Change is Inevitable

For those of you that know me, you know how much I dislike change, and how bad I am at dealing with it! But I guess these days God is making sure that I experience enough change in my life in order to make myself okay with it!

For starters, Nick got a new job. It is a great thing for Nick and for the rest of us! It will mean more money (and me not having to go back to work), plus the millions of perks that come with the job. The only drawback will be that Nick will be travelling 1-2 nights during the week. So, it's probably a good thing that we are living with my parents, so that I will have a little help to start off with. He starts on Monday, and is very excited!

Then, I cannot believe my little girl will be turning 3 this weekend! I still call her "peanut" to this day because she was born at a meager 4 pounds 12 ounces. I literally feel like I just had her...where did the time go?!? Lately, I have been feeling very bad for her and all of her visits to TX. Children's. The latest is that she went to see a motility specialist..don't ask, but still don't really have any answers to her 3 year long reflux problem. They ran a lot of tests, and we will see what comes from that.

So, wish me well with all these changes that are happening, and maybe in the future I won't get so stricken with anxiety when things change all over again!!

My Super Swimmer

Last summer, at the end of the season we had finally gotten Sophie to jump off the diving board. Then starting off this summer she was reluctant and ever did it. For some reason today, when we got in the pool she decided that that was all she wanted to do! She didn't count or anything, like she normally does before jumping. Then, after doing this about15 times she swam to me and said, "Mommy, I think I'm very tired." Too cute.

Sophie's New Room

We have finally gotten things settled into my parents house, and this is Sophie's new room. It's much bigger than her old room, and she loves it! Currently there are workers outside her room everyday promptly at 7:30am, so she doesn't like that much. She wakes up and comes in our room to say "Mommy, the workers were too loud and they woke me up too early!" Poor thing, but they will be finished soon!

Her favorite chair and her books

Her bed....I feel like she's outgrowing it a bit, big girl bed here we come!!

Costa Rica

We are finally getting back into the swing of things are being in Costa Rica for 5 days for my sister's wedding. We had a great time without the kids, but missed them a lot everyday! We stayed in a beautiful house in Costa Rica with the rest of the bridal party, and Nick and I shared a room with my recently married cousin Carly and her husband Chad. We had a lot of fun spending time with them, and even conquered a fear with them on the zip lines! I'm not big on heights...but after a couple zip lines it got much easier. We also enjoyed my sister's wedding on the beach, although monsoon winds came through, it was a beautiful and fun wedding!

Here are just a few pics from the trip.

Nick and I at a restaurant that had the BEST food!

Nick and I at the rehearsal dinner...what a great view!

After the wedding, crazy wind=wild hair!

Just one of the 5 iguanas that waited on our doorstep in the mornings. They backed off once we fed them some fruit!
