Times are changing around our house, and I'm not even talking about the impending arrival of a newborn.  Yesterday, Travis resigned from his job and started with a new financial company.  It was a move he had been contemplating (or should I say obsessing over/driving himself crazy over) for a while, and after countless conversations, thought, and prayers he decided to go for it.  Not knowing a whole lot about his business world, I personally think the new company will be a lot better fit for him.  He has always tried swing for the fences (hence, he is the homerun champ on Wii Sports) and this place will allow him to do that.  His old company was a great landing place for him for a while and I know he met a lot of great advisors that he really respects and learned a lot from during his time there.  The only negative thing about this opportunity coming now is the timing since the little guy could be here any day!  He will have to work lots of extra hours to try to get his new business up and running, but he still says he will keep his promise of taking a week off when I have the baby.  We'll see about that!  We are excited to see where this new chapter in his career will take us (it at least got us a trip to Boca Raton this summer!) and I am so proud of him for landing an awesome opportunity!

Since I last posted, we have weathered Harry's first stomach flu!  He was such a trooper he didn't even feel the need to notify us that he had vomited all over his crib and the floor, and instead decided to just fall asleep in it and deal with it later.  Thank goodness Travis was still awake and smelled the awfulness coming from his room.  We got him up, cleaned him and his room up and the second I put him back in his crib, he threw up all over it again.  That earned him a free pass out of daycare for a few days and a day home with mom!  Considering he's 21 months old and I had yet to use a sick day to take care of him, I was more than happy to do so!

That same week, we also got all new living room furniture and a kitchen table!  I'm telling you, when I nest, I go all out!  At least I didn't figure out a way to get a new room added on to our house this time!  After taking a few hours to get it arranged just right, we absolutely love it!  My favorite part may be the kitchen table!  It is so fun being able to sit together for all of our meals!  We used to use the bar and wheel Harry's highchair up to it.  Now we get to look at each other and have real conversations!  Harry is also really into playing with his Backyardigans figurine and he loves to crawl up on one of the chairs and play with them on the table.  We have recently had some battles over him crawling on top of the table, but all in all it was a great purchase!  I just hope we don't spend this much money with each additional kid!!
