Spring Break and More -

Here is an update on the happenings around the Hinckley House -

Spring Break was last week. We really wanted to have some fun with our kids but all we really ended up doing was spending a day at amazing Jakes. The kids really liked it though and had fun. The rest of the week everybody took a day getting the flu! Addi took Tuesday night, David Wednesday, Jackson Thurday and Miles Friday. I puked everynight because the sound/smell! What an eventful week. David was home most of the week and it was good for him to have some down time before he started his new job.

David's last day at EY was Friday - he had some mixed emotions about leaving. He really did like his job and especially the people he worked with. We feel however, that this new job will bring lots of opportunity. Probably the biggest reason for the move was travel. David was gone all of January and most of February and we saw no end in sight. His new job at Lockton Dunning will require some travel but mostly day trips to see clients in places like Austin or Houston. We couldn't beat that more money - no travel - sign us up!

Baseball season has begun and David has taken on the task of coaching both boys' teams! He didn't actually mean to do this but the director of T-ball really likes him and convinced him to coach Jackson's team because they were short coaches. Miles is playing coach pitch so it should be a grueling season of watching kids strike out! Jackson is actually playing up - He is only 4 and should have spent another year in PeeWee but we thought he could handle it. He actually is one of the better kids on the team of 5 and 6 year olds.

Addison is currently potty training. It is amazing what a pair of "princess shoes" can do. I bought a pack of princess shoes. It has four pairs - one Cinderella, one Snow White, one Belle, and one Sleeping Beauty. Plus a bag of $1 princess things from Michaels. She only earns the shoes when she goes number 2 - she has earned 2 so far but seems to have caught on. It would be really nice to go a few months without buying diapers. The sad thing is I should have done this a long time ago she was ready - mom was lazy.

As for me - I am completely miserable. No one really wants to be around me including me. I am hoping that the sickness does let up but when I do feel good I just have major anxiety that something is wrong. It will be nice when I can feel the baby and know that he is well! Next appointment is Monday the 30th - she is having me do another sono just because the sono picks the heartbeat up so fast and I won't have to worry about he trying to find it with the doppler but after the sono she still wants to find it with the doppler. Hopefully everything is still good.

Here are a few pictures from the last little while. Some are from Amazing Jakes, some from Jackson's singing program at school (which he actually sang) and others are just random!
