Well today is Father's Day and I don't think Heath's day has started off all that great. Woke up to find that we have no satellite....which we knew would be happening just didn't expected it today of all days - oh well. The good news is that all the kids are home with us which is all Heath wanted for Father's Day so that is a plus.
Been a while so lets see if I can catch everything up:
Trace spent a week in Arkansas with Heath's mom and had a blast - so much so that I didn't hear from him some days. He is already talking about next year's trip. (She goes every year - we all went last year but we didn't have the money to make the trip as a family this year so just Trace went) Trace has a few more baseball games to play (they are making up rainout games this year b/c they will effect the standings - last year we didn't have to make up any games). Trace will be going to Merit summer camp in two weeks and he will be in the space class and he is so excited about that.
Canon got to go back to daycare one day last week and he was so happy. His teacher said it took his daddy a whole two weeks to undo what it took them a whole two years to accomplish...lol. She said she had some issues with him telling her No and hitting. I told her that we were having the same issues at home but the older boys play rough with him and he doesn't think anything about hitting them and starting a "war" to get them to play with him so.....good news is that I think we have figured out a way to get him back in daycare for 3 days a week - he needs it so bad. He was not whiny or fussy or anything that night when he got home. He finally had people his own age to play with and he was happy. He has also figured out that he loves to swim. He will jump off the diving board and the sides of the pool and he loves it. Give him his life jacket and away he goes - he doesn't like floaties at all. He also got to go to Geyser Falls for the first time last week and he loves that also. He will definately be included on more waterpark trips b/c he had so much fun and wasn't afraid of anything.
Michael is still with us and he is waiting on the call to go to work for real. In the mean time he is mowing grass to make money. He has cut several yards and seems to be very happy here. His youth group from the coast is coming to Smithville in July to do VBS and I think he is wanting to go do that with them - I had a great emailing back and forth with a lady that was heading it up for his church - it is so nice to hear awesome praise about your children coming from other people. She said some pretty nice things and she feels the same way about things that Heath and I do so that is a plus to know that we do have an ally of sorts in his life on the coast.
Nicholas arrived back home yesterday and so far he seems happy to be here. I dont' think he did very much while he was back on the coast but according to him he never does. I really don't have much to say about him b/c he just got back. Next time I am sure I will have more comments.
Life is still hard and life is still a struggle everyday but the Lord is lighting our path and we are following his footsteps. One day maybe all will be easy but honestly I don't see it happening. Heath and I have had some rough days lately but I think we have smoothed things over and seem to be doing better. He is still looking for a full time job and the bonding stuff seems to be picking up - Monroe County anyway - still hasn't done anything in Lowndes County but......
That's my life and this is just another day.....looking forward to my time with the New Journey Babies today at church......
