I can't believe Joseph is 6 months old already! In someways it seems like he has been part of our lives forever, but I also still feel really strange that he is MY son. He is teething now I think, at least he acts like it. He chews on anything and everything and seems more fussy then usual which is saying something! He can almost sit up by himself, he just tips over when he is trying to reach for things. He can also get on all fours, but still isn't ready to start crawling just yet. We tried to feed him sweet potatoes the other day, Joseph is not a fan. At first I thought it was looking good, but after a couple bites he started gagging on it.. So we will give it another try in a couple days.
James is heading out to go racing this week! I wish I could be there to see him race, or at least watch it on t.v. but speed doesn't show it for a week AFTER the race! Still I am happy James gets to go out and race. He gets to show his talent and enjoy being in a race car again. Work situation for him is about the same, just trying to figure a way to make it through this year. We are feeling alot of stress at the moment, but hopefully things will get better soon! I think we are both ready to have a break from the work load and just chill out with family and friends. July Can't come soon enough!

Fun for the Family
June has already started out interesting! Joseph is doing really well. No problems, just eating foods! Loves his bananas and peaches. He is still more interested in drinking water from a cup and will grab it out of your hands as soon as he sees the cup. I can't believe he is almost 6 months already. It has flown by and while I am excited to see all of his "firsts" I miss him being a cuddly baby! Joseph is sleeping really well at night, in his own room. Nap times are still an issue for us. He hates taking naps and wont stay sleeping for long periods of time. Still it has gotten better.
This year we had an interesting surprise at James work. They want him to go back to contract. That news would have been wonderful, had it happened 3 months ago when we WANTED it to happen. What that means for us is that we have to save up enough money during the summer months to then get us through the winter. Since we have missed the last 3 months of summer work we are now going to have a very stressful year trying to keep money saved up. Lucky for me I have a summer job that I am able to help out a little bit and stay at home. Not sure what I am going to do when the job ends, and we still need money. Lots of stress for both of us figuring out money, bills, insurance, and setting up the business. All of it costs money! I think once we get through this year though, it will be the best thing for us. James can travel if he wants to, work when he wants to and hopefully get to race! He is excited to get to race a little bit this year, and I am glad he has it to give him some fun time. That is our news update!
