big changes

We have had a busy May. Ryan got a new job. He is still working for Providence but he moved to a different hospital (where I used to work) and he is now the lead therapist in the pediatric department. He started two weeks ago and is loving it! He is so excited to be working with kids again. I also got and started a new job. I am actually working at the same hospital as Ryan (where I used to work). I will be working on the floor I used to work on (cardiology) as well as a respiratory floor. I am per diem nurse which means I pick up shifts on days where the floors are short nurses (I will usually know in advance). I have to work a minimum of 4 shifts a months but can work more if I want. My first 5 weeks back will be full time as I am in orientation and re-orienting. So far it has been fun and is going really well.

Ryan and I started our jobs the same week. My mom came down the first week I started work to help watch Alex. Alex LOVED having her hear. They had a great time playing, running and chasing, going to the park and on walks, reading, taking baths....My dad came down that weekend to spend time with us too. Our friend Annie is watching Alex for the next several weeks. She has a 15 month old son (Robbie) who Alex loves to play with (we hear about "Raw" all the time). My mom and our friend Jane are also filling in on a couple of dates. Starting in July Alex will be going to daycare/preschool at St. Clare Church--2 blocks away (part-time). So far everything has gone really smoothly (thanks to help from many friends and family).
