just hanging about

Sorry it's been a little time since I last wrote...pretty much because not a lot has happened in the last few weeks. I have been enjoying time as a mom to my two wonderful children. The last couple of weeks I have been working on completing a substitute training course. Today I had an interview for a substitution position...I think it went pretty well. If it didn't...well then, more time with my babies :). Otherwise, I'm pretty excited about working a couple of days a week. I still have to complete some classroom observation and get a permit...so it will still take some time before I even know anything. Anyways, we've been having a good time just hanging out at home and spending time with friends and family. Brenton is getting to be a very big boy. He weighs about 11 1/2 lbs now. He's rolling over a lot more now, grabbing things, smiling and laughing all the time. He brings a lot of joy to our family. Aleigha is growing up all too quick as well. She is learning every day. She is so smart and so much fun. These two kids together are mine and Chris' pride and joy. We are a very blessed and fortunate.

Where did our little girl go?? I think she skipped being a toddler and went straight to pre-school age. (Sorry it's sideways.)

My parents threw Molly a surprise party for her 16th birthday at the bowling alley. It was a great time.

Alright...I know this last video of Brenton isn't much to brag about...but the smile at the very beginning is worth it. I wish it was a picture rather than a video, but it is what it is. He was constantly smiling for seriously 10 mins before I took the video...then he decided to stop. But there aren't a whole lot of pictures of him in the blog, so I wanted to add something of my amazing little boy.
