Here's what's happened since November...

Here's a super quick, down and dirty account of what's been happening since I last updated! I'll probably make some posts expanding more on many of these events soon.

We added a new family member the week before Thanksgiving - no, not the one we were expecting to add in March! A sweet kitty cat had been hanging around for weeks, and we finally decided to put in the effort to see if she had an owner. So, long story short, she no longer had an owner, and we decided to adopt her!

We arrived in Minnesota on November 27, just five days after adding the cat to the family.

Trevor interviewed at his Dream Air Line on December 7, and received a job offer. There was a voicemail from the realtor when he turned his phone on after the interview. We had a full price offer on our house!

We spent 10 days in North Dakota for Christmas.

Trevor received his official class date with Dream Air Line on January 19 - the same day we closed on the sale of our house in Georgia.

Just like with Hudson, I woke up on the morning of my due date leaking amniotic fluid. And just like with Hudson, it was a long, slow labor that last into the early morning hours the next day. Unlike with Hudson, though, I was given oxytocin and ended up pushing for just a few minutes, not the three hours I had to spend pushing Hudson out! Porter arrived on March 8 at 6:23 am. At 12:30 pm that day, we closed on the purchase of our house in Minnesota! We've spent the last few weeks adjusting to be being a family of four people and three cats in a new house. Porter is a perfect baby who nurses well and sleeps wonderfully!

On April 2, Trevor began his career at Dream Air Line! He will spend two weeks in the classroom, have about 3 weeks off, and then spend a month in simulators and flight training devices before doing some real training flights. I've got a lot of fantastic help lined up for this time.

Today, Hudson is hanging out with his grandparents, so it's just Porter, me, and our cats! I'm taking a little time to do what I enjoy before I start cleaning up the disaster area that Hudson has created over the past few days!
