First off a little over a month ago Chance got laid off from his job working excavation. To be honest it was actually quite a blessing! We have been praying for quite sometime about what to do with chances schooling. He was only going to school part time and at that rate he wouldnt finish school for like 10 years!!! But we were way too nervous to just live off student loans. So we thought maybe Chance could just get a part time job and go to school full time. But Chance really needs to focus all his attention on school to succeed! I told him i could get a job while he is home with Blake during the day/night. But he said no no no way! Which i am kind of glad because i dont think i could leave Blake! Well after much prayer Chance got layed off and then we found out he needs a minimum of 1000 hours of paid medical experience to get into PA school! So right now Chance is finishing this semester as we try to find him something in the medical field that is hopefully part time! Other than that he is loving being a stay at home dad! He is getting to know all of Blakes cute habits and fun things he does. He is definitely a lot closer with Blake now that he stays home. He is very thankful for that!
I have to say i could really get used to having Chance home! It is so much easier! I get a lot more sleep, breakfast in bed, bottles made, bottles cleaned and help with the cleaning! But on the other side........... It is different not having my special time with Blake anymore! Besides all that i feel like my life is pretty good right now! I have an awesome family who i love spending time with! I sometime get a little teary eyed before i go to sleep because i miss them like crazy! It is so bitter sweet living away from home! But i do have Chances family here to make things a little bit better! We have been spending a lot of time with Chances little brother and sister lately and i have to say i love it! We have a lot of fun! On Friday Chances sister Kylie and I went with my young women to the soup kitchen in SLC! It was such a great experience! I am so glad i get to take her to do things like that that will impact her life! My calling in young womens is great! the girls are full of energy and on the ball with everything!
As for Blake he is just so adorable! He is just loving life right now! He can sit up without falling over, learning to crawl and eating lots of yummy food! He is getting so big! He loves anything you put in his mouth! He is a very determined little boy. The other day he sat for over an hour playing with his favorite football. He would roll it out just far enough to where he could barley reach it and then he would try everything he could to get it back to him! So cute! He loves everyone! he gets passed around wherever we go and he loves it! He loves peoples faces. Anytime someone gets close to him he grabs their face and studies it! So dang cute. He still cannot stand bottles! We tried a sippy cup the other day and he loved it but gets the formula everywhere! Blake is very smart i think because he is so observant! He can stare forever at something without even blinking! He loves to sit and play with his toys, bath time, sleeping, talking, and most of all he loves to be talked to!
Pretty sure that Blake is the cutest boy ever! I loved everything about that post! Thanks for all the updates and all the yummy pictures! Love ya :)
ReplyDeleteI love his cute PJs!!!!!! And for some reason the picture of him eating a banana makes him looks so big, as in like a year old. Anywho, cute cute post!
