We've been busy, busy people the last few weeks. That's my excuse anyway. For most things. Including my blog. So anyway...Lots of changes happening in our lives. I recently changed my full time job to PRN (as needed) and took on another PRN job at an agency. This is a big step for us, a little scary too. We're been very used to the stability that my full time job gave so this is going to be a great test for us in trusting that the Lord will provide. With this change I get to stay at home more (yayyyy!!!) which is something I've longed for since Adelaide was born. Never thought I'd want to be a "stay at home mom" but this change is going to be perfect. I'll only work 1-2 days a week! Basically stay at home right??
With the extra time at home Adelaide and I have been discovering new things to do in the city. We went to Crown Center last week and played in the water and she just loved it so today we went and took Daddy and got to take some pictures too!
Here's daddy and Adelaide getting ready to walk near the water.
She loves to play in the water! The next picture is her standing all by herself. She will only stand by herself if there is something in front of her she REALLY wants to touch...usually flowers.
Ta-daaa!
Mom and dad pictures
And then I made Tyler run through the water with her. She loved it. Dad thought it was a little cold however...
After that we made an unplanned trip to the new aquarium. We've really wanted to go for a while but it's kind of expensive. We liked it but it will probably be a once a year kind of attraction. Adelaide really enjoyed it though and it was a great way to spend an afternoon.
She's showing Daddy what the fishies do.
She now thinks she has to walk everywhere but insists on holding our hand. No independent walking yet but we think it's coming soon!
This picture makes me feel old because she's starting to look like such a toddler.
This last picture is my favorite. Adelaide stuck her head in the globe and I'm not sure if she meant to do her fishy face (she opens and closes her mouth) but she looks like a little fish!
The other event that I was able to attend recently was my Grandpa's 75th surprise birthday party. It was great to be able to celebrate with everyone. My Grandpa Pat is a fantastic grandparent and great-grandparent. I'm so blessed to have them close by and that they are still able and willing to play with Adelaide!
I'll leave you with a picture that shows true Gish party tradition. The girls in the kitchen talking/cooking/playing with the baby and the guys watching sports (baseball in this case)
So hopefully now that I have more time I can blog our lives a little more often. We already have so many things planned over the next few months now that it's nice!!
