Lots of New Posts!

I have had a minute to sit down and blog (yes, I know I should be studying!) so I wanted to post about all the things that have been going on in our lives! The first post is Move and a Blessing! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Easter!

Tom had to work the day of Easter, so the Easter Bunny made sure everything was ready for his lunch when he was able to come home. We talked to the Easter Bunny and let him know that Jaycee can't have candy, obviously, and we let him know that we weren't quite sure what he should bring her. He told us to leave it up to him, cause he knew just the things! Jaycee got a My First Book of Mormon, which she loves to read every night, and The Children's Songbook CD's, which she loves to listen to. We thought this was perfect because it would teach her more about our Savior, whom Easter was all about! This was also a very special Easter because we were able to listen to General Conference! I loved this Conference because it seemed as though EVERY talk was directed straight at me! It made me really feel of the Lord's love for me individually!

Jaycee is starting to learn to hold on to things! It is exciting as a parent to watch her learn and grow!

Jaycee gives very good kisses, although they are getting a bit slobbery! :-) The doctor told us she is teething, which Mom especially is not looking forward to!! (Ouch!)

While all of our family was here for the move and Jaycee's blessing, I wanted to go get professional family pictures done. Hope you enjoy!

The whole family!

As many of you know, Tom's dad passed away when he was 14! I have never had the pleasure of meeting this great man, but I look forward to that someday! I do feel like I know him though and that is a great comfort to me! I believe very strongly that Jaycee still remembers her Grandpa and other family members who have passed away! It was neat, especially for Tom, to take Jaycee out to the cemetary where her Grandpa is buried. We were able to do this the same Sunday that Jaycee was blessed because it happened to be Jeff's birthday! That day will always be special for 2 reasons now! I think it is neat that she was able to be blessed on his birthday!

Move and a Blessing!

So, March 26-27 we moved into a new apartment! Our other apartment was home, but it was time to move on! I am doing a class to do Medical Transcription from home so I can be with Jaycee more and still be bringing in money. They apt we moved to is setup in a way that I can have my office in the main area of the house so it's not in a back bedroom. We like the new place and are excited to be part of the ward! They seem really nice!

March 28 Jaycee was blessed! Her daddy did the blessing and did an amazing job! There were so many family members and friends there to support us and we really appreciate it! Our parents and siblings helped us do a luncheon after at Auntie Melinda's apt clubhouse and it was so nice! Lots of people brought salads that were so yummy! It was truly a great day!!
