Back to blogging!!

Ok everyone, I am back to blogging after a nearly 4 month stretch of nothingness. That is what 3 kids 4 and under, a full time job, busy husband, and a house to take care of will do to a person!! Work is going great, I love my job. I hate the idea of working, I would much rather be at home with the girls, but God has a plan for me to be right where I am for now.

Jim started his own landscaping and lawn mowing business called Lawn Masters and it is really taking off. Jim prayed for God to lead him during this drought in the housing market and this is the direction He lead him. And, God has totally blessed his business, he gets more accounts everyday!! We are praising God for his provision during the difficult time in our lives, for those of you who don't know we have 5 houses on the market that have not sold in over a year due to the sudden collapse of the housing market. Good timing huh!?!?

The girls are wonderful and growing like weeds. Em and Serenity start preschool at the end of August and are very excited about it!! Maddie is talking a ton and is developing into this little girl, man time flies!! I will upload some pics of the girls tomorrow morning.

My brother Jim and his wife Sam just had their first baby, a little girl named Amy Lynn!! Isn't she beautiful!!!

I am so excited for them, what a fun journey parenthood is!!

Speaking of that fun journey, my girls are out of bed for the 10th time tonight so I better find out what the emergency is this time :) I will try to keep up my blog from now on, but no promises :) Happy blogging!

Easter Weekend

I hope you all had a blessed Easter weekend, remembering the great sacrifice our Lord made for us!! Praise God for the empty tomb!! Here are some cute pics of the girls with some baby bunnies and all dolled up for church yesterday. Enjoy!

Saying Goodbye!

I know, it has only been a week, but we had to say good-bye to our new puppy Lola. She was a sweet dog, but had some aggressive tendencies that were a little too much for our little ones. So, in the best interest of everyone, Lola has a new home with 2 other black labs and 5 acres of fenced land to run on! She will be much happier there, we just had no place for her to let out all of that puppy energy.

My New Job!!

Well, it's official!! I start my new job on Monday. I will be a labor and delivery nurse at a local hospital and I am very excited about it. I am not thrilled about leaving the girls 3 days a week, but it is with Jim, so that is a blessing. I will be working 12 hour shifts and will begin working nights in a couple of months. God has blessed me with this job and has confirmed over and over that this is His will!!! So, I may start blogging less :) HAHAHHAHHAHHA!!! I am not sure anyone could blog less!!! I will try to at least update pictures of the girls every now and then. Goodnight for now!!

Our new addition!!

Meet Lola!! She joined our family on Feb.11th. We are thrilled to have her as a part of our family. She is a 1 year old black lab with a sweet personality, although I must say, having a young dog is much like raising another kid, BUSY!!! But, they are all worth it!!

Finger Painting!!

I was going to make up for lost time and catch you all up, but instead I decided to start today (or I may never get started!!!) Here in Maddie finger painting, good thing those paints are non-toxic!!!
