tender mercies

did i mention that shane got a job offer at a local law firm? yep, he's now been a "legal assistant" at an employment law firm for two whole weeks now. talk about an ANSWER to PRAYER. (bonus: shane tells me a lawyer at the firm looks JUST LIKE steve carell, aka "michael" from "the office.")

while the new job definitely makes for a more hectic schedule (shane rarely sees christian when he's not just waking up or just going to bed), it's nice to commute into work together again. most mornings we spend about an hour wading through traffic together, which can make for some great conversations. sometimes it's the highest quality time we have together all day, since shane goes from work to his law school classes five nights a week.

another tender mercy: shane's sister, kayla, ASKED if we'd be okay with her coming out for a few months to watch christian for us. she needed a break from school and her life out west. talk about perfect timing. and christian just LOVES his aunt kayla.
