The Last Month or So ...

I'm very sorry that I haven't written in a month or more. If you took a look at my house, you would know why. Most of our house is in boxes. We shuffle to get anywhere in each room. Toys and food are everywhere because William is eating us out of house and home and he refuses to be away from me every waking moment. I realized the other day that I am "that" mom. You know ... the one who lives in chaos, hair in a messy ponytail, baby food stains on her pants, baby snot on her shirt, tripping on toys, just trying to manage each day, but at night when her baby lays on her for 5 seconds before bedtime she thinks it is all worth it and only wants to talk about her precious little boy. :) Yep, I'm living right there.

Just to update you all. We are currently unemployed. Isaac has been on Terminal Leave for 2 weeks and has been home and looking for jobs. We thought we had the perfect one lined up (and it still might come through) but then the sequester happened and now we are back to hunting again. Everyone in our church keeps asking us why we are still here. Apparently, they announced that we were moving to Maryland 2 weeks ago. I'm so tired of telling people what kind of silly predicament we are in currently. :)

I barely get to use this computer these days. Between Isaac being home all the time and William going though a terribly clingy stage (he only wants me), I feel like I'm not really myself and all my regular habits are no where to be found. Surprisingly, I've been ok with all of the chaos. I thought I would be a mess emotionally, but Isaac and I have a lot of time to talk about stuff, we communicate when we each need space from each other, and Isaac has the energy to really help me with William and give me a break from him. I'm not saying I like unemployment, but we are managing.

Our prayers right now are that we can make good choices about which job to accept and which ones to refuse. And also that our friends and family will understand if we have to take a job far from them.

Here are some pics taken in the last month or so ...

Isaac's last day in his uniform!!!

William holding his own bottle 

 We took a road trip lately and William discovered that we were just behind him in the car. So he spent most of his time trying to twist around and find us. It was a lot of fun! :)

Trying to reach the camera

Look at those precious eyes

 BATH TIME!!!!

Eating Spaghetti and Meatballs for the first time :)

We are trying to get him to stand up with help :) It doesn't work for very long, but we caught a funny shot of his face one time.
