New Job

Just to let everyone know who is not on facebook and who reads this I got a job yesterday. I will be working for the Roseburg Urban Sanitary Authority. It looks like a good job and I start on Monday. It is a flurry of activity around here. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers over the past several months.

Sweet Boy

Avery was chomping at the bit to get outside so we just let him go after a little lunch. There was a knock on the door a few minutes later. I grumbled as a walked to the door. If he wants to go out so bad why does he not want stay there. Turns out he had picked this flower for Georgia. I got one a few minutes later. No more grumbling.

Avery flower for mom.
P.S. he just shoved a dandy lion through the dog door.

A weekend of firsts

Along with turning one, have his carseat turned around, eating cake and taking some unprovoked steps Eli also made his first trip to Buncom, Oregon. Here is us in front of the United States Post Office. The building comprised 1/3 of the town.

Happy Birthday

We had a very nice day for Eli's birthday. Both sets of Grandparents made it down for the event. Grandma Mickey came over and so did Uncle Bob. All other parties that were planning on comming came down with various ailment. We hope everyone is feeling better. Eli enjoyed his cake very much. He had two hand fulls and would alternate between them. There will be some pictures up on Picasa tonight or tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, here is a needle in you leg

Today was Eli's 1 year check up, just one day shy of his first birthday. All things checked out okay. He weighed in at 20.3 lbs and was 30 inches long. He got a shot in each leg. I am of the opinion that the shots don't bother him that bad, but being held in one place really gets his blood pumping. The doctor said he was meeting all him milestones for a normal one year old, which is good since he was born so early.

Looking for Leprecons

Happy Saint Partics day to all. More pictures up on Picasa

Its good to be spring!

For the last two days the boys and I have been enjoying the sunshine in the after noon. Even though it is below freezing at night, daytime temperatures have been pushing up into the 60's. Today we did a little work on the flower bed. Eli was a big fan of Avery's rake. He spent most of his time twirling it above his head, or just sitting and watching what Avery and I were doing. It is so nice to be outside in the sun! Too bad it looks short lived.
