Travel As many of you may know, I had Lasik surgery last July. The surgery went well, but I needed to go back for an enhancement on my right eye, so we decided to make it a trip. The trip was great. We flew and it was Olivia’s first flight so we were quite nervous to see how she would handle the flight. To our surprise, she was great. She barely cried and slept most of the time. We had a chance to see our closest friends. Spent time with both families. We stayed with Brian and Jen on Thursday night, which was very generous of them considering they were in the middle of moving (thank you). Got lost in the Fort Custer Maze in Clear Lake IA with the Broadway’s. And surprised my brother with an impromptu visitation on Tuesday morning. I told him we were coming the third week in June and he would be able to see Olivia at that time, all the mean while, we were planning to visit him on Tuesday. He was definitely surprised and we couldn’t have been happier for him to see his niece.

General Some people have asked what I am doing with my time so I thought I would share. Life has completely changed that is for sure. When I was working 40 hours a week outside of home I would almost always get off work before Andy and would sometimes complain about being bored. Wow that is never the case any longer. Now I feel like I am constantly running! I am doing all of the typically baby care items in addition to continuing to work for Valley Mental Health on a part time basis, doing some sales work for Andy’s boss, and babysitting once a week for 2 children. Every Tuesday is when I work for VMH and Olivia gets to come with me. I don’t always feel super productive, but it is really nice to get out of the house for the day and everyone loves seeing Olivia! I had to take a break from choir for a bit after Olivia was born in order to be able to feel her and put her to bed and now that I have starting going again it is just time for our summer break. I will miss that too but maybe by the time it starts back up again Olivia will be more patterned and maybe taking a bottle so that I can stay for the entire rehearsal. Andy and I are going to have our first date since mid March this weekend. We were thinking about going to a movie and dinner, but I think we will just go to the movie without Olivia and then take her with us to dinner. I am not sure I am ready to be away from her for more then a few hours, although she would probably do just fine without me. On a side note I do add new pictures under the photo section every couple of weeks, with the new photos at the bottom of the page:).
