This and That...

Well, I think I have pretty much given up on being real consistent with blogging. I really enjoy it! I just don't know where the time goes. What have we been up to? Well, the girls are growing and loving life. They have started to play together, which has been so funny to watch! I posted a video of it at the end of this post, so watch it if you have time to! Lindey still doesn't say much other than hi. But she does know quite a few signs and lately has been babbling and moving her lips the way she sees us move our lips when we talk. I think shes close! Shanna can write her name, which she is very proud of! :) She started gymnastics at the beginning of this month and has really loved it! Eric has been doing a few things around the house and I for some reason haven't mentioned yet that I started working at a rehabilitation facility as a certified nursing assistant at the beginning of October. I work Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 2:30 to 11 and Eric comes home from work at 2 on those days and watches the girls. I am really liking it, but there you have it..The reason I have been so non existent in the blogging world as of late. Now enough jabbering! :) Here are a few pics...


The girls were playing dress up. Here Lindey is making a silly face. (She has been doing that more and more when the camera comes out)

Gorgeous outfit!

Notice again the silly look on Lindey's face!

Conked out during lunch after a long morning of hard play!


Eric tiled the backsplash here just recently and I thought it looked really good! I don't know what I did without it before this!

Lindey is modeling a hat I made that can be made either for a boy...

Or a girl. Just add different accessories to it and there you go!


Ok so please excuse the mess. Its just about bedtime for the girls.

And yes, this is 2 in a half minutes long. And I would say its worth every second. But I am a bit partial :) So you can just watch a few seconds if you don't have time. She laughs near the beginning so you have to watch til you see that..Its pretty cute!

Wow! They're getting so big! I feel like you were just announcing Lindey being born a few months ago! And that hat is ADORABLE!

Adorable videos! I love the one of them chasing each other:) Your job hours sound great too- congrats...although, busy I'm sure. I'm glad you're still finding the time for occasional updates:)

Super cute! Love the hat {adorable!}, and the back splash and the dress up! So much fun! I don't really know what mess you're talking about though. As much as I saw, your house looked better than mine usually does and I only have one baby who isn't even crawling yet! But anyway, this was a fun post! Thanks for the update! It's good to hear how things are going for you guys.

That's funny that you're working as a CNA now. Well, that's not really funny, but I thought so because I just decided to go back to that job too. I worked at Bremerton Health and Rehab, and Bay Pointe/Marine Courte as a CNA before I got married. If I have any advice, stay away from Bremerton if you can help it. Both of those places were no good when I worked there, and all the administration was fired shortly after I quit. Hopefully it's better now, but even my friend who is an administrator of a nursing home here in Pullman has heard lots of bad stories about Bremerton specifically.

I was curious if you are still working towards being a nurse, and if this job is part of that goal? It definitely gives you an understanding and appreciation for the job a nurse does...and if you do become a nurse, you will appreciate your nurse's aides and the difficulties of their job.
Way ta be!
