So, what is going on with our family...

Mainly this is to answer Rachel, but to update you all as well. Brandon has just started his next MBA class. It is already proving to be a challenge, which he loves. He is utterly bored with his job, so this gives his brain a bit of a workout. I have been taking care of a 3 year old boy. It was supposed to be about 30 or so hours a week, but right after I started, the parents hours changed at work and now it is almost 50 hours a week. Big difference! But I like the extra money and he and Evan get along very well, so I am trying to adjust. They both go to preschool for 2 1/2 hours on Tue and Thur. I cherish those hours. Riley and Anna are loving school. Just today I decided to push reading more at our house. They are both great at reading, but don't read a lot. We will be trying to change that. On to the biggest news. We had a showing yesterday. It was the lady's 3rd time through. She had been here at the beginning of July, has since gone through many houses and came back to ours again this Tue. Her husband is in a wheelchair and she wasn't sure about the walkway up to our house. But her realtor told me that she has spoken with someone about how to make a ramp there and so yesterday she brought her husband here to see it. !!!! My heart has gotten a work out over the past 24 hours. If they don't submit an offer I think I will cry. Life is so crazy and stressful and joyful all at the same time right now. Half the time I don't know whether I'm going to scream or laugh. But life is good. I am so blessed. Sometimes, as I lay in bed at night trying to go to sleep, I wonder how I can possibly deserve to have all of these blessings. Whether I do or I don't, I'll still take them! ;) Pam
FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT:
Brandon takes a picture with the kids every mother's day before I wake up which stays by my bedside all year. They do several nice one's which I pick from, but they always do one silly one that just stays on the computer. Here is this years silly one for all of you to enjoy :)

Pam..that is such a cute tradition, the picture each year. Sorry life has been crazy. I understand, it's 0700 on Saturday and I'm at work while my husband and daughter play at home with our guests visiting from Michigan. Depressing I know. HOpefully your home sells soon. Do you already have one picked out to buy? Oh, what about moving into Lacey 5th. We have all the cute new homes that are really close to each other though.

Thanks for the update. I know we don't see you guys much but we think of you often.

Let me know next time you hit up the zoo. I have a pass!
