So many things - so little time

Ok - I know I know. I promised to be better and I am still trying. If you want to see pictures right now look me up on facebook. I will journal here and add pics later.

Ok - since we were together last -

Liam on the 6th of July asked Jesus into his heart. He has been asking questions for quite some time and expressing that desire, but we were so unsure since he is only 5. We allowed him to pray with us on the 6th and then sat on it for about 3 weeks to make sure he was sincere, understanding and ready. For further confirmation we went to see Bro. Andy on July 23 and we then decided that he was in fact sincere and understanding what he had done and the celebration has been ever since! This is what we have prayed for and are truly worshiping the Lord that He broght Liam to His heart!

After that emotional Sunday we were off that following Tuesday for Florida.

Yep family vacation with driving 2 days and a week at the beach. It was awesome and not nearly as difficult as I imagined. We were able to stop several times and saw some interesting things. I love road trips!!!! Mike does to so that makes us a perfect match don't you think! Florida was wonderful. We got a 1 bedroom condo so the boys slept on the pull out couch and Mike and I had our own room. That was wonderful for those nights that I did not want to go to sleep at 9pm but the boys were exhausted. We did so many things. Played in the sand, swam, rode go carts, ripley's believe it or not, gulf world (kinda like sea world - much smaller) etc. We even stopped in New Orleans on the way home for a taste of the World Aquarium and some wonderful steak at Ruths Cris - sp? Yes you read correctly - it was my birthday and the kids went as well - would not do it again, but you live and learn! While in Florida we did get to hang out with Steve and Lori and sweet Brodyman. It was so much fun and I think the adults had as much fun if not more than the kids - Thanks guys for a wonderful time - it made our whole vacation to get to see you all. Miss ya!

After vacation we have started gearing up for the fall. Mike goes back to his crazy schedule and we go into school mode. We purchased school supplies, bought back to school shoes, went to MEet the teacher and have had our first day of school. Liam is loving it and I am getting used to it. I did make it out of the building the first day before the water works began and I have not cried since. Today we came home with our first fund raiser. Man those schools do not waste any time. I guess that is just the way it is.

Noah is adjusting well - he asks where Liam is when I pick him up first and I tell him - in school - lets go get him. We are all adjusting. Mike has even gotten up early the last two mornings and cooked breakfast for us all! Way to go my man!!!!!!

As for me - I am not on 8-2 days and I love that there is a deadline to make me leave. It makes me more efficient and I have more time with my boys. It does make for a smaller paycheck, but in the grant scheme of things - no sacrifice!!!

Mike and I are getting away for the weekend to Denver this weekend - don't worry - the convention leaves tomorrow - so that should be a blast. Mom and Dad are keeping the kids and have already planned a full schedule of FUN! Thank's guys.

Well - that is the long and the short of it for the last month. I will try and get regular now that I have the bulk of the catching up done. I will add pics as I have time!
