It's been a while...busy, busy, busy! Much has happened in our beautiful family. Our baby turned 2, but that little peanut has stayed at 21 lbs since last Sept, just getting longer. She has gone from 5 teeth to 7 teeth...another slow progression. We have another 'pumkin' that turned 11. Now my girls have defined 'pre-teen, tween, and teen.' As they fought because the 11 yr old wanted to be 'classified' as anything with 'teen' in it and my 13 yr old wants her to be far from being a teen like her; they decided they'd define it. So they say tween is after 10, so 11 is tween, pre-teen is before 13, so she's not a pre-teen yet. Ahhh...these "ptweens" are a hand full ;o) but I love 'em.
"The Babies" which are our 6 and 5 yr olds, have been their same old selves, we call them our old married couple, one minute they fight, the next they are inseparable. They will be 7 and 6 in July. They were always called "The Babies" since they were so close and they were the babies and it's stuck.
I started working p/t as a nurses aide and have quickly realized I am too busy for this. So it is coming to a quick end as I realize our priority is our kids first. I also plan on going back to school and with homeschooling the kids and all their activities...there's just no time.
Carlos was waiting to hear if he'd be laid off at work and he was not - we were grateful. Even though I must say, we just kept trusting whatever happened, God was in control. So instead they have given him overtime hours and he's been so busy.
We went to a homeschool convention a few weeks ago and were so blessed by many of the speakers, one being the Maxwell Family. They are such an example of God's grace. We've been trying to focus more on our family and practicing what we learned there...it's been great. God really used that to draw us closer to Him.
So we continue to be grateful for all of our blessings...God has been and continues to be so good to our family.
