We're back!

Finally I am getting on to post. We had a pretty nice vacation. The weather was decent put pretty hot and humid. It didn't rain one bit while we were out there.

Eric loves to swim and really liked going into the ocean. Of course he didn't go in farther than his knee level, but either way it was progress! For months before we left he kept telling us he wouldn't go in the water and the first beach trip we took the first thing out of his mouth was that he wanted to put his feet in the water! He also loved Nonnie's pool and got to the point were he was comfortable enough to go in without an adult to hold on to, wearing floaties of course. He was even jumping in from the ladder.

Isaac did really well out there. He was great on the flights in and still maintained his nap schedule for pretty much the whole trip. I was pleasantly surprised! He loved the sand at the beach and once he got digging, he didn't normally move for a long time. He wasn't scared of the water either and asked to go back quite frequently.

Aunt Mary was awesome to take us to the private beach in Watch Hill a few times and it was beautiful! We also go to enjoy at Buzzard Bay near Cape Cod.

All in all it was a pretty good vacation. There were some stress factors, but aren't there always? The long flight back with Isaac was horrible, but we won't even go into details.

Here are some pictures:

Slacking

So I have been in a slump and I haven't really taken any new pictures lately. I am really just waiting for my chance to get some good sand and beach pictures. We leave in 5 days!

Here is a link to my flickr page, where I put a lot of my "good" pictures. I don't want to say professional, as I don't think I am on that level yet. I really strive to be eventually though.

2 weeks and counting!

We leave for our vacation 2 weeks from today and I can hardly contain myself, I am so excited!! Here is a picture of Eric the last time we went to the East Coast, he was 19 months old:


I need to vent about my job. It seems like they will hire anyone that can talk. It is so frustrating, not only do these people ask 50 million questions, but they don't use the tools to help them out. I'm tired of cleaning up their messes and answering their questions. It's not rocket science! We have a database that stores all of our procedures so that anyone off the street can come in and do our job. I guess that isn't true, but wait, it would be if these "agents" actually USED IT! UGH!

Isaac hates the camera

The Boys

Last week of class!

Tonight is my last night of class, WOO HOO! I'm pretty sure I am taking some time off of school, at least until the beginning of next year. I wanted to take the EKG course, but I don't see it necessary as of right now. There aren't a lot of jobs out there for my newly acquired EMT-B license. However, I do have an interview in October, yes I said October, for a local ambulance company. If I do get hired on, it will only be part time and just to get some experience. I have no interest in working in the field. It's not enough pay for the danger that is out there.

The boys are good. Eric starts his summer day camp with preschool tomorrow and we are about a month out from vacation. It seems like such a teaser to book a vacation so far in advance, but it is coming down to the wire now :-). Check back soon for new pictures of my little men!
