Overdue Update!!

Wow! So, I'm really behind in updating the blog and there is so much to include, but I'm just going to give a quick update and hopefully I can get some pictures posted REALLY soon!!

Chris continues to do REALLY well in the Culinary Arts program and truly loves it! And don't get us wrong, Mommy and Brian LOVE it when daddy comes home and cooks!! This semester he is taking American Regional Cuisine, Baking, and Asian Cuisine classes! Grammy is super jealous about the baking class and Poppy can't stand it that Chris is taking the Asian class!!! :)

Daddy has also been such a wonderful father and husband over the past 3 weeks as Mommy got a new job!!!! She is working with Smart Courier, which is a shipping company, that ships freight to VA, NC, TN, and AL! She was hired as their bookkeeper and has really enjoyed learning the job! The owner is really nice and is allowing Mommy to be flexible with her work hours - right now she is mostly working 7:00pm - 3:00am, so Brian doesn't have to be put in daycare! It's a tough schedule to get used to, especially when Mommy gets home from work at 3:30am and then the alarm goes off at 5:00am so Daddy can leave for school at 5:30am!! Thankfully that only happens on Wednesdays! And Brian usually lets Mommy sleep until at least 7-7:30am! Mommy has gotten pretty good at getting in at least a small nap while Brian naps these days!

Brian continues to get bigger and bigger each day! He is walking (RUNNING!!) all over the place and very rarely stops! At his 15 month check-up he weighed 23lbs 15 oz and was 30 inches long! He continues to be in the 50% for weight and 25% for height. He's a growing boy!! He LOVES to be outside and really enjoys his basketball goal, firetruck (Thanks Ben!!!), and popper! He has also decided that it is HIS job to walk Raelin (our Cocker Spaniel). He loves riding in his wagon, and when he does he has to be the one holding Raelin's leash! When we just go outside to walk, he also has to hold her leash and, of course, does not want any help from Mommy!!!! Thankfully, Raelin is pretty good about staying close and not jerking the leash from Brian's hand! We have also recently found out that he likes the sandbox and the water!!! We are so excited about trips to the beach this summer!!!!!!

We have been busy adjusting to our new schedule, but God continues to be gracious and we are so thankful for the job opportunity and not having to put Brian in daycare right now!

Mommy has pictures she needs to post so hopefully they'll come soon!!!
