A new Job

So, I was looking on craigslist.org one day while TJ was napping (I was bored), and came across a posting for a preschool teacher needed at a local daycare here in Haughton. I curiously sent in my resume just to see if anything would come of it. Keep in mind I was not looking for a job, I didn't need one. The next day I got a phone call to set up a time that was good for me to go in and be interviewed. I went, just for kicks, 2 days later and was interviewed for about an hour. I had to bring TJ with me and figured they wouldn't mind since they are a daycare and he would have to be in the daycare while I worked, if I were to get the job. Halfway through all of the questioning, the daycare owner came in the office I was being interviewed in and asked if I would be willing to teach the infant/toddler room instead of the preschool room since they had already hired a preschool teacher. I, of course, said yes. They finished questioning me and then I was shown around the facility. I was offered the job on the spot right there and they wanted me to start the next morning! How cool is that?! So now I work at a daycare Monday thru Friday, full time, and get to teach the class that TJ is in! I am so blessed :D

Family Pictures

When we went to Katy, TX for the Easter weekend we had our family pictures taken by a high school classmate, Kayta Fagan. She did an awesome job! Here are some of my favorites...

Wow, it has been a really long time since I have posted anything, so I owe you a huge update!

Here is everything that has been going on in our lives...

On January 19, 2011, our beautiful baby boy was born in Katy, Texas. He was 8 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 inches long. Here is Tyler James Flanagan, aka TJ:

His smile lights up my world :D

Tyler got a new job in Louisiana in the oil business. At the end of February we packed up and moved from Katy, Texas to Haughton, LA. It is about 4.5 hours away from Katy. We really love it here!

I love putting TJ in his cute little man outfits...

We went to the Pierre Bossier Mall, one of the malls in the Shreveport area, so that TJ could take a picture with the Easter Bunny! He didn't know where to look and was staring at the ceiling so the photographer had me stand on the side of him so I could make him smile. That is why he is looking to the side.

For Easter, we went to Katy and stayed with Tyler's parents. We had a good time there and finally got to have family pictures taken. (I will add these pics to the next posting.) TJ got in the pool for the first time. At first he was screaming, I don't blame him, it was even too cold for me! But after a few minutes he just decided to tolerate it - he didn't like it, but wasn't crying. He and Ty are so cute together :)

TJ likes to sit in his Bumbo. It helps him sit up without being held. The only bad thing is that his chunky legs get stuck in the leg holes LOL. Poor little guy.

TJ is now big enough to play in his Exersaucer. He like to bounce in it but his little arms can't reach the toys yet haha.

This next picture was taken about 3 minutes after the picture above. This cracks me up LOL!

And this is TJ now. He is growing up so fast! I cannot believe he is already 4 months old!

Side note: At 3 and a half months, TJ was 16 pounds and 25 inches long!
