Update

                                                  Oh how Brigham longs to be outside

                                           Elise is the happiest baby.  She always has a smile.

The worlds most beautiful children.

This post is a quick update for my dear friend Lissa who I never get a chance to talk to anymore but who holds a special place in my heart.  

John and I have REALLY been pushing to get out of debt (we have been going without a lot of things and always looking for ways to cut back) we are so close in part because I have started working from home M-F at 6AM until 10AM.  It is a pretty good job and the kids enjoy the extra playtime with Dad.  

Elise is the happiest baby.  She always has a half smile just waiting for someone to look at her so she can give them a big grin, when I check in on her at night she will be sleeping with her eyes closed and a huge grin on her face, I love it.  

Brigham is super smart and very helpful.  He loves being outside.  He likes to explore the neighborhood and lovse to play soccer and basketball.  He will one day be a football quarterback, I know this because he is very good at telling you were he wants you to stand when playing catch with the football.

John is in the process of starting a small side business for some extra money.  He is still the sweetest husband and best dad.  I really don't know how I lucked out.  John is the 11 yr old scout leader assistant, I love that the most he is gone is for 1 hour each week.  I just hope this isn't the calm before the storm because this has been my favorite calling for John to have since we got married.

 I am a volunteer for the Center for Women and Children In Crisis.  I recently collected donations for the fundraiser we held 2 weeks ago.  I have started to plan next years and am glad to have a year to plan, 1 week is just to difficult.  I love helping out the center because they do so much great work and provide wonderful services to those in need of them in our community.  I was called to teach the 3 yr olds in primary and I love it.  What a great calling, I go there teach a short lesson, have a snack and do an activity and the kids leave happy.  

I think that is it for now.  I hope you enjoy the photos, I know I do.
