Things are going great! Curt has started his new job, and although it is a lot of driving he is really enjoying it. He just has to keep reminding himself that he is getting a good experience. I am still at home and absolutely love it! I watch our neighbor's baby 3 days a week. She is only 5 weeks older than Braxton, and can often times be a handful, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. It is hard to remember our life before Braxton, Curt and I love him so much, and enjoy what he brings to our home and family.
There is nothing better than being able to watch Braxton as he grows and learns so much. He started to eat some real food, and wow!!!! That kid come eat! He will end up being a chunk just like his mom was. He ate some cereal and a half a jar of sweet potatoes the first time I gave it to him. He would even start to cry if I didn't get it to him fast enought. He had been doing really well, sleeping 9 hours a night, but over the last couple of weeks he has decided to wake up in the night. Luckily he will eat and be back to sleep in 15 minutes, but still if there are any suggestions I would love to hear them. I think he might be teething to add to the problem. The last two nights he has woken up at random times just screaming. All in all he is doing pretty well.... at least I think so... I have nothing to compare him to.
Thus far we have only gotten out to a few drive in movies, and golfing a few times. However, we look forward to the warm weather, and free time (now that school is over) to be able to enjoy our summer! We hope all is well for everyone! We would love to hear from you!

We celebrated our first mother's day and Curt's birthday by getting a new truck! We are both excited about it, and look forward to having lots of fun and LOTS of room!

Update



Things have been so crazy for all of us lately. Curt has worked hard, and graduated on the 4th of May with his Construction Management degree. He also quit his job, and now works for a larger construction company as a field engineer. He started it on the 14th, and except for the longer commute is excited about the new adventure.
We also went on a vacation up to seattle to visit Joselyn's family. Braxton did wonderful on his first plane ride, and actually slept through just about all of it. It was fun to see his aunts, uncles, and cousins meet him for the first time. It was also his first time swimming, which we aren't sure if he liked or not. We loved being up there and having a chance to visit with everyone.
Curt and I were also able to get away just the two of us to celebrate our 4th anniversary. We went to the Olympic National Park and hiked to some hot springs as well as went to Hurricane Ridge. It was fun to get away, and all things considered I even did okay leaving Braxton overnight (although I'm not too anxious to do it again too soon).
We are looking forward to a fun summer with numerous trips in the planning stage. With neither of us in school and me not pregnant we are looking forward to some fun activities.
