I love my job

I am so lucky to have a job that I love. Sure, I've had lots of JOBS- starting at age 15 when I worked at the McDonald's drive-thru (laugh if you want- I got all the Happy Meal cookies I could eat!), and even had a few pretty "impressive" jobs- Army Captain, Enron, Hines....NOTHING compares to being a MOM. It's the BEST.

Here's a quick update on the kids:

Catherine is loving her life. She absolutely LOVES her school, and actually wakes up excited about it every single day. She's been riding in with a new friend every morning- she and Holly have hit it off, and her mom Simone is an angel from above to take her every morning (and spares me having to get all 3 of us out the door by 7:15!) I do the afternoon pickup, and it brightens my day to see Cate with such a smile on her face after such great school days. She loves to play with Ryan, and loves to color, play on the computer, practice her letters/numbers and dress up. She's still a hoot, with quite a sense of humor!

Ryan is still growing! He had more shots last Friday and weighed in at 11 lbs, 5 ounces. He is officially out of newborn-sized clothing and I'm so excited to start pulling out some of the super-cute outfits we've gotten as gifts- the child has a bigger wardrobe than me! He is working very hard on holding his own head up, and has been making it through the night with only 1 feeding. He loves to play on his activity mat, and already has some favorite toys to swing his wild arms at! He is also really recognizing me, Mike and Catherine, and flashes us all a huge grin when he's in the mood. My heart melts each and every time!
