It's Busy Around Here

Everyone's lives are busy, but I think this has been one of the hardest schedules to maintain during this semester! We are using one car...and don't have any conflicts with that, but having Mark and I working at the same time during my week on and then having Valerie and Ethan both in sports have made it next to impossible. My mom and dad have been a blessing helping us shuffle the kids here and there and make sure at times they have snacks to eat or drink. We appreciate them so much and are grateful they are so flexible. During the past month we have been racing to track meets, tennis meets, dealing with the passing of a friends brother, sneaking up to Seattle for a awesome concert and an over night stay at Pan America, starting and ending classes, taking Leadership classes, visiting Reptile Conventions, enjoying lots of birthday party fun, visiting with a family friend for a few nights, and getting ready for garden planting. We were just talking this morning how we will be so glad to have the kids out of school for the summer, and then by the end of summer we will be so glad to have them back in a structured environment again. In the end we are grateful for what we have, our babies, and our busy lives!
