That Was a Close One...

So our car got broken into last night. It wasn't our "newer" car, but good old "gloria" as I named her a few years ago. You see, we got to church a few minutes early and our neighbor came up to us and asked, "Did your car get broke into last night? Ours did." He said that he saw some papers on our car seat this morning when he was getting into his car. His spair pair of glasses, car insurance form, and some other stuff were stolen.

Tim raced home before church started to see if our old car "gloria" had been violated by some evil doer too. Well, Tim found our neighbors car insurance form on our seat and that our $10 Wal-mart CD player with Tim's favorite CD and tape adapter had been swiped.

This is a first for us. We have never had our car broke into before. We are just so grateful that nothing else was stolen... Like our car.

You just never know what can happen. We had no idea that this happened last night. Thank heavens for neighbors who are on-the-ball. The police came and we hope to hear that this so called, "evil-doer" will be caught and have to give us back our CD player. We will continue keeping our doors locked and never keep anything of value in our car. Thank heavens it turned out as well as it did. It could have been a lot worse.

New Sleeping Record

Audrey slept from 8pm to 4am without waking up! This is a first for this little girl that loves to raz me out of bed about every hour or so. We stuffed, or rather she ate a lot of cereal right before going to sleep last night. She usually doesn't eat very much and spits the rest out. This shows me that our prayers really are answered. I have been praying a lot about how to get Audrey to sleep better at night and I think we may have just found the trick (I hope). Squash and multi-grain ceral mixed together. She loved it!

Cute new picts

Having fun with "da-da."

We got a miracle!!!

So, we have been really stressed trying to find a unit in the hospital that would hire Tim. It has been the strangest thing in the whole world because there just have not been very many openings, and when a new job is posted it is filled before they even contact Tim for an interview. Tim came to work at this hospital because they promised him that he could get straight into the ICU. That didn't happen.

Tim interviewed for a job in the critical care resource pool as kind of a last resort. The job works you in various critical care settings throughout the hospital. You only have to work one weekend a month and you have your schedule four weeks in advance! In the interview Tim asked if there was any possibility to work days because it would be very hard on our family life if he worked nights. The interviewer said that there were in fact some day positions available. Tim told him he was very interested.

At work today Tim got a call on his cell phone. He doesn't ever answer his phone at work because he is at work usually taking care of a patient. Well today, he felt like he should take the call, so he did. It was HR offering him the job. Yee-haw! HR told him that there was one day and one night position available and asked him which one he wanted. If he hadn't answered his phone then, I am sure the other person getting the job would have taken the day shifts. Who doesn't want to work days?

You know, I have left out many details, but we really feel like the Lord's hand has been in the whole process. Not just in getting the job. After the trial of your faith you reap the blessings. How grateful we are to have landed this job! It will really take a load off us (especially Tim). This really is a miracle the way all of this has panned out. It is amazing that a new grad RN got a day job. We are soooo blessed!

Audrey's first word...

Audrey said her first word yesterday. We were looking at the family picture and pointing to "Audrey" "ma-ma" and "da-da". It was "da-da." It was so cute and the only intelligible thing she has ever said. She is a complete daddy's-girl. I love the fact that she likes her daddy so much. For example, yesterday, she had a really hard day. She could seem to handle life. She cried and cried and whined and whined. I couldn't seem to help her out in any way (and I tried everything). The second "da-da" got home and started talking (not even to her necessarily) she calmed right down and started to smile and giggle. Then she gave him the sweetest look. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Also, both of her bottom teeth are through and visible. Goodbye toothless grin and hello the real word.

Sunday happenings

We are still getting used to the sights and sounds around our new place. This morning we have had an awesome fiesta going on across the parking lot. The bass is booming and the Spanish tunes a-blarring. It looks like they are having a good time. I wish I was invited to the party :)

It looks like Audrey's tooth is here to stay (we hope). I am not quite sure because she has tricked us before, but I think another one is on its way up. We will see on that one though. uyyu k,uugyfyfcf rhy hfgfho '
'lg Oh, that is Audrey saying "hi" to y'all. She loves to help me type.
