Cute pictures of the kids from March

Christopher really likes to sit with Jessica and play with her. Jessica just adores Christopher and loves it any time he talks to her. Here they are just sitting together on the chair.

Here's Christopher...he says "Here is me, laughing like a ton. Here is me happy."

Jessica sitting on the couch.

Jessica wondering....did I forget to turn off the coffee pot?

Christopher at the park on Easter Sunday. He is trying out various model poses. He's thinking of calling this one 'Blue Steel'

Jessica and I at the park on Easter Sunday.

My brother Jeff, the cowboy.

Jessica thinks maybe she wants to be a cowgirl...then again, maybe not.

Jessica hanging out on the couch...she is training to be a couch couscous.

Easter Pics

Here are some pictures of Christopher when we dyed Easter eggs. He had a blast and didn't make too much of a mess. We had a kit that let us make tie-dyed eggs.

Here are some of the finished eggs.

These are pictures of Christopher on Easter morning when he was finding the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid for him. He had so much fun looking for them and was super excited every time he found one.

Here is a picture of Jessica on Easter morning, sitting on the couch playing with the toys the Easter Bunny gave her.

Riding bikes, feeding ducks, and a few others

Jessica sitting her in highchair, trying to figure out why Matt is taking pictures of her instead of letting her just eat.

Jessica sitting up all by herself and playing with her toys.

Christopher all bundled up in a blanket one morning because he said he was cold.

Christopher riding his bike that he got for Christmas...

We stopped to feed some ducks on one particular bike ride. This was a couple weeks ago.

More bike riding...

More feeding ducks...

Jessica gets to ride in her stroller while Christopher rides his bike. She is pretty happy with that arrangement.

Video of Christopher singing

Here is a video of Christopher singing some songs. As you can see, he doesn't quite remember the words to them but makes it up as he goes along. So cute! He is also jumping around on the cushions from the couch (which he takes off and puts into piles to jump on), one of his favorite things to do. The video is kind of dark, which makes it hard to see him, but you can at least hear him. :) Enjoy!

Random video of Christopher

Here is a random video of Christopher. I thought it would be fun for people who haven't seen him in a really long time (and for people who have never met him). It's not the best sample of what he is really like, but it's the best I have on video. He likes to look at himself on the screen on the video camera, so many times I just get video of him making goofy faces and funny sounds. This video is from the middle of February. (Edited to add: I know it looks like a video of Jessica at first, but then it's just Christopher.)

WAHOO!!

I got the Boise internship! Yay!! What a relief! It's at the Warm Springs Counseling Center and Training Institute which is run by the Idaho Children's Home Society. The Children's Home Society is celebrating 100 years this summer and has been in the paper a lot the past week. I'll be working primarily with children and adolescents, but may have an occasional adult client too. I'll be doing assessment, individual therapy, and group therapy. The place is awesome and I'm so excited! The internship starts in August and will go for a full year.

I Matched!

Yay! I Matched!! That means that I definitely got an internship. What a relief! If I hadn't Matched I would have had to go through this whole application process again next year.

I won't know WHERE I matched until Monday. The only thing I know at this point is that it is one of the 6 sites that I ranked. So it's either Boise, Salt Lake City (there were 2 sites there), Spokane, Moscow Idaho, or Reno.
