We are still alive

This is the first time I have logged into this blog since my last post, can you believe that??

So, I knew my new life was not going to be a walk in the park..... but I have had a few hurdles and surprises that I didn't plan for and am still getting my feet wet in finding a schedule that works for everyone.

Our home has been busten at the seams with activity since I last posted. Jordan has started basketball with the panther home school team out of San Marcos and really enjoys the team. Were looking forward to his first tourney in November. Cory has been training to become a C.A.S.A. volunteer as a court appointed special advocate to children placed in state custody while going through custody issues. Jaxson still wakes up and goes to bed everyday talking about these imaginary baseball, basketball, football etc. teams he is on. And princess Jacie has now turned the big "6".

We have received a contract on our home and are beginning to box things up. As we began to look for a new place to live, God once again is bringing us to a place we never thought we would be. Through several events we are being led to move to the Caldwell County area. We have some friends who have just purchased a large plantation home there and are restoring it to be used as part of their pastoral ministry. We will be staying with them for a season. We are being led to possibly purchase a older home and restor it however there are many details we are still seeking His clarity on.

School is going good. I'm not gonna lie, it's a BIG adjustment for Jordan and even for me and my classes. Jacie is the only one who seems to be Johnny on the spot, home school is all she has ever known. They are in their 9th week of classes and both doing well. Jacie is even doing some reading already, I'm so encouraged by her drive and excitement. She enjoys her school work so much and I love that. With my attention being spread so thin I haven't had the chance to work with Jax as much and he has lost some intrest in school work. But I did find some workbooks that have balls as the objects to learn from and that made all the difference. Now he is counting and sorting balls like crazy on his handouts.

I hope to add some pictures soon, and really hope to be more regular with posting. Hope everyone is having a wonderful fall and enjoying the rain.

Love to all
Us

Night out at the ball game

The kids counted down the day's for over two weeks. We were excited when the day came for us to see the Astros. Everyone enjoyed themselves, but no one more than Jaxson. He was in awe at the huge stadium. He loved every minute of it, his eyes were glued to the field the entire night.

Jordan's eyes were glued somewhere other than the field "wink wink" most of the night. Poor guy, dado and dad were ruthless with egging him on about the two cute girls sitting below us.

It was a great night!

Hello everyone

Life didn't give us much of a break as I transitioned from one job to the other. My last day at Grande it rained that evening and we moved a surprise birthday party for our friend Kristi over to our home. It was a great time with friends and she was so surprised, we also celebrated the news that she is Cancer free!!!

From there, the kids and I have had our schedule packed. Pool every day, crafts, books, princess play dates and most coveted time of the day....... fixing dinner.

We have had so much going on that sometimes Jax has a hard time making it to the bed before drifting in to never never land.
