Still Alive!
Well, after a year I have finally decided to write another blog post! I can't promise much more than that, though. Here's the big stuff that has happened in the last year.
1. On January 4 2012, we welcomed baby Lily into our family. She is perfect in every way and we are so glad to have her. Her big brother adores her and she adores him too.
2. I started working again. About three months after I got laid off, my boss called and offered me my job back. I took it, because I love that job. So I've been back at work full time since July, minus my 12-week maternity leave. It actually worked out really well for me--I had horrific morning sickness the whole time I was laid off and I don't know how I would have worked through it.
3. My sweet Jack is two, and is not always so sweet. But even during the worst tantrums, I can't stay mad at that little boy. He says the funniest things. It is so entertaining to see how his mind works and catch a glimpse of what he is thinking. I'm always amazed by the things he picks up from people around him. When I'm surprised by something he says, I can usually trace it back to something Derek or I say regularly, but not always. Some examples: -after his absolute favorite treat of chocolate milk, he sets his cup down and exclaims "that's deLICious chocolate milk" (he says that with lots of foods, but is particularly enthusiastic about chocolate milk)-the other day I told him we were going to the zoo, and he replied "that's fanTASTic! See tigers!"-when Lily is crying, he asks "what's the matter, Lily? Hug and kiss" then gives her a hug and kiss. When she stops crying, he says "Lily not sad anymore. Lily happy"-I could go on all day, but I will spare you.
4. Derek is almost done with this phase of medical school. He is taking his board exam in June, and after that he will start rotations in the hospital. Meaning that he is done with sitting in a classroom and studying 24/7 forever. We can't wait. We chose to stay in Erie for rotations since I already have a job here (other options were at various towns in PA and Ohio). So two more years in Erie we will be. Until I can find a peaceful moment with Derek to help me figure out how to upload pictures onto the iPad, this post will remain pictureless. Sorry for the boringness.
