Well the New Year has brought a pretty big change to our household. Paul recently got a new job and will be working from home! Yep, you heard it right, he will be working from home. This new position will have a home office. He will be traveling some, and I'm sure is already looking forward to that ;) We are both very excited for this change! The new job is with a great company and will be a fantastic opportunity for him and for our family.
Paul traveled all of last week for training. The girls and I had a super busy week by ourselves. We kept busy, but were sure ready for daddy to be home by Friday evening!
We are technically only on our 4th day of the working from home part and I must say so far, so good. The only thing I have had to deal with is "Mommy, why can't I go work in the basement with daddy?" about a hundred times per day. Ella is used to being able to help Paul when it comes to fixing things and "working" around the house. It is difficult to explain the difference of that and working at a job to a three year old. It has been exceptionally nice to have the morning and early evening help with the girls. Paul used to travel 45 minutes to and from work each day so having that extra time with him has been nice.
Since I have no photos to go along with my post, and not that I will ever probably have photos of Paul working from home, I decided to post some recent phone photos! There are a lot of them since I was constantly taking photos to send Paul of the girls while he was gone. Enjoy!
 |
| This is of Hailee and was actually taken right before Christmas. I've started putting H&H on the potty to get used to it. Neither has gone yet, but they sure do love sitting there! |
 |
| Hannah was in a zone. Still sleepy I think. |
 |
| Hannah in a Cinderella dress, with a chef apron and hat, and sunglasses. You just never know what you'll get around here! |
 |
| Ella's first haircut! Yep, first haircut at 3 years old. She did great and loved it! |
 |
| While daddy is gone, the girls will play (or shop). Doesn't get much better than shopping at Target and eating cake pops :) Ella made this crown in school and didn't take it off for two days straight. |
 |
| One evening I took the girls for frozen yogurt and met a friend and her son. Hailee decided to finish off her and Hannah's yogurt. Love this photo of her! |
 |
| Every.single.morning H&H stand at the toaster, pointing and yelling until their waffles are done. It's really relaxing and comforting (insert sarcasm). |
 |
| Hailee all of a sudden loves getting her photo taken. I tried to get this one just of Ella to send to Paul. Hailee ran right in front and gave a big cheese. Notice the crown was out again this morning. |
 |
| Sweet, lovely little Hannah. My easy baby (for this week anyways). |
 |
| Big smiles before school! |
 |
| Hailee was reading this little book to her baby doll. It was one of the top 10 cutest things I'd ever seen. |
 |
| They have their own way of playing in tents. This was an early birthday gift for them from a friend of mine and has been a huge hit! |
 |
| The Band. Hannah singing into a baby doll bottle, Ella playing the guitar, and Hailee was the backup dancer. |
 |
| It was so nice one afternoon last week that we got out for a walk! So fun! |
 |
| You can't watch Sofia the First (a new Disney show that Ella LOVES) without all of your princesses lined up next to you! |
 |
| Another photo bomb by Hailee. I tried to get this picture of Hannah pretending to sleep in Ella's bed. Hailee jumped right in and gave me a huge cheese. Good thing she's cute ;) |
