Lately...

Well, let's see how it has been going with me... caoticness, sadness, confusion, and then even some loving moments.. wow, crazy huh?? :)
We finally have all of what Carlee needs to start Kind. on thurs. She has decided she wants me to take her the first day (let's hope I don't walk out sobbing) and then she thinks she will be ready to ride the bus with Julian. He will help her get to her class that way. He is such a great big brother! And she loves him so much even though they argue alot. They play together so much and they fight so much. Definately a normal brother-sister relationship. And then they ask to have slumber parties every night where Carlee can sleep in his room on the bottom bunk. They love it. And believe it or not Julian asks more than she does! It is so cute, and I figure I might as well let them while they are young enough to do that and they want to. And Gavin loves him so much too. They love on eachother all the time. It is so cute! I love this. And I know Julian does too. We are still working on the idea of his mom wanting to change the schedule. He has told us multiple times he likes the schedule it is, and we think it is the best for a split family situation. At least for our split family. So please pray for his mom and for all of us to keep that open mind and do what is best for him.

Then I got to talk to my father in law a little more. And share my feelings and a little bit of my childhood and why I am like I am. It was great. I got to share that I love him and his wife. And it feels great to know that they love me too. Considering I am not really that close to my own dad in many ways.. For those of you who know me well enough I am SO open to being close to people. I really enjoy peoples company and showing them I care. But it is also nice being cared for as well. I think that we all need eachother and we were put on the earth by God to help one another and be there for eachother. For all of you who read this, know that you have a special place in my heart! :) (and you probably all know I am a sappy person as well). I remember growing up praying for God to give me a "soft heart" and never to let my heart harden and to be helpful when I can. I think he has answered that prayer!

Let's see what else is going on..
Our friend Chris is coming to town at the end of Aug. to do our family pics in the park. I am excited. We will see how Gavin does. He hates to sit still as most of you know. And he hates his pic taken.. please pray for us. :) I hope we get at least one good one. Plus our last family pic Aaron and I were both 30 pounds heavier. It will be nice to get a new one. :)

Oh, yes.. and Julian starts football today. I love Football and Baseball. And he is so good at both.

And I am still working on my relationship with God. I know that I need to pray more. I long to be a Great mom, a Great Wife, and a great person. And I know I need God to help me achieve all of those things.
Well, that is all for now. I need to get going...
