What a fun 4th of July, though it turned out very differently than planned. I was supposed to work, but luckily when I got there, we didn't have enough patients so I got to go home and go back to sleep. Brad and I spent to afternoon cleaning and rearranging the downstairs, we finally got our new media center put together and I LOVE it! We were going to go to Tom Brown to watch the fireworks, but Raelee started running a fever again and was acting very puny, so we invited Brad's parents over to our house instead. We had yummy jelly hot dogs and watermelon and cupcakes. Then we did our own fireworks outside and then watched a movie. The not so fun part was waking up at 5:30am to vomit in Rae's crib from earlier in the night. The cupcakes were not so pretty to see a second time. Her crib looked like a blue smurf had been squished, Yuck! Raelee's still running a fever today, so no beach for us tomorrow. Hopefully she'll start feeling better soon. Sick babies are so sad.

     It's been pretty low key in the Wonsch household lately. I'm trying to get used to working part time. It's been AWESOME, but after I'm off for a few days, I start having ~~nightmares~~ dreams about work. My body thinks I should be there more I guess. Let me just say that our Heavenly Father is AMAZING. I was able to go part-time finally because we were able to get our health insurance through Brad's job. Well the plan was to cut back my hours towards the beginning of 2011, buuuttt my boss was let go, and my dept's kinda been in limbo the last few months. Finally I was told that I could go part-time. It was going to be a little bit of a pay cut for me, but soooo worth it to be home more and have less stress in my life. Well the week before I went part-time, the hospital gave all the part-time staff raises. It's a set amount that you make regardless of how long you've been an employee, in this job status everyone makes the same. I guess they haven't had a raise in a super long time, so I came on board right in time. Now I work less, but am bringing home more moola than I was when I was working full time. How awesome is that?!!!
     Raelee started nursery last Sunday and loved it!!! Her friend Stokes is in there with her, so I think that made her comfortable. Once she saw him and books, she was good to go! I think it was harder for Brad and I to leave her then for her to be left lol. She's growing so fast it's crazy. She's talking so much now. She's repeat words back. She'll sing songs with me now, it's so cute. She can do an awesome crying baby for "wheels on the bus". If you ask her how old she is, she'll hold up one finger and smile. A family friend gave her a doll, not really the kind you play with, but Raelee LOVES her! Evey morning this week, she wakes up and asks for her baby. She's a good mommy.
     I'm excited for next week. I have a friend that I haven't seen in FOREVER that I get to go visit. AND we're going to visit at the beach which is even better! I can't wait to see her little girls and catch up.
