Just an update

It's amazing how so much can happen in a short amount of time, and yet keeping up with the blog seems to get missed.

There has been so much that has happened since the last post, but I will just update you on a few things.

May was a very busy month for us. As mentioned in the last post, we spent pretty much the first week of May in Florida. Then it was my mom's birthday, the high school graduation, open houses, helping with the planning of a baby shower and a wedding, and along the way, being a wife and a mommy.

I get the opportunity to help out with a wedding of one of our teens that graduated from the academy here and then graduated from bible college. It will be a lot of fun. She is a very sweet girl, and we are very happy for her.

I am also helping to plan a baby shower for one of my friends from the church. This is actually their third child (all boys), but the first one she has had while a member of the church. We are also sad as they will be moving out east in July. Her husband does the same kind of accounting work that Brian does, and he accepted a position with a company out east, as he will also be starting some seminary classwork as well. We will miss them, but we are glad to see how the Lord has worked in their family.

On our front, Brian will be starting a new job later in June. It is really neat to see how the Lord has provided different opportunities for Brian's career over the years and how his path has grown, and we are excited about this opportunity. Brian has had the opportunity to do what he does at a couple of companies, but this position will allow him to really tie in all his experiences into one chair. It is a smaller, newer company, and Brian is really excited. He will not only be doing his reporting duties, but he will also be able to help with establishing policies, creating procedures, and getting to play an integral part of a growing organization.

Jackson will be four years old in less than six weeks! I have a very hard time believing that! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing him home from the hospital, and now he is all grown up, trying to sound like an adult, and providing much entertainment in our house. His favorite thing in the world right now is baseball. He could play it for hours. Brian already doesn't like pitching to him, as he has been beaned several times by Jackson's hits. Yes, he is not even 4 and hits live pitching! Brian even started to pitch to him overhand last week (soft pitching of course) and Jackson hits the pitching pretty much the length of our backyard. Pretty soon he will not be able to play back there.

Jefferson is 19 months old now, and is really going to be the one to keep us on our toes! He gets into everything, has very little fear, and just keeps going back for more. He is also starting to say words. He talks up a storm, but as Brian says, most of his talking sounds like Klingon (which is an odd statement, since neither of us watch Star Trek at all), but he can say mommy, dada, hot dog, puppy, etc. He is so much fun to watch as he tries to keep up with his big brother. He is JT's shadow. If Jackson does it, Jefferson does not want to be left out. We are so glad for both of our boys health.

Well, no pictures or anything, but I just wanted to give you a brief recap of our lives.
