Just Getting Started

I am still trying to figure out this whole blogging thing. I have been reading others blogs for quite some time and just now making my first post. My wish or dream for this blog is to have an entry every other week so that family may be able to see the children grow and what is going on in our lives. At first, I thought an entry every week but that may be a little too much for this working mom of three; so I will settle with every other week. I am hoping to keep family informed especially those out of state and also clear my head of what is going on in my life. Please do not be offended by anything that is said here; it is a way for me to release something that cannot be said out loud sometimes.

So for 1st Post:

We are in the middle of soccer season; Autumn and Peyton are doing wonderful. Olivia is dying to play; she is still too young to play according to the YMCA. Olivia cheers her brother and sister on with great enthusiasm from the sidelines. I am helping coach Autumn's team again. It has been a pleasure to do so, when Autumn is not mad at me for coaching her or not coaching her enough (she can't make up her mind). Coach Spencer (Autumn's main coach) does an excellent job in relating God to the kids. I love watching them play and grow with their skills through the season. I am hoping to post some pictures soon of soccer so far this season.

Chris, my husband, was offered a job last week and he was to start today. That didn't happen. :( His contact there has not been available to talk to him to get everything set up. I say found another job! And find it fast! We are drowning with only me working two jobs. Or is it just me drowning?

I thank God for all the blessings that we have and we continue to get blessed. We could be without a home, without working cars, without a complete meal to put on the table, or without family to help us through; but we have all that and are very thankful and try to teach the children to do the same.

We look forward to Easter coming up soon! I have been trying to emphasize with Peyton that Easter is not about a bunny but about Jesus dying for our sins and being resurrected. He has such a big heart for learning about Christ.
