Black Eye, the Zoo and a Split Lip......

So, things have been pretty evenful around our house. Or at least this past weekend. Cassidy had a little bit of an accident on Friday evening. She fell into her guard rail on her toddler bed, of course it was the corner of her eye that hit the hardest. She now has experienced her first black eye. Poor kid. Then on Sunday the family went to the Children's Zoo (first and probably only time this year). When we were there Cassidy had another incident. She was running towards Jared and I when another little boy (around 5ish) ran right into her and knocked her down on her back--on pavement. She bumped the back of her head pretty hard, but was alright after a few minutes. Pretty tough little one. The daycare director keeps telling us that she should have been our boy. Don't think so.....but she is pretty tough. Speaking of daycare, she took another spill today there, splitting her lip in the process. So, don't expect any pictures of her anytime in the near future (Kidding!).

Back to the zoo, it was a pretty good time. We were impressed with all of the changes/updates that have been done this past year. Seanna was not very thrilled about the peacocks that wanted to walk up to her though. And she was not excited about seeing the gibbons (thru the glass) up close either. But she did like the turtles, butterflies and of course, the mole rats (as usual). Cassidy on the other hand was pretty excited about all of the animals. She really had a good time (until her accident of course).

I had another interview last week, and heard back 3 days later that I did not get the position. I am about ready to give up on my job search. It is very frustrating when all of the openings require 3 years experience. How do you get that if no one is willing to hire you?

Jared is taking most of this week off, mainly to work on the porch. We can now go out the front door, and it is only Monday! Should be a good week for working on it since it is going to be pretty cool outside.

That is pretty much all that is happening with us.

Long weekend without a lot of Labor......

Well, it was an enjoyable weekend for our family. We had a good time with the Gill family watching the Huskers win against Louisiana Tech. After the game we all went to the NE State Fair. Seanna got to ride some of the midway rides and she had a BLAST!! She was even brave enough to ride the big ferris wheel. She came running up to Jared when the ride was over, saying "I DID IT!". And in case you were wondering, it was that big one, the one that is about 6 stories high. So, the turning strawberry and flying elephant were nothing compared to that ferris wheel. Unfortunately, we did not have our camera with us to get photos of the joyful expressions she had while one the rides or afterwards. Cassidy didn't miss out on the fun, just didn't get to have as much. She chose a duck out of the water and got a medium sized prize. She then to go play "run from mom & dad", one of the most enjoyable games for toddlers.

Jared got a little more work done on the porch~there are boards there now to walk on. Looks good and should look great when it is all done. Now he has the dilemma of how to put the supports back. Since he build the floor up a little, the old supports are too long. So, we are not going to raise the roof, but just trim down the old supports. He is doing pretty good since this is his project alone. Makes me sooo proud. Well, another week has begun and I have a couple of candid shots of the girls to share this time. Although, they weren't really in the mood to be photographed when I took them (keep that in mind when you see them).
