Hawaiian shirt day

This is Justin's favorite shirt of the week. He wore it on Tuesday and I washed it yesterday, he found it in the laundry as I was folding this morning and insisted on wearing it today. He for some reason loves Hawaiian shirts.

Sporting Grandma Paula's hat that mommy keeps on the shelf...

Crockpot Tortellini Soup

The recipe

So, I found this recipe online the other day and it is supper easy to make and really good. Todd thought adding Chicken would be a good addition as well. I have been eating on it for 3 days now...so good. - hope the link worked.

a few shots.

These two photo's were taken on Justin's Bday...I think he might be a future window installer?

This morning Justin and I ventured to the store for 2 items....well....after a slight detour through the clearance isle...we found a few things. One of them was a drill that works..he is currently napping with it. He didn't want to let go of it. It was only $3 - pretty good deal I thought.

Todd's search

In response to the anonymous commenter....yes, Todd plans to stay where he is until we definitely have a job or job(s) set in stone. I even wonder if we both shouldn't work just to make sure if one of us did get laid off, we would have a backup. So far, I have applied to jobs and not gotten one interview...I thought I might at least for the last 2 jobs I applied for. Many places are only offering PT work right now...I think to not have to pay for benefits...

Nothing new

Well, I don't have any new news to report. Feel like I should blog. We kept busy on Saturday doing our grocery shopping, etc. Sunday was a lazy day around here. I didn't even do the laundry...

Today, Justin and I went to playgroup and we don't have any plans all week long. No new news on the house either. I try my best to keep it clean..yes, I clean every single day...at least the house looks nice for us, but the routine gets old...Justin has been a trooper and helps me out too. He doesn't seem to mind his neurotic mother cleaning every day. Todd still continues to work with his Dad and continues to look for work.

I am looking as well, but not as fervently as he is, as I am expecting and not sure they would hire me anyway. I know, legally they can't discriminate, but there are always ways to make it look greener for someone else.

back home seemed to be the best a week ago, until I called about health insurance, and that kicked it out the door, at least until after the baby comes....the transfer rates are insane!

2 year doc appt

Justin had his 2 year doctor appt yesterday. He weighed in at 29.6 pounds and 33 inches long. Didn't get %'s, but I am sure they are high. He didn't want to take his clothes off..as I am sure he knew he was going to get a shot...didn't help that I had to wake him up to go inside...he fell asleep about 20 minutes before we got there.

Luckily he fell asleep on the way home, so I hung out in the car for over and hour and let him sleep. I knew if I tried to transfer him, he would wake up...so I read my Readers Digest (thank you Oma)....from cover to cover.

baby update

Well, I am 13 weeks along and I had my 2nd doc appt today. All is well. Justin tagged along with me and was a champ. The doctor's nurse wants to arrange a marriage with her 2.5 year old. We heard the heartbeat...all seems well.
