Been Busy!

Well, I've been meaning to post this for a while now. I've been pretty busy. I have started my new job and I'm really enjoying it! It's been three weeks now. I still feel really new. I'm working at Elkhart Dental Center as an assistant. I'm not really a dental assistant. I'm more of the assistant's assistant. I don't have any hands on patient responsiblities yet. I clean the operatories and the lab. I work in the sterilization area and have learned some perio charting. I've sat in for the hygiene assistants a couple of times. I work in the lab too. I make sure that the lab technition has everything he needs. I order supplies and teeth for the lab. I pour up and trim the models and I make bleaching trays. I really am enjoying it. The lab stuff has taken me a bit to learn. I'm just not that artistic with my hands.

Schy is doing great too! He got an A in his first class this summer. He's enjoying these next two. It's been so great to see him with the kids! I miss them so much now that I work full time! Knowing that they can be with him makes me feel a lot better about having to leave.

The kids are just enjoying themselves. They are getting big way too fast! I was enjoying my two weeks of unemployment. I love being at home with them, but it's time to get back to the real world. I hope to get some more recent pics up soon, but these are from a few weeks ago.

Ups and Downs

These past few weeks have been full of ups and downs. Schy had another trip to the hospital. He was only there a few days. They took him off one of his medications and he's feeling much better now. It is so wonderful!!! The kids and I have certainly enjoyed spending time with Dad.

Last week Wal-Mart let me go. I made a mistake cashing a check to the wrong person. It would normally just be a warning, but I had disciplinary action previously for attendance. (That in itself was pretty dumb. I had to miss work when Micah was in the ER twice, I had strep, I had the flu, and my babysitter canceled at the last minute.) Anyway, that would have been a year ago in July and I have only missed one day of work in the past year. If you ask any of my co-worker at Wal-Mart, they'd tell you that I'm one of the most dependable and hard working. But I guess that they did what that had to do. So... now I'm in search of a new job. It's gotten me going. I've put out lots of resumes and applied for many jobs. I just have to pray and have faith that something good will come of it.

Really though, Schy doing so much better has meant the world to our family. It more that makes up for loosing my job. We've had a great time with the kids. We've gone to the park and Schy's taken them on walks. It's just so wonderful I can't say enough.

The kids were having fun with the water table outside.

Micah's big snot bubble:)


Micah is "making eggs" with his peas. See how he taps them on the side to "crack the shell"
