I can't remember if I blogged about it or not, but my Grandma died January 3rd. She had dementia the last 4-5 years, so in a way she's been "gone" for awhile, but now she is really gone. She was a wonderful woman who loved God and loved her family so much. Many a prayer and rosary I know she said for me as I lived with them on and off for 10 years as I went to college. Her funeral was beautiful and 36 out of 39 of her grandkids were able to come, and so many more great-grandbabies now, it was nice to see everyone. Including my own brother and sister who were able to make it. There was a brief window even where it was just me, Joel, and Elizabeth with no spouses and no kids, and it was nice to be 'just us' again for a bit.
January was a busy month for us.
Fell in love with this property, but coming to the realization it is very expensive to build, even a smaller house! So sadly this won't be happening for us this year. I even cried about it a little bit, it was a nice daydream.
However, staying in our home with it's affordable mortgage allows me to keep working part-time, and I do appreciate being able to be home this this little guy.
Who learned to walk in January!
peek a boo!
I've been doing an externship in the ER for my last class of my BSN and so August has had some extra babysitting days. This includes being dropped off at a friend's house and being essential boy #4 over there
My friend sent me this picture of her son's arm around August. Awwww!
And August turned 15 months, we had a check in with a growth specialist because he had fallen off the growth chart, and had some abnormal labs, but praise God everything is back within normal limits and the doctor said August is probably "just a late bloomer", that is a-ok!
I'm not very happy at my job lately, still understaffed and cycling through my patients feeling like I just toss their meds at them and run on to the next, no intrapersonal development at all, and I don't like that. So starting to look at some other options, we'll see, not seeing a lot out there.
Otherwise, life is feeling busy with school and everyday life, looking forward to spring and at least being done with school!
