This summer has been very busy for us!
Jeff is starting a new job with Richland School District One as a plumber. This is great news for us as he will no longer have to work late at night or weekends. He will be off at 3PM each day and be off for all of the traditional school holidays!
Holly is hitting the Terrible Twos hard! I can't help but to laugh at her little behind, though. She was recently asking me for something and Nana suggested she wait until after supper. Holly very clearly said, "No, Nana, I'm talking to my MAMA." I should have given her a swat for that but instead I laughed. You just can't take life too seriously when you have three kids. I'd love to be the perfect mom with perfect kids but that's just not ever going to be our reality so I laugh sometimes when I shouldn't and just try to live in the millions of little moments God gives us.
Jack just turned a year old in June and is wearing 18-24 month clothing. He's a little haus like his sister was. He crawling all over the place but still not walking. He loves to throw balls and flip his little arms out to try and catch them too. Bless his heart, he goes to sleep at 7PM on the dot every night and sleeps till morning. As Mom loves to say, he's such a gooooood baby.
Maddi just wrapped up cheerleading camp, swimming lessons (though she can swim like a fish), vacation bible school and will soon be enrolling in gymnastics again. Her mom keeps her busy, which is good, I suppose, because Maddi is very social. She is best buds with two little girls in our neighborhood - Katie Brice and Logan. She is very protective of her little brother and sister and sneaks kisses when no one is looking - she's still got to be cool, you know!
I'm good too.... my job is terrific and keeps me going sometimes. It's a wonderful outlet for me to grow and stretch and learn. I have a new rule for myself as a go forward in life - I will never work for anyone ever again that does not have children and a family. I am blessed with two supervisors who talk about their kids as much as I think of mine. We work hard but when it's quitting time, everyone's out the door to be with what's important to us. I feel like I've finally struck a balance and it's good!

Another thing that we all find funny about Holly is her name for her Granddad. Dad has always said that he wanted to just be called "Granddad".... not PeePaw or PooPoo or any other cutsie name, just Granddad. Holly, who has beautiful enunciation and an extended vocabulary, chooses to call her granddad "Ginga" (GEEN-ga). She can clearly say the word granddad but when you point and ask who he is, the answer is always the same.... Ginga!
