PARKER- We have finally made the transition from the crib to the "big boy" bed. After more than 2 1/2 years, he finally figured out that he could climb out of the crib. I am just glad that it lasted this long! He has always been such a good sleeper, and we were very nervous that this might really mess things up! I am happy to report that it has been 2 nights now since we made the switch, and so far so good! He thinks it is pretty cool to climb in and out himself, and tells us "I do it myself. See!" We are hoping that it continues to go this smoothly! Next on our to-do-list is to conquer the paci and potty training, which I have a feeling will not go nearly as smooth! Oh- and we can't forget the "BIG" haircut. We took him to have his haircut finally (since I have been doing it myself for the past year). The girl was a little scissor happy, and left most of his curls laying on the floor. It's OK though, I am betting they will be back by Christmas at the rate his hair grows. Plus-we of course think he is adorable, curls or no curls!
STACEY- As most of you know, I am in a "waiting" mode right now to find out if I am going to have a job after the first of the year or not. The entire flex-time pharma sales force is either going to continue in 2009, or we will all have our last day on Dec. 19th. We did not find out last week like we originally thought we would, so I am still just waiting. It has been an emotional roller coaster to say the least, and all I can do now is hope and pray that it works out how it is suppose to. I really do feel truly blessed to have had this job the past 2 years, and will always be thankful for that no matter what. Parker and I went to the lakehouse for a little overnight getaway last week with my mom and dad. It is so relaxing and beautiful up there in the fall, and it was so great to have some time with Parker and my parents. My mom's health is SO much better now, and it is so wonderful to see! Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers right now with my job, and I will be sure to keep you posted!
ANTHONY- Since Anthony doesn't do the blogging in the family, I will have to write for him :) He is really enjoying his job, and is doing very well! We are both just so happy that he is loving what he does. He has a nightly ritual with Parker which always includes playing cars and wrestling around on the floor! Sometimes it is hard to tell who is having more fun! I take over car and wrestling duties when Anthony is not here, but it is no secret that Anthony is the better wrestler of the 2 of us! He also deserves some kind of reward for being so supportive and great to me lately. One of the things I love about him is his constant optimistic outlook on life, which is exactly what I have needed during all of this work stress. So, hats off to Anthony for being a great husband, and a great father!
Here are some pictures from the past month. We are now gearing up for Thanksgiving this week and then Christmas will be right around the corner! I hope everyone has a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
