Oly adventures and awesome news!

Hey there- we are here in oly WA and enjoying sometime with family and friends.
Flying alone with Ezra was great. He was such a little trooper and it helped that the seat next to me was empty so he had some room to play. We arrived tuesday a week ago and then had our appointment at seattle children's on friday. My dear friend karen offered to give us a ride up there so I could entertain ezra which turned out to be a huge blessing since it took us 3 hours to get home in traffic which is normally a 1 hour drive. We arrived there an hour before our appointment and grabbed some lunch really quick.

After check in at the hospital I was quite nervous but once the nurse called ezra's name I was just glad to get some answers. We have been worried about his flatspot (plagiocephaly) since birth. The nurse was funny and quirky which made me feel comfortable immediately- yay for awesome nurses!!
They took all of ezra's statuses which were 66.71cm/ 26.26 in for his height (44.7%), 9.72kg/21.34lbs weight  (99%) and 45.8cm/18.03 inch head circumference (98.8%) needless to say he is a BIG boy! Future quarterback anyone? ?
The doctor came in and looked at him  and asked me a few questions and then told me that at this point his flatspot won't affect his eyesight or hearing or do any other damage to him other than being a cosmetic eyesore (if you can even call that because I think ezra is pretty perfect!) Which means he won't need the helmet!! I was so relieved and happy to hear that. She suggested to keep on doing physiotherapy to help both with his torticollis and plagiocephaly and then we were good to go. I called Tj right away to share the good news and couldn't stop smiling all day long! 

On the way back we stopped at the cheesecake factory to escape the horrible traffic for a while and so ezra could get out of the carseat and nurse.
I'm so proud of him for being such a good sport all that day it just made the day even more perfect.

Other than that we did some baby shopping at the carter's outlet here in centralia since ezra is once again outgrowing his clothes, spent sometime with my friends elise and kiah and have been enjoying all the daylight we have been getting here compared to juneau. Most of all we have been missing Tj terribly. We are flying home on the 6th so we still have a few days left and are patiently waiting for elise's baby girl to arrive. I'm so grateful that we will get to see her before we leave. I'll add some pictures once we get home and I have a laptop available. That's it for now:)

Working momma over here!

Hey there. I have started work at the gallery I interviewed for and it is actually a lot of fun. I only work every other evening from 4-6 right now and every other saturday till summer will start and I will work longer hours. It is a lot of fun getting to know my co-workers, talking to costumers and learning the ropes of working in a retail store. Ezra cried pretty hard the first time I left him with his new babysitter. It made me sad since I had fun going to work and getting some me time. Last Monday I left him with my friend kristen who has a 10 month and 4 year old and he was happy there. I'm sure it just takes him some time to get adjusted and I know it is so good for him to play with those other kiddos. Yesterday was a super fun family day for us. Tj was off work so we went to the pool for the first time with Ezra and he had an absolute blast. Pool trips are definitely on our monthly activity list now. We had the missionaries from our church over for lunch and at 4 I had to l

Flying with little kids 2.0...

When you think of flying ALONE (!!!) with two kids under the age of 5 and not only for a quick trip to a few states over but to let's say...Switzerland halfway across the world do you get sweaty palms, maybe a little bit heavier breathing and just feel a little claustrophobic all around? I know I do!! This december I'll be flying for the second time this year to Switzerland with an 18 month old and 4 year old all by myself. (We visited there in february/ march this year for 7 weeks). Last time we flew I only flew the way there by myself, so I had the reassurance that if that trip was a disaster, my dad would at least be there with me on the way home to help out. This time it will be just me and the kids both ways. Both trips there and back ended up going fairly well last time, although I had to drag both kids and all our carry on luggage clear across one of Europe's biggest and busiest Airports (Frankfurt) without a stroller since they checked it clear to Switzerland an

Cherish the now

Today I had my usual wake up. At least somewhat usual I woke up to ezra snuggling next to me nudging to get out of bed and getting our day started. I stumbled over the toys that were scattered all over the living room floor as I was caring ezra to his room to get him changed. My feet were sticking a little bit to my way too dirty kitchen floor as I sat ezra on his just as dirty highchair looking for a knife in between all the dirty dishes to get him some breakfast ready. Bottom line is my whole family including me make a mess faster than I can clean it up and that is exhausting and frustrating sometime. But than a thought passed through my mind that made me so sad that I cheered up immediately. One day I will wake up to a laundry basket that is only half full instead of overflowing since it is only me and Tj. One day I won't have tiny sticky fingerprints to wipe of my cabinets or at least not as much on a regular basis as now. One day I won't have a hungry baby wake me up anymo
