Hello Everyone, wow, time can really fly. Just wanted to update news and a few pics. As our title says life continues to be an adventure. I am loving being mommy and wife. It is so much fun watching two amazing boys grow up. Alex will be starting preschool this fall and is really excited about it. He loves doing gymnastics, playing with his Thomas trains, and trying to keep his younger brother in line. Callum is into balls, anything musical, and trying to be the most annoying little brother possible. He is looking forward to his two year birthday at the end of July. They do have their precious moments though. Our backyard isn't completely landscaped yet and there is still quite a bit of dirt, which turns into mud (the boys love!!) and once it dries it cracks and becomes dirt clods. Well, the other day the boys spent an hour at "work" with their hard hats on pulling up the dirt. Very Cute.
I'm staying busy watching a couple of neighbor girls this summer and doing the household stuff. I loved substitute teaching last year and hope to start doing that again in the fall. My family has been so wonderful helping out watching the boys here and there while I teach. I think that it does us all a bit of good.
One of the highlights so far this year was a mini-vacation to Florida. Callum flew for the first time and added airport and airplane to his vocabulary. Also bridge, beach, sand, and waves. We went to visit Sarah and JJ in Clearwater and everywhere you go, you go over bridges. The boys loved seeing the boats and playing on the beach. We even got a sand castle together before Callum came and knocked it down. Tom tried some deep water fishing but was a little disappointed with his two twelve inch fish. There were a couple of other people that caught bigger fish...but it just wasn't the right time for the "big one." It was so wonderful to relax for a few days on the beautiful beach and it was really good to visit with Sarah and JJ again.
I hope this post finds you all well. Our biggest issue right now is Tom finding a job again. He has really liked working for FracTech, but corporate decided that the Greeley office wasn't making enough money, so they are shutting it down. They offered to transfer him to Pennsylvania, but the offer wasn't very good. Thankfully, he has been able to stick around and help close the office, but we are trusting God for a job opening up soon.
Hopefully it won't take seven months for me to repost. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
