Been a busy week already, the inlaws left on Monday, my brother arrived Monday evening. I spent the day out w/ my brother and his family yesterday. Today is our first day w/out plans, and it’s nice!
Hopefully I can get Caleb into a schedule again. He is doing so well. He’s walking all by himself now. he can get to a standing postion w/out pulling up onto anything. He waves hello and says Hi sometimes but he is just getting the hang of the waving thing. It was nice having everyone around as he took his first steps and started waving hello. He’s just 9 1/2 months but he looks and acts like a 1 year old!
we talked to a counselor last night about our money problems, he seems to think we can afford to not have me work, it will take some strict budgetting and planning, but seems to think we will be okay. I am so excited! We could use a lump of money now to work on our car situation, but we know God will provide and somehow we will figure out what to do about the car. After talking to him I think both Dean and I felt a lot more hopeful about our financial situation. As a result of closing on the house we paid off our last school loan, so that was good. Now we just need to get rid of our credit card debt! Easier said than done! But if we focus on it we can take care of it a lot quicker.
My brother is doing so much better. He’s still having some trouble w/ his speech, but he sounds so much better than last week. His head hurts badly but that’s to be expected. It was a horrible scare he gave us, and it will be awhile before he’s back to his old self, but we are just glad he’s ok. Made us all think about how important seat belts and insurance are! Well, Caleb is finally napping and I should use that time wisely since it might be the only nap he takes, he’s so mobile and nosey it’s hard to get him to nap, but he was amazing and napped a lot throughout the craziness last week so he might do ok now that things are more normal around here.
