Im still here!! I’ve been thinking about blogging…meaning to do it….but not finding the time. So, just a quick one today. We have been super busy with cubscouts lately. The big blue & gold banquet is tomorrow and a lot of planning goes into that for the pack. As far as our den, we have been practicing our skit and preparing our flag and placemats for our family. Unfortunately, Jack won’t be able to make it, it will just be me & the kids (minus Brendan, who would not make it through a 3hr meeting–in fact, Im not sure Hannah will be still during it!) Yesterday we had a den meeting at the park across from our house. Mr. Dillon-one of the dads- taught the boys how to fold a flag. He is so patient with the boys.
I’m not sure if I posted already – but We found a new church that the whole family loves! Although we miss Northland terribly, the drive was wearing on us, and the church has grown SO much that the kids programs were getting out of hand! The kids were getting “lost” in the big groups. I still visit pastor Joel’s blog and follow him in the news as well. We will be visiting them when we can. It really pulls on my heartstrings…. pastor Joel, as busy as he is, and as big as his congregation is, he visited us in the hospital when I was waiting to deliver Emma. He was on vacation, writing a book actually, when he and his wife stopped by. That really touched my heart! The new church we are attending has an awesome childrens program. The kids are enjoying it very much. And, there are many different adult small groups, bible studies, and sports. And, the pastor, is enthusiastic and on fire for the Lord!
Coast2Coast is heading into it’s busy season. Good for business, difficult for mom. 2 little ones and a phone ringing non-stop is not easy to juggle. We are blessed that we have been able to stay afloat during this economic disaster. So, I can’t complain. I just need to do some rearranging with our schedules and even my “office”.
Clara’s 1st bday is fast approaching. My best friend MB did an awesome job AGAIN with her 1st bday photos. http://www.northstarphotos.com/blog/?p=612 
I can’t believe my baby will be 1. Time flies when your having fun. Clara really enjoyed her cake and her photo session. We still have lots of planning to do.
Jack is doing awesome in his new class. (he moved to the 3rd grade gifted class, from the 2nd grade gifted class, due to class size). The new teacher is challenging him, and he loves it. I really wish I could remember the spelling words he brought home to study last night. Some of them were so difficult-I had to look them up myself! Jack is improving a lot with his handwriting too. The new teacher is strict with handwriting, so he has no choice!!!
Im off to try and catch up with laundry… a difficult task for me! I’d rather do 20 sinks full of dishes than fold laundry!!
