Hey everyone! We are still alive.. for the most part anyways! Life has been kind of crazy lately getting settled into our new routine. Some of you know that Darren was offered a job at Gossners, which is the place we were hoping for him to get a job in the first place way back in December, go figure. He started almost 2 weeks ago and has been training so far. We are very grateful for the job and have had an interesting time adjusting to the differant life style. Darren works from Midnight to 8 am. Rough huh?! He is amazing... I don't know how he does it! Then he comes home in time to eat breakfast with us and goes to bed from 9 am to 5 pm. It has been interesting for sure. Tray doesn't quite understand why Papa is locked in the room all day long. He likes to call up the stairs for him or goes and knocks on our bedroom door yelling for his dad to let him in lol. For the most part it has been working really well tho. Its weird sleeping alone again after sleeping next to someone for a couple years. My feet get REALLY cold these days without my human furnace next to me. Tray and I have had to come up with some new things to do while Papa is sleeping so we don't wake him up. We have been building forts, coloring, playing dress up, dancing, playing kitchen.. Tray is at a really fun age where he loves to pretend. He loves to "cook" and even "tastes" his food to see if it's done lol He is learning to talk a lot and loves to be heard. Especially when it comes to food it seems.. These Anderson boys love their food. Tray's current favorite words are apple, Nana (banana) cheese, drink, food, more, popsicle,Yum-yum... I swear he is hungry all the time lol Today we will be making some peanut butter play dough and seeing how he likes that. It should be fun!
Another fun update for us that we are SO excited about.. Tray is now going to nursury!! Hooray!! Its fantastic and he LOVES it. He's just coming up on 17 months so he's not technically old enough but he does great in there and they love having him. This will be his third week in there and oh we just love it. Grown ups sure get excited about lame things huh? lol
Anyways, we're not too exciting but I thought I'd post a little update. Until next time!

mmmm! Gossners chocolate milk boxes are the BEST! Its hard to have daddy home and he cant be played with. Rich sometimes sleeps during the day because he worked so late the night before and its HARD to keep him quiet and away from the door. :( I'm glad you found some stuff to keep him busy with! You're a great mom!
