Henderson Update

Figured it was time for another update. Things are going great around here and we're LOVING this spring weather. 

Marley is really enjoying spending time outside, and is quite the walker now. She is very sure on her feet and is getting fast! 

Since she turned one we have taken her off formula and she has two bottles of milk a day. In between those bottles she has 3 meals in the high chair. Its been an adventure getting her to try new foods, but luckily she LOVES protein so I at least feel like she's not starving. 

Her favorite foods are:

Cheesy hot dogs

Turkey

Ham

Sausage links

Chicken

Fruit leather (Gerber style)

String cheese

Veggie straws

and Cinnamon toast crunch 

Its funny, right when we took Marlene off formula she decided that she only needs one nap a day. We didn't have to try and force her or anything, which was nice. She's started taking a little longer nap in the early afternoon and is fine the rest of the day. She usually gets grumpy around 4-ish, and that has become snack time! 

Jason is still in school and working at Olive Garden. Working as a server there has been great, just a little unreliable money-wise and so he is looking for a new job. Tips are great in the summer, but we realized this past fall when things slowed down it would be better to have a set income.

I'm still spending most of my time at home with Marlene, and just working two days a week at TJ Maxx. They are really great about working around Jason's schedule and understanding about my limited availability. 

This past week we made a big decision, and got a new car! My old one died back in October and since then we have been sharing a car that I couldn't drive. (I did learn how to drive his car, but then it started snowing and I didn't feel comfortable.) Jason's car is a stick shift with no air conditioner, so we knew before it got too hot outside we needed a new one.

After our bad experiences with KSL, we decided we wanted to get a reliable car from a reliable person. We didn't want to invest in something that would need a lot of work later on and end up costing more in the long run.

 After months of being stranded at home while Jason is at work or school, I now have my freedom back! I can't wait for all the adventures Marlene and I will have this summer. I'm thinking lots of trips to visit Jason's parents and her cousins, trips to the zoo, 7 Peaks, and so many more possibilities. 

And we also get to drive this awesome car to Disneyland in 14 weeks!
