Ok. So I do still further promise to post more pictures. But for now;
Long long story short, we decided the best thing for our family and own personalities is for both of us to work part time, and be home with the boys 'part time'. So that way we both had our own independence (I'm just a little bit like that:)....) and that we were both enjoying our moments with the boys instead of feeling overwhealmed by them, or work, etc. So Trevor is just serving a few nights a week at Olive Garden. It's a great company to work for, and it's very flexible (which is great). I just (the beginning of January) started working for Kelly Services, which is a temporary job service agency. I'm loving it. It is fast paced and involves a lot of multi-tasking, and it is working with a katrillion different types of people every day. It is super busy, and lots to learn. I really like my co-workers, and I love the job itself, am fairly natural at a lot of it. I have a lot of training to do still, but have learned a lot by just being observant. I started out at 20 hours a week, and then they offered me full time. The boys were sick that same day they offered it to me... and I was so glad, because it helped me remember that I truly don't want to be gone from them that much (it's so hard to leave a sick kid that just wants to cuddle with you!). So I told them I could give them 26 (two 8 hour days and two 5 hour days). It's working out well, because I feel like I'm helping with what needs to be done with at work, but that I still get lots of time with my family.
Trevor's a better house-wife than me. He's amazing. He's got a whole routine going. He does dishes while the boys are eating breakfast, and very often has dinner made and on the table when I get home. (I struggled with even making the dinner...let alone by a certain time!!) The boys are absolutely loving having so much boy time (they come up with the wierdest, but cute, things to do during the day). Owen's been a little daddy's boy (which on one hand breaks my heart, and on the other hand fills me with joy). He won't even let me hold him sometimes unless Trevor's right there. But Cameron's been steadfast at being a momma's boy still, so at least one of them is thrilled to see me when I walk in the door (and runs up to me... I've always wanted that!!!)
And also, Trevor has started back to school. (That was another goal with us working part-time). He goes down on my days off. He's loving it, and high hopes to finish within the next few months. He is also working hard on our home business. Which we should be getting our business lisence within the next few weeks!!
Wow, that ended up being longer than planned. But, there you have it. All of Cameron and Owen's parents' changes. (My mom always told me that she hasn't had a name since she became a mom... just Seantae's mom). I do feel like that sometimes (which is a really cool feeling, really), but it's nice to work a little and feel like I'm just me too!

That is so exciting! I had the same type of job in Oregon and I absolutely LOVED it!!! I am so glad things are going well for you guys ~ you deserve it!
I'm so glad you know what you want and need and do it Seantae. That makes life so much more enjoyable. I'm so glad you are both getting time with those cuties too. That's great.
