BOY OH BOY!!!

Well, it is official. Our instincts were correct. We are having another BOY!!! We are so thrilled that Duncan will have a little brother and that they will grow up so close in age. I started to wonder if my "motherly" instincts were correct since I realized I had told almost everyone that I was "sure" I was having a boy. The pregnancy has just been too similar to be any different. Everything is going well. He is a healthy little boy and growing right on schedule.

On another note, we have a lot of changes that have gone on in the last few weeks. I started a new job as a Real Estate agent with Moreland Properties. The opportunity came to me right at a time in my life where I was so happy with where I was. I got to work from home and be a stay at home mom with a little help here and there. I felt like I finally had a really good routine and not having to work as many nights and weekends to get the work done. Duncan was going to start Mother's Day Out in the fall to give me a little break with the new one on the way. All was good. Then I got an opportunity that doesn't come around every day. Not only can I be more help financially, but this job will also get me in front of clients looking to build custom homes - and I know the BEST builder in town :) What could be better than marketing our business all while making some money!?

Even though I knew I had to jump at this opportunity, it came with a very emotional and HUGE decision. I would have to start Duncan in full time day care. After a LOT of tears, prayers, and going through a TON of schools to find just the right place.....fast forward to today.......

Duncan started his first day of preschool at Children's Courtyard Circle C. This is us in the parking lot (tears didn't come until I got back in the car). Thank goodness he doesn't have any seperation anxieties because he didn't care that we were leaving - he was having too much fun looking around at the new toys and new people. That made it a lot easier to leave.

Matt has also continued to stay busy, busy. In March, he finished up the custom home he has been working on over the last year. He did such an amazing job and we are up for some awards in this year's Home Builder's Association awards. check out the pictures on the website www.shoberghomes.com. He has a few large additions/remodels he is working on now and about to start a few large outdoor living areas. He is really doing an amazing job as the company owner/operator as well as construction manager/superintendent.

Our lives are so blessed!
