Catching Up

There has been a lag in blog posts here since May. A huge part of that is because our life as a family has been teetering on crazy for well over 2 years now. That all kind of hit a head this summer and we were just trying to keep up with life.

We have made some decisions about our life as a family that have taken place this August. I have decided to leave Mission Year and work part time with FCS Community Economic Development. This allows me to stay home 2-3 days a week with Sam and Maya. It also means that one of us will not always be working which has seemed to be the case over the last two years. We are hoping that this will free us up to enjoy our family a lot more instead of just passing each other by so much of the time.

One by product of this switch is some added time for me at home to keep up the blog and other things that will help us remember our time with our kids. I will be trying to piece together our summer over the next few weeks.

It was a wonderful summer for us, even though it was quite hectic at times. We were blessed with two additions to our household and were so thankful they were here. Caty and Meroe brought a lot of joy, happiness, and laughter to our house this summer. The volunteered with our church summer camp and lived with us. We also got a chance to spend some time at the beach, in Texas, with Shawn and Shelva, and Mom Mom and Grandpa Ed this summer. It was great to have so much family time in such a short amount of time. We watched Maya transition from a walking baby into a toddler from June-August. It has been a remarkable transition that is a joy to watch happen right in front of our eyes.

We hope to have picture highlights up from the summer sometime soon!
