Busy, busy, busy!

I have been so busy lately. I think about all the things in my head that are piling up and I just can't seem to get caught up on anything these days. Ever since we got home from Haiti it has been one thing after the other for us.

I'm in my second semester of school and I'm getting so excited at the thought of becoming a nurse and also to finish up my first degree that has been on hold since 2000. I will be done with my bachelors next semester! Wahoo!

The Lord has really blessed our family. It's been nice to have this time of peace. We have been through a lot of up and downs and really difficult life experiences but things have been going very well. It almost makes me feel like it's the calm before the storm but that is just my negativity speaking. God is really good and I know He wants us to enjoy His blessings. So, I am. :)

Well, Reagan turned 11 last month (more pics later) and Bailey turned 9. I'm so amazed at how quickly everything happens but then I say that at every birthday. They are both doing great in public school and have really enjoyed their teachers and friends there. It is just around the corner from our house so they walk to and from school and that it really nice.

Drew just started pre-school and she LOVES it! Today when I picked her up she said, "today was the best day ever!" She was hysterically laughing on the playground while these two twin boys were pulling her in a wagon. So cute!

We are really enjoying our kids at this age, things have gotten easier for all of us and it's nice to just hang as a family.

We have tried to make Friday nights "Family Movie Night". We are in the middle of the Harry Potter series. It's a lot of fun and we all look forward to it.

Sean is loving his job, I know he is right where God wants him and it is a blessing to watch him grow and see his gifts being used. He is such a blessing in my life and I'm lucky to have him.

I can't wait to share all about my time in Haiti. It changed me forever. I could go on and on, but I will save that for another post.

For now, here are a few highlights that I don't want to forget!

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE!

Sean's sister Connie and her family drove from Ohio for their vacation and made a pit stop here with us for a few days. We of course had to take them to San Fran and this is the famous Lombard Street.

Ghirardelli Square, yummy!

Bailey turned 9!

This year we just celebrated both kids birthdays as a family. We had such a fun time and didn't break the bank. It was lovely.

Our little Monkey!
