All kinds of stuff....

Well there's been a lot going on in the McMurtrie house the past 2 weeks. I started working. I'm loving my job, but it's A LOT of stuff. I hate getting home around 6pm and not having more time with Jack before we put him to bed but that makes our weekends all the more special. Jack is doing great at Ms. Liliane's FCC home. He really does have a good time there. Tom picks him up earlier on Tuesdays and Thursdays so they get in some daddy/son time. Anyway, so I started work last week then my parents flew in on Wednesday. Of course this trip was planned long before I started working and my timing is just perfect with this stuff. So they kept Jack on Thur. and Fri. We got dressed up and handed out candy for Halloween.




I was told to buy a TON of candy. That was a lie! We had about 20 kids and that was it. Those kids really made out at our house. I had about 20 lbs of candy. ARGH! Back to my parents....with them being here Jacks is being spoiled rotten. They bought him a little quad power wheel. I can't believe the age on this thing was 12-36 months. It took him a while to figure out what it was and that it moved with the touch of a button but he actually rides this thing....


So my parents are traveling around Napa Valley and San Fran this week and coming back to us on Friday. They're here for the weekend then they fly out on Monday. It's great having family around. Especially with Jack. This past weekend Jack had his first haircut. I can't believe how much a hair cut could change a little boy. He was baby going in and now he's my little man. He looks so grown up now. He did great too. Squirmed a little, but was cooperative to say the least.






We also drove 17 mile drive again. My dad is a golfer and I think he teared up when he saw the 18th hole at Pebble Beach. It was cool to see him so excited. Of course my parents brought the rain and cold with them but we still had good time!




So with starting work and my parent's visiting and trying to figure out our new schedule there was something else that came into the mix. Like I said before my timing is perfect. This something else is pretty big news. We found out this news a week after I got my job. Tom and I are expecting our 2nd kiddo. That's right. We're pregnant. Holy crap! Hahahaha. We're really excited. I've told my boss at work and he was beyond happy and supportive. He actually told me that if they would have known before, they still would have hired me. That made me feel much better. I was very nervous to tell my boss. Here I am starting this crazy job trying to prove myself and I'm pregnant. Everything works out though. Tom kept saying to me...."You work for CYS, I think they'll understand" Hahaha. I work with really great people. I am really enjoying the job. I miss Jack desperately but I know that day care is good for him too. Plus it will prep him for having a little brother or sister. :-) I'm only about 10 weeks along. I'm due the first week of June. Send happy preggo vibes our way.
Hope everyone is doing well out there! I'm going to try and blog as much as I can. Work is cramping my chances to blog. :-) Just a note, this blog is probably all over the place since I typed it while watching the election results, and I'm kinda sleepy. hahaha
Miss you all!

Oh Niki! I am thrilled, and I can't wait until Josh gets home from work to tell him. (I'd text him, but love to see his face when hears that news...and hear him say how it's proof that we need to have another one too since everyone is catching up.)

And Jack looks so handsome with his new do. It really is amazing what a difference a haircut makes on a boy.

On a different note, I had a dream about you last night. It was crazy. But it seems like everything is going so great for you guys I won't bother you with the details. :)

We miss you guys!
