What have we been doing?

The time is just flying by lately. Jaxon has already been with us for 3 months. I can't believe it! Jaxon had a check up recently and he was at 13 lbs. I don't remember what his head size was but I do remember that it was in the 60th percentile. That's a big head!

My sister Melanie came for a visit on Mother's Day weekend. She took some really great pictures of Jaxon and Levi. Levi, as usual, was not cooperative when we wanted to do a family picture. I think I am just going to have to wait until Levi is 15 to get a good family picture. He just wants to run around and play and not sit still long enough for a decent shot. Here are just a few of the shots Melanie got.

I did have a good Mother's Day. Matt bought me a sewing machine. Word of advice: Always be careful what you say around your husband. The Thursday before Mother's Day I told Matt I would like to learn how to sew. I would start out making something simple like pillows or curtains. I told Matt maybe I could take a class. Friday when Matt got off of work he went and got a sewing machine for me. Thanks to my mom and believe it or not my dad, they showed me how to thread the machine. I sewed a pair of Matt's shorts the other day and I think I did a pretty good job for a beginner. Also, Matt took care of the kids and I was able to get a much needed 3 hour nap. It was glorious!

This last weekend we switched Levi over from his crib to a "big boy" bed. We were expecting the worse. Simply b/c we have had such issues with Levi sleeping. So we were prepared for a miserable weekend of no sleep. But to our surprise Levi went right to sleep and he really likes his new bed. He hasn't fought anything. Now every morning he comes into our room and wakes us up. It was cute the first time but now I'm getting annoyed. I'm not a morning person and hearing Levi ask over and over again for a sippy cup is not how I want to wake up. Oh well...at least he is sleeping. Next up....potty training!!

Matt had a job interview down in Austin. We were able to go and see my sister Melanie and visit our wonderful friends Trever and Jenna. Gosh, we miss Trever and Jenna! They are just so fun to hang with. Matt had 3 interviews with this company. We found out just yesterday that he did not get the job. Basically, it all came down to money. This company was starting up a new wellness program and it was just not in their budget to pay Matt what we were asking. But Matt was their top pick. It was nice to know that he was at the top of the list but we just couldn't move for what they wanted to pay this position. We figure it's just not the right time for us to move.

We look forward to summer and spending lots of time outside. Hopefully we may be able to get away somewhere this year.
