Jocelyn is getting SO big it's not even funny. She has her own personality and it
amuses all of us! She has started eating baby food and likes it part of the time. She is sitting up pretty well with a little help, soon she will be able to all by herself. She goes nuts if we do not let her stand, she loves to stand! She amazes herself with all the things she is learning to do. Grandma Allison watches her during the day while Charles is at work and she enjoys that too. She is teething though right now, which is not much fun for any of us! We tried orajel last night and I'm not entirely sure she liked that :) but seemed to help her sleep. Videos will be up soon.Charles is hoping to get hired on at his job he has been working since Decemeber. He seems to like his job and he always has new stories to tell. I am not sure how he does what he does because most people I know could not do it! I am very proud of him! He also gets a lot of on-calls which brings in a lot of extra money once it is all said and done. It's hard planning anything or going anywhere since if he does get called he must be there in a matter of minutes but it's worth it in the end. As for me, I am praying enough people retire that I will be able to keep my job for the time being. My last day is supposed to be in May but we will see what the good Lord has in store!
We are trying to figure out housing arrangements right now, there is no possible way to fit all of us in a 1 bedroom for much longer, we already do a lot of shuffling of things whenever we have to get anything new. We are not sure what is the best decision, apartments for 2 bedrooms are costly and we are not sure how long I will have my job, it could be May or if things work out maybe longer. If May is my last day we will have a hard time affording a 2 bedroom, and I still have to somehow pay student loans. Even with looking for apartments based on income it is still going to be costly for us. We were looking buying a very very inexpensive house, basically anything would be a definite fixer upper, then monthly costs would be a lot lower and I could still pay loans. It's hard to know what to do. Pray we make the best decision!
