The Obstacle Is The Way

I haven't had the pleasure of reading this book, but it was recommended to me by a friend going through similar struggles. He had left his job to pursue a great opportunity that turned out to be a scam. And so has been without a job for a few months now.

We ended 2014 and started 2015 in the same situation and as you've read in our previous post our little girl got hurt, and Rebekah has been stressed out from work. So we've faced some obstacles, but nothing that has prevented us from picking ourselves up and move forward. We have a lot of you prayer for our family and offering us help. Thank you all.

For our family night activity last week we decorated Naomi's cast! 

Anthony colored this one

Veronica colored this one

And in order to spend more daddy daughter time with Veronica I got myself a set of color pencils to color with her.

As a way to get fit Julio, Rebekah, Anthony and a ton of our friends compete every week to see who will get the most steps using our Fitbits. It's tons of fun and challenging.

Rebekah and I have also signed up for the Rex Lee 5k coming in March.

Naomi's Leg Broke

On Tuesday, January 6th our little toddler was taken to urgent care where we found out that her tibia was broken. It happened when she was in day care and we're not sure how it happened. We think a kid might have fallen or stepped on her leg, but it happened during lunch time.

She's a brave girl and she's doing just fine two days later we went to the orthopedic to have her cast put on.

Once it was on she got a little sad about her toes and foot.

Just thinking about life

We ended the week on a high note. By Saturday Naomi was crawling all over the place and having fun. We had a movie night (afternoon) watched The Boxtrolls and ate a ton of junk food.

Also danced around with Veronica and taught her some ballet.

Another thing that Veronica loves doing is arts and crafts. She took an old sock she found and turned it into a puppet.

Rebekah's been a bit stressed out and I've been doing my best to calm her down. Not sure what she get's stressed out about so much. But I love her and she's doing good.

I on the other hand have been doing really well. I had two job interviews this week. One with Connor Group for the Social Media Manager position and Clearlink for their Digital Marketer position. I also got an email to be interviewed at HireEducation for their Creative Producer position this upcoming Monday. All jobs that I know I could knock out of the park and that I know I would enjoy doing.

On another note. My brother and I have been competing all week with our Fitbit wearables. They're basically awesome fitness trackers that get you motivated. He won the weekday challenge, but I'm sure I'll be beating him on the weekend challenge.
