gotten this job and it has been/will be a great thing for us. Now we can start thinking about getting a house and some other things we have been putting off for awhile now.
I haven't been to the doctor yet. I was supposed to go the day I started working so I had to cancel the appointment. I am going to try and make another one in the near future. I feel confident that everything is fine but we are eager to make sure. =)

Tater Tots

Tristan is a walking fool, I start work on Tuesday May 26th & John is getting moved up in his training program because he is doing so well! We are very excited about all the new changes and I will give you more detailed information soon! This video was Taken 12 May 2009.

My Little Helper

Helping Mom with dishes is Tristan's new thing. When I open the dishwasher he comes running/crawling into the kitchen. I don't mind the help! Tristan and I went to a BBQ put on by one of the guys at Johns Dept this past Saturday, May 1st. They of course had some fire trucks there that we just had to get his picture with to irritate his Daddy! It was cold and misty...What happen to my sunshine & warm weather?! Both Pictures were taken 1 May 2009.

Spring Bug

Tristan and his handsome self! We went to the park on one of the prettier days last week. Tristan was happy in the stroller, but not so much when I took him out. I hope he gets over that soon. I plan on swimming often with him this summer. He loves water, so I think he will enjoy it. Tristan has started with a new sound/word......"Oh". We really are not to sure what he is trying to tell us, but we are happy he is expanding his 'vocabulary'!

A Turn Of Events

John and I found out yesterday that we had a miscarriage at about 13 weeks 4 days. We both understand that things like this happen and that there isn't much that can be done. We are both doing okay and still plan to have another baby in the future. As for now, we ask that you keep us in your prayers. The next week or so is going to be a little difficult. We are still going to have to go to the hospital and deal with this. Thank you for your love and support!
