The buzz....

* A few weeks ago I said I was praying for some things and waiting for God's timing. Well I can share one thing that He has answered. Starting in the fall I am going to be working at the preschool up at church (Lord's Little Army or LLA). I'm really excited about this! I will be working in the infant nursery and the one year old room. It's 3 days a week for 4 hours a day, and Kaitlyn gets to attend for free. So she is super excited to get to go to school and be in the 4 yr-old class. I still get all day Monday and Friday with Kaitlyn while the boys are at school. The plan is for me to keep on watching Ellie on Mondays and during school breaks. I'm excited- it will be a change in routine; get me out of the house more; and be around a lot of wonderful, Christian women.

* I can't believe school is almost out. Only 3 more weeks! Then we will have a 2nd grader and a 1st grader!!

* A boy from Ethan's class at school lives just down the road from us. I've met his parents before on field trips and at class parties. Ethan and Sean are down at his house playing right now. This is the first time we've had a friend live down the road from us that they can go play at their house and they can come play at ours. We are hoping to really get to know his parents and have opportunities to witness to them. They are really nice people.

* So Jarod broke his hand. Most people know this b/c of facebook. He has 3 more weeks in a cast then he can get it off. B/c of his cast he hasn't been able to play the piano or guitar which he does a lot when leading worship. I think it's been teaching him to rely on others to help out b/c he can't do some of the normal things that he usually does. His cast is black and we got a silver marker for people to sign it. I put a big heart with J + L in it. Heee hee.

* We went to Jarod's parents last weekend to help them work cattle. We like to go do that b/c it helps them get it done, and we get to be with them for the weekend. It was soo muddy this time. Jarod got his cast dirty from the mud and other brown substance. This is how he covered his hand the second day we worked:
The kids had a great time! The got to come down and "help" the second day when the cows were in the pins. Ethan and Sean got in there with the flags and helped to keep the babies back. When I took this picture I told them to give me their work faces:



* I love my family! I am so thankful for my amazing husband and my incredible kids!!
