Summer Time

Where does the time go?? It's been another month since I've posted!! Yikes! We have been one busy family lately!! Egan is finally finished with Soccer, though I'm sad that it's done! And to answer the question that is on your mind, NO, I will not be coaching again...assistant coach...possibly...we'll see. Milo has taken great fondness to soccer also and Dan and I decided to sign him up in the fall and Egan too! Milo has to do everything Egan and Jonathon do! It's pretty funny to watch him try to be a big boy too!
I've been working a little more lately too.....Dan has been in charge of picking up the boys, where ever they may be on a given day! They have been going to St. Al's childcare 2 days a week and my (crazy but awesome) mom and dad have been taking them the other 2 days a week! It's nice for Jonathon too then he has someone to play with! And it saves on our pocketbook too! Which is my favorite thing!
The kiddo's went to VBS at St. Al's last week...even Milo could go too! He was VERY excited about it...on MOnday.....Tuesday- Friday the fondness had worn off and he became quite shy! Though once he was there, he was fine.....Friday though, he decided to hang with him mama and memaw, which was great! Then they sang songs on Sunday at church! They did an amazing job! They pick those songs and motions up SOOO quickly too!! Sometimes though, being at St. Al's reminds me so much of Alana.....envisioning her up there this year brought tears to my eyes! She would be going into 6th grade in the fall...can you believe that? I truly cannot even imagine it! I look at Jono and can't believe what an awesome little boy he is today and can't help but think how proud his mommy and sissy would be right now!! Sometimes my heart is heavy......
Well I sent my resume out to Catholic Central HS this week! It was in the bulletin at St. Al's on sunday that they are hiring an assistant attendance secretary....(can you see me in this position...giving kid's a hard time about being late?? hehehe). Anyway, I decided to be pro active about my work situation, since it really hasn't improved to much. We'll see what happens but I'm keeping my eyes open for something else! I really like my job but the problem is, I really don't know what my job description is.....receptionist...office manager, babysitter...(ok, I know it's not that but....) My point is, I really don't have a job description and it's starting to wear on me after 3 years of just kinda biding my time and 'floating'. I also have no time off....paid that is. And truthfully, this is probably my biggest pet peeve. Add in the other things I found out this week, and it leaves me in a discontent sort of state. (Natalie helped me come up with that word, and it seems to fit most appropriately!)...So there you have it.....my work life in a nut shell.....
I'm confident that God will lead me into the right direction whether that is to stay and be satisfied with where I am or opening a new door for me!
Ok, so enough about me (though no guarantees there won't be more about ME later...lol!)...I have a few prayer requests......First off, Marcy (my cousin's wife) just finished her 5th round of Chemo and had a PET scan done recently and guess what......She is cancer free at this point in time!!! How awesome is that!! What a miracle! The plan is to still continue with the rest of Chemo but I am sure it's a HUGE sigh of relief for her and Kevin.....so, please continue to keep them in your prayers. Also, my friend Helen, lost her father about a month ago.....and her grandfather just passed away this past week! Please pray for her and her family! This is a rough time for them! Thirdly, my friend Alicia's husband did somthing to his heel/achille's tendon on tuesday and needed surgery yesterday. he's doing well but it's his right foot so he isn't supposed to drive and will be laid up for about 4-6 weeks or so then a walking boot for a bit too....so, pray that Alicia won't lose her mind with everything else they have on their plate. They seem to be taking it all in stride and know that God is faithful, but it is still a rough time for them as well!
Lastly, EGAN picked up Jonathon's 2 wheeler yesterday and just started to ride it!!! YAHOO!!!! He can officially ride a 2 wheeler!! So, he'll be getting a new bike in a short little while! And of course Milo wants to ride too....so Dan got Egan's OLD little bike with training wheels on it and he's off too!!! They are growing up sooo fast!!!!
Love to all!
