Alex's New Bed, and other stuff

So we figured it was time Alex graduated to a "big girl" bed! We set it up a few weeks ago, but just decided Monday night to start putting her in it on a permanent basis. She LOVES her owl's so much! She has been doing pretty good actually. The first night it only took her about an hour to fall asleep, which by normal standards, is pretty darn good!

It was about one o'clock in the morning and Alicia wakes me up saying she is awake. I was half asleep and didn't know what was going on, until I heard our door shut and her run down the hallway! To be honest, it scared the crap out of me, not use to having someone run around the house in the middle of the night. Alex loves her bed and we have been very proud of her so far. She even takes her naps in there too and doesn't fuss too much

Earlier today, Alex told me that her baby needed a nap, so she went and turned her fan on, turned out the light and started rocking her baby, then she even started humming to her so she would fall asleep! It had to be the most adorable thing I have seen her do!

Search for new work has been frustrating. As most of you know, I was hired as a Clark County Deputy late last year, even had a start date, but about two weeks before I was to start their budget numbers came out and the County was WAY over budget, hence they couldn't hire me. However, I remain on the hiring list until December. In the meantime, I took the test for Skamania County Corrections/Communications, passed it with a number one ranking, then the oral board interviews came, passed that still in the number one position. You would think that would insure me getting the job, not so fast. One of the people in the Top Five with me has volunteered for a bit at the Sheriff's Office, so that puts me at a disadvantage, even with the high ranking. I am praying that I get the position, that way I can get out of the Casino. However, I am starting to realize it is not up to me, I have to put my Faith in Heavenly Father, and whatever happens, happens.

Alicia is doing well, working too much, but that is Alicia. Her back is killing her, but it seems that is only thing bad so far. Baby Boy is doing well, which we are all excited about and his due date is still in early August. Alex is excited for Baby Brother to be here. We will keep everyone updated as things go along.
