This is how James sleeps every night, thought everyone should see how adorable he is.

Finally get to be outside!

Spring is here, and we have LOVED being outside.  James begs to go outside and play every day.  If you say,  "lets go outside," he goes crazy.  He runs for his shoes and coat and waits patiently at the door.  He loves to explore when he is outside, poking at and picking up everything he sees.  We even got out our bikes and bike trailer.  Nate and James took them out last week and popped a tire on the trailer.  Apparently it was quite loud and scared everyone around them.  We are definitely missing out back yard and neighborhood, but are very grateful for the grassy area that we do have in the front of our apartment.  

We have starting potty training!  YIKES!  I can't believe James is already old enough to be potty trained.  We bought this chair off of amazon.  He seems to like it ok.  It comes with a book that he enjoys to read while sitting on the chair.  I would post a pic of him on the chair (since he looks so cute sitting on it reading his book) but James may be mad at me later if  I did :)  He has gone potty twice and poop once since we started.  I'm hoping he will catch on quickly.  I'd LOVE to be done with diapers!

Nate found out this last week that he will be at Jim Hill full-time next fall!  We are so excited.  He may also be able to have his own classroom, which would be a huge blessing.  (now he has a cart that he takes around from room to room)  Now we are just praying that the right job comes up for this summer.  

OH, we got a new car!  This last month we had a snow storm and Nate hit a curb with the Honda.  It would have cost around $4,000 to fix, so we bought a new one.  We found a 2005 civic with only 50,000 miles!  We are really happy with it.  It is actually pretty roomy and gets fantastic gas mileage. We felt really blessed to have found it so quickly.  It was just what we were looking for.  

I'm done with my training / orientation at work.  I've had 2 deliveries on my own and they have gone pretty smoothly.  I'm adjusting to the differences and slowly starting to feel more comfortable.  It's so crazy how much has changed in the last 3 months.  I feel so blessed when I look back and see all the wonderful people God brought into our lives and how He worked everything out with our move. 

Well Laundry is calling my name.  It just never seems to end, does it?
