New Job New Wheels

So I started a new job. It was kind of a miracle actually to get it. I was driving to the library and saw some signs outside a daycare hiring for preschool teachers. I stopped in to fill out an application and they gave me a tour and asked me to come back and interview. When I interviewed it was more of a job description...'will you work here' kinda of thing. So I'm working full time now as a preschool teacher. Linc goes to daycare in the other building but I get to nurse him still. 

The first couple days were very rough for both of us but they are getting better and better. Its tough working full time. I also feel a lot of disdain from other mothers for putting my son in daycare and working full time. BUT this is where my life is right now. We had hoped that I could stay home but due to medical bills its important that I work. Hopefully I'll work full time for a year and then we'll review our finances and see what happens.  

First Day of Daycare

We both crashed after a long day!

The daycare is only 2 miles from my house so we bought a bike for us to bike to work everyday. Gas is expensive here ($3.89/gallon). Lincoln loves bike rides. We've also been going on quick rides after bath every night this last week. So fun. 

We love our new bike. 

Happy Easter

Lincoln did not like the Easter Bunny at all. 

He first met the Bunny at Once Upon a Child. My co-worker, Ryan, dressed up. Lincoln has never had an issues with strangers or anything so I was shocked when he legitimately freaked out when I placed him in Ryan's lap. You can totally see how worried he is in this picture.  

The Village did a big Easter Egg hunt and the Bunny came to this one as well. Linc still freaked out with him. As you can see from the pictures below. 

(Climb the Mommy Mountain. QUICK!)

So the Village egg hunt was very well organized. It was separated into sections based on age so every kid would have a good chance of finding their eggs. The babies got a kiddie pool full of 'grass'. Linc loved playing with it and trying to eat it.

Swinging Baby

 We couldn't be more excited at the idea of going outside and playing in the sun. So far Lincoln likes the grass. He mostly pulls at it. He loves the swing!

I'm so excited for the weather to keep getting warmer so we can explore more.

 Twinners! 

Looks like we need to get Linc some shades :)
