What a couple weeks we've had. I started a full time job two weeks ago with Ada County Paramedics as a supply technician. I am amazed to say it, but I actually enjoy my job. This is the first job that I have ever had that I actually enjoy going to. The first week was hard because I missed Colin, Madison, and JR, but it's nice to feel like I am actually contributing to something other than arguing with a three year old all the time. Twice a week Madison and Colin go to a sitters house and they seem to be doing well and enjoy their time there. Mic has been staying Sunday nights with me to help with the kids since I have to go to work Monday morning. I really enjoy it because it helps me out a ton and it's nice to have somebody here also.

We just celebrated Thanksgiving with Mom, Dad, Mic, and Mark here at our house. We had a very enjoyable time with our family and so glad that Colin was here to complete our family. He is growing so much already. He slept through the night last week for the first time. Colin is also looking around a lot more and enjoying laying on his play mat some.

We have been at Grandma and Papa's house for the week introducing Colin to our friends and family.  We weren't able to see everybody that we wanted to, but hopefully we will be back soon.  While we have been here Madison was able to help Papa with some yard work.  Colin has done well, sleeping for most of the night except to nurse. Unfortunately, we have to head home tomorrow to get back to work.  I start a new full time job on Monday working for Ada County.

This was the first year that Madison went trick- or- treating. She did great, I think I had a harder time that she's growing up :) We went around our friends block and then to Aunt Mic's house and our neighborhood. Everybody thought she was an adorable witch and gave her extra candy. Colin went with us and slept through the entire thing, but he was a glow in the dark skeleton.

Funny things Madison has said lately

"when a woman says later she means never" Madison told me this in the bath today
Ba Jetta... what she calls our Jetta
Hundred woods... what she calls the woods
Tic Tocs.... this is what Madison calls tics
