We started out this month praying very heavily for a job that Jerrod was interviewing for at MMA (where I work). We ended up the month on vacation in Florida. Jerrod did get the job and started a week before we left on vacation. We are now co-workers. God is so good! We have been in constant prayer for about 6 months now. Even though we did not have a study stream of second income, God definately provided for us. And we are super happy now that we will once again be a double income family :) The popular question seems to be: "What are you doing with Emma?" Grandma will be watching her mostly for the month of May and then Brittany, one of our super cool chics in the youth group, will be watching her some in the summer to give Grandma a break. Brittany watched Emma when she was really small and Emma has a special relationship with her because of that. I'm going to work at 5:30 am and coming home at 12:30 pm and then working one hour at home in the afternooons. Grandma has to go to work at 1:30pm, so I had to change my hours, plus I wanted to be able to put Emma down for a nap. I am sooo thankful for such a cool workplace that is so flexible and lets me work whatever hours I want.
We were super blessed by friends of Jerrod's mom and were offered a condo on Siesta Key Beach (Sarasota, FL) for FREE! Plane tickets were super cheap and it actually was cheaper to fly than to drive. Grandma and Grandpa went along with us and we all had a super great time! Here's a video of her playing with the shells.
Emma loved playing in the sand on the beach and swimming in the pool. I think she learned to talk better this week. She is saying tons of words and for the most part, we can understand her. She even is saying some sentences. This morning Jerrod heard her on the monitor saying: "Mommmy, Daddy, I'm up!" We took so many cute pictures and videos. I wanted to post all of them, but there just isn't enough space! You can check out our pictures on our shutterfly link over on the left though. We went to a place called Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger and Jerrod and his brother Chris ate the pounder. If you eat the pounder, you get your picture on the wall with this huge cheeseburger!
Here's a video of Emma and Daddy in the swimming pool.
This was before vacation, but I thought it was really a cute video of her dancing with her baby.
