I cant believe we have been here in Etown for 8 weeks.. is doesn't seem that long and it seems like we have been here forever.
I am working at a local vets office.. Its a great work environment and time will only tell if its a permanent job.. The grooming dept needs to be expanded to be functional, and they do have plans to do so.
I still have this strong desire to be home.. And I also know we need to be business owners.. So my plan was to buy a professional sports team and sit back and enjoy. ;) Now to decide which team LOL
The kids are growing so fast.. Urijah is a little bull dozer.. he has t hat walking thing down a is at it full force.. Olivia is the ham of hams and is a 2 year old genius.. Zachary is doing excellent with his potty training.. he is even teaching Olivia.. Thanks Zach! Isaac is, well, Isaac.. my evil dictator LOL.. He never had terrible two's.. so he's trying out the terrible 5's. We have decided this week to take a new approach with him.. So he is officially one of the "older boys" He may be little in size but in his head he is a big kid. Abigail is still the princess. Olivia wants no part of that role with the exception of painted toenails and a pretty in her hair.. Abigail has made a few friends we hope to spend more time with this summer.. Its good to finally have girls her age around.. Quinten is doing great at scouts. His leader says he's the best behaved kid and loves every minute of scouts. Jacob gave his testimony last week at church.. I was so proud.. he kept saying he wanted to go up, then would say he was scared.. I'd tell him everyone is nervous the first few times.. In the last few min he got up and spoke.. I am proud and sad at how grown up he is.. 10 years goes by real fast.
Joe is working a few nights at McD's.. He likes it and they like him.. it was hard at first dealing with the kids, but they have all adjusted to it and now apologize when they say something inappropriate.. Some are now asking his advice.. So this has not only become a part time job but a missionary experience as well.
I will add a few pics later..
Yes, the kids ARE growing fast-too fast!! You notice it more when you don't see them! It's hard being a grandma from so far away. Life is too short! Did you get my phone home thing yet??? Love ya!
