At almost 7 months, Braden's daddy is still, hands down, the most hilarious person the little man has ever met (yeah, I'm still trying to figure it out as well!) While part of me is a little disappointed that I don't have the same effect on my son, I do get a little choked up every time I think about the special bond they share, and the wonderful father my husband is. Brett never complains about any of the many errands he runs for us, despite his 90 minute commute to and from work each day. He is truly an amazing father and husband.
As Braden continues to reach many milestones, he is about to embark on another one--his first airplane ride! I am a little nervous but excited as well. We will be leaving 2 weeks from today to travel to San Antonio to visit Brett's extended family, and San Diego for our first family vacation. We are SO excited for Braden to meet his great grandparents in Texas, and think it will be particularly special for them to meet him. And I absolutely cannot wait to take my son to see the many sights in San Diego, including introducing him to the pool for the first time! I am absolutely determined to teach my child to swim as early as possible (mostly for peace of mind, but also for a little bit of selfish pride). Afterall, he is 50% Patterson, so it would be an injustice for him not to know how to swim. The warm weather (we hope!) will be a much needed change for us as well!
Work is going well for both of us- Brett just got put on a new project that is keeping him busy, and things are starting to pick up for us around the bank so my decision to not transfer was probably for the best! One new change for me is that I decided to finally go back to school to get my teaching degree this June! I know, timing is probably not the best with all of the budget cuts right now, but I am hoping by the time I'm done, things will have turned around. I will continue to work full time until fall of 2011 when I will be doing my student teaching. Brett and I are both very excited for me to finally be working toward what I really want to do in life!
Well, enough of the novel, just thought I'd catch everyone up! Gotta get the little man up from his nap now!
I'll update again soon!
