Just another day in Omaha

  Just a quick update. Aaron is studying hard, he says he is going to need a doughnut pillow because he is always sitting. I am liking my job as a L&D nurse. There are a lot of things to learn. It is nice working in a positive environment where the patients are relatively happy, especially after their epidurals. Brooklyn is making new friends everyday. There are a few little boys  who always are asking their parents about Brooklyn. Today the Bishop's wife said that her son Will keeps asking her when they can watch her again. Every time I see this little guy he comes running up to Brooklyn and tries to make her laugh. Max is doing well. I try to take him for lots of walks. There is a family here who loves Max. There are many families here that love Max, but on in particular who wants a Golden Retriever.  The mother of the family, Chalese, asked if she could take Max on walks while I was at work so Max wouldn't get lonely. 

  Omaha has a few fun things to do. I have asked some girls from work to make a list of must see things. There are lots of shopping areas, tons of restaurants, a zoo, children's museum, and botanical gardens. I want Brooklyn to do something interesting or fun everyday that I have off. We try to do something in the mornings because it is cooler. We went to the lauritzen gardens the other day. 

  The botanical gardens is just down the street from our place. It is within walking distance and lots of the mothers who live here go in the mornings when it is cool. Village Green sold the land for the gardens at a great price in return for free passes for it's members. It promptly closes at 5 and they have been known to lock people inside if they are not out before 5pm. My friend and I went on Thursday at 4:15. We sped walked the whole time we were there in fear of camping out for the night. We were able to get to the model train area. It is hard for me to take pictures of Brooklyn outside of her stroller, It is hard to hold the camera, hold her, make sure she doesn't grab the camera and take the picture. I am hoping to go again soon and will post more pictures. I just aimed my phone at Brooklyn and started snapping while the train went by. I wanted to get a few of her looking at the train and one of her face. 
   

   This is just another picture I took today, Brooklyn and I were bored so we went outside to swing. Lucky for us the playground is right outside our place. This will come in handy when Brooklyn gets a little bigger and play on the playground too. I also took this picture because she was wearing a cute outfit, I am not sure if you can see it very well. 
  More pictures to come! Love you guys and miss you!
