We're still here!

I know it's been awhile! We're doing well. Mom's gone home, I've gone back to work, and the kids are LOVING their new babysitter. After three TERRIBLE interviews, I was beginning to really panic about childcare. But I found a woman who lives only a few minutes from my office, and has kids Lucy's age. She is FANTASTIC and I feel so blessed to have found her. On my days off, Lucy actually asks if she can go to Erin's, ha ha!
I recently got a big promotion at work! I'm taking my boss's position when she leaves in September. So I'm the new Development Director, in charge of Public Relations, Grant Writing, Fundraising, and Event Planning. I also sit on several community and government councils for stragetic planning to reduce homelessness in SLC. I love it! I've started training with the current director before she goes. She's been here 14 years, so I've got some big shoes to fill, and I'm a little scared, but very excited as well.
Ethan is growing so fast! He's a sweet baby and I love him more every day. Lucy is a wonderful big sister, and she is getting to the age where she says the funniest things! She is clearly getting into the "terrible two's", but she's still just a little tender heart, so I don't stay mad at her for very long.
These photos are kind of snippets of recent things (some more recent than others) that we've done, including a trip to the Hogle Zoo last weekend; a first for the kids and me!

Mixing cookies!

We repainted our room and let Lucy help

These are the biggest animals I've ever seen! Could not have been more excited!
