I know its about time!

So things in the Searls household have been a little crazy lately. I went back to work full time on June 1st and have been struggling trying to balance the limited time I have with Ethan and trying to keep a semi clean house and not eat mac n cheese everynight for dinner. Ethan is doing great adjusting to our crazy schedule and we are so blessed that we have such a good little boy. Before I went back to work Ethan was struggling with eating without getting fussy if the conditions werent exactly as he wanted them, but ever since I went back to work he has been such a great eater. I am still nursing him and pumping while I am at work, I have a 30 minute lunch and have to run and get Ethan from Aunt Halee, feed him then take him to Jason who is waking up from the few hours of sleep he gets after working night shift, then try and grab a somewhat decent lunch so I can keep up my milk supply, then run back to work and try not to have my boss yell at me for being a couple minutes late. Its an exhausting routine, but as long as Ethan is still happy it is worth all the sacrifice it takes. So needless to say I have struggled to find time to blog, so here is about a month's worth of pictures in one post. I will try to do better next month!

He is our smiley boy, and hes getting so chubby!

He can make the funniest faces

This is how daddy sits with his son..he is very creative

He gives the most angelic looks sometimes

Ethan loves his Bedste
(my mom)

When he sleeps he sleeps through anything. So far he has slept a total of two nights for 8 hours, most other nights its an average of about 5 to 6 hours.

My family came up for Ethan's blessing, I think they get a little bit of culture shock everytime they come to Holbrook.

The whole crowd all there to support us and to be there for Ethans blessing, it was a beautiful day, we had a big BBQ with everyone after church, it was so nice to have everyone there.

I dont know why I love this picture, it just makes me laugh!

Jason and his little boy on his blessing day

You can tell it was a stressful day for me, my hair tells it all. Not only did we have everyone in town for Ethans big day, we also had to speak in church!

Such a proud dad!



Ethan has been such a talker lately, he will sit and talk and oooh and aaaw forever, I love it. He is especially sweet in the mornings when he wakes up, so I brought him into bed with me and took a video of our sweet little man. Ive even been able to get him to laugh a few times, but have yet to get it caught on camera!
