Quite a bit has been going on, so here's an update.
Mike finished his first semester of grad school with all A's, woohoo!
He also found a summer job, which is a great blessing. He'll start in the next week or so, so we're enjoying our time with Dad home.
Oliver has been getting faster and faster at scooting and has now started crawling in small spurts. I haven't been able to catch it on camera yet, but as soon as I can I'll let you know!

| This little move makes mom and dad nervous... |
Almost caught the crawling...

I know it looks like he never actually plays IN the walker, but he does. He's getting very good at getting around in the walker now, too! He can get into the kitchen without hitting any walls, and he can get over the threshold into the bedroom and check out the closet on the other side of the room.
I've been excited about my workout routine I started several weeks ago. It includes workouts and mixes in cardio days. On the cardio days I decided to start running, and have a great running friend I meet with once a week. She's so sweet and we have fun running together. She inspires me to try to push myself further, which is great. I also have a friend I'm doing the workouts with online. We check-in with each other every day and see how our workouts are going, since she's in the West. It's been so helpful to have her by my side, too! What a great way to stay motivated!
I had a request for some pictures of our apartment and the complex and such, so here is where we live...
Our Apartment
 |
| The living room... Please excuse the box, it was Oliver's pretend car for a couple days. :) |
 |
| The rest of the living room. We love our couch, we found it at a garage sale when we got here, yay! |
 | ||
| Oliver's Space |
Even though space is tight in our apartment, we wanted Oliver to have his own little area where he could play and where his things would go. He loves playing here, although he also loves to be wherever mom and dad are.
 |
| The desk. One half is Mike's, one half is mine. |
 |
| Our Kitchen |
 |
| The dining area, and a cutie scooting through... |
 |
| The bedroom. I haven't really decorated in here, but I do have a plan for it sometime soon. |
 |
| This is the front of our complex. |
 |
| The pool. We haven't gone swimming in it yet, but Oliver is getting so he really loves water. I think he's going to like swimming this summer. |
Hopefully, this gives you a feel for where we live. I'll try to get some pictures of the city and such, so you can see some more. Enjoy your week!
