When we had our snow day last Friday Adam took his first steps and started figuring out how to play ball. He also loves to climb the stairs and lately he has had the case of the giggles at night before bed.
It’s hard to believe how quickly he is growing up!
This is the rocking chair that George built me and my Grandma painted it red for Adam.
Last Thursday it started raining/snowing/thundering and continued to snow until Saturday.
This was only the beginning…
This is what we ended up with…about 12 inches.
Adam’s first Easter was pretty uneventful but we had a good time. He got his Easter basket and we went to church and then I made a ham dinner.
It has been a while since I have last posted and a lot has been happening.
The biggest happening in our lives is that Adam and I traveled to California to surprise my mom for her birthday. The trip was quick and involved a ton of driving but it was all worth it.
While we were in town we went to Seascape and then spent some time at the beach. Adam enjoyed the sand much more this time around and got to touch a star fish.
It is hard to believe that Adam is now 10 1/2 months. He is changing so quickly these days and it is hard to keep up. He was crawling and pulling himself up at 8 1/2 months and now is enjoying walking with help and walking along furniture. Today he managed to crawl up all of the stairs in our house. He is eating more and more adult foods and I am beginning to wonder where all the time has gone.
All is well here in Wyoming for Leevi and I…both of us are loving our jobs. Leevi is on his first week of being on call for investigations. So far he has had two calls and it has been a big learning experience for him.
It has been a long time since I have posted anything so here is what we have been up to…
I started my new job just over 1 month ago and am loving it! I really could not have made a better decision…I am less stressed and work with a great group of people not to mention my office is only 3 minutes from the house.
Leevi took his engineers test for the Fire Dept. and placed 10th out of 23 guys. I am very proud of how well he did and look forward to seeing where this will take us. He is going to be going to a class in a week and will be gone for 5 days. I am not looking forward to being by myself but I am sure I will make it through. He will be taking another class in Pennsylvania in July and will be gone for over a week.
In Feb. Adam and I went to my sister’s house to visit everyone…
It was great to see everyone…I wish we lived closer. On the way to Cali Adam started clapping and while we were in Cali he was starting to crawl. About 1 week after we got back he was crawling all over the place and pulling himself up on anything and everything. His newest thing is to shake his head “no”…I really do not think he understands but he thinks its pretty funny.
A couple of weeks ago he got his first really illness requiring medication…a double ear infection. He never acted like he had an ear infection so I was surprised but we got through that and now he has a cold…it never seems to end.
Its hard to believe that 9 months have passed by and that he is starting to do all sorts of new things…everyday is a new adventure with him and I love it :)
So with Adam being more mobile we decided it was necessary to change our 70s metal railing to wood. I love the way it turned out..I was nervous at first but it looks great. The guy doing the work has a little finishing touches to do next weekend but other than that it is done.
Before…
After…
Yesterday we took the drive to Denver to buy my new car since our dealer in Cheyenne wouldn’t give us a better deal. It is a 2008 Honda CRV with all the bells and whistles…
In other news I got a new job!!! I will be working at the Wyoming State Retirement Department. I will be working with the 457b plan which is the voluntary retirement plan. I am really excited to be moving on and am looking forward to a little less stress!
I start my final week of classes Tuesday and will be done on the 2nd! I am so excited that I will finally be done with college after everything that I have accomplished while being in school, I have a lot to be proud of!
It’s snowing like crazy here today so the pictures had to be taken in the garage…
