RACU, RPCU

After six years as an Intensive Care Unit Nurse I started a new job!

It's a brand new unit at a brand new hospital

They built a new hospital right next to the old ones and it's fancy

For some reason we thought the morgue was cool

My friend trying out the table :S

Grandma brought us some cookies. She is always bringing us yummy treats

We have also finally been able to go to church once again. Masks required.

David was sad for one whole minute and then had a great time at nursery

David is always ready to eat at grandma's house

Doug cooked dinner for mother's day. We had squash spaghetti. It was delicious! 

David was being a picky eater and didn't want to try anything out. That it until he had a little help from Papa

And Doug made strawberry shortcake for dessert

I have been so balanced lately and have really enjoyed having a routine every day. I have loved working out every day and making my body stronger.

Lilah found the party bin and decorated our house with party stuff because our Castillo cousins were coming over to visit

The kids wanted the blow-up jumper in the play room

And the adults ordered out some Mexican food and watched a movie

Another day, another workout

I have also enjoyed going on walks every day. Life is good right now

Baby David and I enjoy going to the library. I didn't know they were open yet because of COVID but we were able to go a couple of times before they closed down for the summer

David loves singing songs so he always likes music time the best.

We learned about apples this particular week so we got a bunch of books about apples

Lilah was sad that her cousins had left

Another day, another awesome workout. I love moving my body

More school activities with Lilah

Marcia watched David for me and Doug even made me breakfast before I left for work

I had spent the night at Marcia's house and totally forgot my work shoes. Mike is always there to save the day. Reminded me of my nursing school days. 

Training for the new job. 

This was supposed to be a before picture. All I have is before pictures on my phone, haha! 

Lilah always getting into stuff

I love David's smile

Another fun activity at the park

Lilah sharpied all over her walls and those N95s from COVID came in handy

I found these kids had jumped up on Mike's moped. I thought it was cute but also glad it didn't fall over

Yummy new snack. I love avocado toast and this has been a yummy alternative

When Lilah does an activity, she gets to post a picture on her school app to show her friends. 

Lilah sending me off to work

My coworker Lara

David thinks belly buttons are funny

My crew waving me off to work

David has been doing this when he doesn't get things his way. It's funny. Not sure where he got the shoulder-shrugging thing from. 

Trying to eat less meat and more veggies

David helping me clean the play house

This summer we have practically lived at the pool. The kids ask to go every single day.

David is always sad when we leave the pool

I decided to take the babies out on a hike. I have been working out a lot and was able to hold one kid (and sometimes 2) while we hiked our way up. 

It was Lilah's turn to be carried. It was a very steep hike!

David being a little trooper walking on our way down

Lilah drew a snowman. I thought it was pretty cute.

Lilah waiting for her ride to school. A van picks her up and drives her to and from school. It's great!

David loves his books.

David "Helping" me work out

I love the time I get to spend one on one with my little David

David and his love for pancakes. At least I add spinach so they're slightly nutritious

Sometimes David wants to wear hearing aids just like Lilah
