As the market continues to be slow, so does our rehab part of the business. We branched out and are now helping people with loan modifications and credit card resolution. Real happy about this as in these times, they are needed. So, I have done marketing, setting up websites, calling, posting, etc... You name it I think I done it. And now I need something to keep me busy but in the same time not take away my time from what I need to do for this business.
I started looking for a PT job. HAHAHA...Yeah I just want to do something to keep me busy and make a few bucks. I didn't think I would ever be told. "Umm your over qualified", or "Why do you want to do this job? You know what it pays right?"
Well enough of work. Now the fun part!!! Let's see, Masen turned 2 on Aug 12th and Jax turned 5mo on the 30th of Oct. (time flies!) But what was the highlight this past month was I got to take my grandson's over the weekend as Jess and Nick had a party to attend. This was the first time watching them both at the same time, overnight! They were great! But boy, do I give kudos to Jess and Nick. As I had Kevin helping me. Nick and Jess do this by themselves when the other is busy working or doing chores!
But I can't express the joy these two boys give me. Because we don't get to see them very often, we miss them like crazy and it's such a GREAT feeling that Masen feels the same! He now is giving the BEST Masen BEAR hugs! You can feel the love and sincerity behind this little boys hugs! He now has is calling me "Grmm" instead of "Mamma" which sounded too much like "Mama." And how is it fair that he learned to say "Papa" first and clear as a bell? ;-)
Because we don't have a crib or travel bed. Masen usually sleeps with Grandma and Papa. Well, being that four would be a bit tight, I took Jaxson into the spare room and Papa and Masen slept in our bed. It happened to be the night of thunderstorms and Masen woke up stirring, perched up in the the dark on all fours, put his forehead up against Papa's, looked him straight into his eyes then grabbed his neck and put his arm around Papa and fell asleep sharing Papa's pillow. Awww, I wish I saw that! but just as cute the next morning, as Kev retold me the story with a smile so big on his face and his heart bursting. He loves his grandson ;-)
Jaxson is so much like his brother, but has his own personality. He's the only baby I know that instead of crying from being startled by the cold butt wipe while getting his diaper changed, actually starts to giggle and laugh just before I wipe his little behind! It's so adorable. He knows it's coming and just starts giggling. Then so happy he is dry and clean. He is developing into his own little person and I just love it!

I'm asked all the time if Masen is jealous of his little brother. I have never seen such love come from a sibling that is so young, and having it show so purely and so heart felt.
As I drove the two boys from Roseville, which is a 1 1/2 hour drive. They both did so great. As we got real close to home, Jaxson started to wine a little. I looked into my rear view mirror to glance at Masen reaching over and comforting his little brother. Holding his hand and saying "Jax, Jax." Reassuring his brother that he was there and all is ok. Masen also helps me feed Jax his bottle with so much concern, making sure the milk is getting into his tummy. His eyes never leaving Jax's face while feeding him. Sooo cute. Jess tells me Masen is like this always with Jax. I'm getting a lump in my throat as I type...
In conclusion, after that weekend, I want to try my best for our business to work out. As I spent so much time working I missed a lot of family time the first go around. I want to be here for my family when then need me! Or is it, I need them? Yeah, ok a little bit!
