Be careful what you wish for

So as most of you know Mike has been working a lot lately; I mean a lot! He was leaving around 7 in the morning and not getting home until around 9 at night. There was even a day when he stayed at my sisters house in Taylorsville because it was too late to come home and he needed to be at work so early the next morning anyway. He worked many Saturdays and even a couple of Sundays. It was awful and I was starting to have a rough time being a single mom. I was wishing constantly that I could spend more time with him and what do you know, Mike lost his job. Inadvertently now we get to spend tons of time together which is great, but the hard part is we are not sure how we are going to pay our bills if he doesn't find something soon (especially all of our medical bills we now have because of our beautiful little girl). He has had a few interviews so we are hopeful. We feel at peace with it, but just because you feel peaceful it doesn't mean that you will not suffer a little. Please keep us in your prayers. We could use all the help we can get!

What do you know, more pictures of Brielle!

So we went up to Mike's dad's house for conference weekend. He took some great pictures of Brielle and us so I thought I would post them. She has such a personality as you can see in these pictures. Believe me, she came with that personality from day 1. She is such a happy baby about 97% of the time. The other 3% I think she is in pain and that is why she fusses. She rarely cries unless she is really upset. We feel so blessed to have started with such a sweet baby. Maybe we will have more children! I love that baby so much!
