*It's been really cold this month so the boys and I have spent a lot of time just hanging out at home. We're definitely ready for the spring weather so we can go outside again! The boys grow more stir crazy each day!

*Brandon started his 2nd new job yesterday. (This job will be a permanent part-time job for the rest of law school while his other one at the FCC is an internship that will be over in April). His new job is working in the Air Force General Counsel's Office at the Pentagon! He showed me his badges last night, one of them has a barcode that apparently stores all his identification information, including his fingerprint. I find that just a bit creepy! I told him that if he ever commits a crime, he's in the system now and he can't get away with it! ;-) This new job is quite a change for him, he can't work from home or wear jeans and a t-shirt to the office anymore. But he's very excited about it and I'm excited that he'll have more regular hours, get Metro benefits and, of course, government healthcare again! Yesss!!!!

*The boys have been continuing to learn new words and combine two words together more often. Slowly and steadily, they're making progress!

*Jack broke the DVD player last week when he pulled the television off the shelf. Thankfully the TV is really small and didn't hurt either of them. Also that they didn't actually break the TV because we can't afford to replace that. The cords that were connecting the TV and DVD player broke off and somehow the DVD player was damaged during all this. So you know what that means... no Thomas the Train videos for over a week now! There's always a silver lining!

*Brandon and I babysat our friends' 4 month old baby on Saturday night. It was a lot of fun to have a little baby around again but, over the course of the evening, we must have looked at each other and said "I'm so glad we don't have another baby right now" over a dozen times. Haha, no baby fever for us!
