Stay at home mom

After a few of our friends have started blogs, I finally am jumping on the bandwagon. I thought this would be a good, and hopefully easy, way for everyone to keep up with whats going on at our home...don't worry, it will mainly be about Aaron. Caleb and I have come to understand that is most important to everyone. I hope that I will update this often and I will definitely have a lot of pictures of our handsome baby.

What better day to start a blog than on my official last day of employment. I got a wonderful welcome to the life of the unemployed from Dad this afternoon. For those who don't know the details, while I was pregnant with Aaron I arranged with my work to return part time. I was the first in my position to have this opportunity and was very thankful for it. I was loving my job and thought that part time would be a great mix. I went back to work in June when Aaron was 10 weeks old. Caleb's mom, aka Grammy, watched Aaron since she is out of school for summer break. We were hoping to find someone to watch Aaron when she went back to work (this week). As the time got closer for her to return to work, we had not found someone to watch Aaron (we are very picky) so we decided for me to be a stay at home mom. I have been so excited about this opportunity. I missed Aaron so much when I was working and it was a lot harder on our family than I thought it would be. So, 30 days ago, I turned in my notice...and today I had my last day.

I am so excited about getting to be with Aaron all day and be the one to watch him learn to do all the new things. I will fill everyone in later with all his new skills. He is growing so quick and I don't want to miss a thing. Hopefully with this blog, everyone else can stay up to date as well.

Here a couple recent pictures...more to come.

We are so glad Brian and Jen are back from Bolivia...they returned July 31st.

Aaron sitting like an old man...
fyi...Brian is holding him up in the back. He is not sitting yet, even though his Aunt Jen is trying to teach him to like they do in Sudan. Sudanese babies sit around 3 months.
