Crazy Times!

Well, it would just figure that right when I start getting a little extra time only working 2 days a week for my mom, that she decides that she needs to go and break a leg! Okay, not really her leg, but her ankle!! She broke it in 3 spots and had to have surgery the next day. She is supposed to be off of her foot for 3 months! Yikes! You know what that means, right? No more free time! Yep- I have been helping her out at the school since she is not able to get around much. I am actually surprised at how well she is doing. But, she is still in a wheelchair and not very accessible when needed quickly with a child at school. So, Kayla and I will continue to keep the place nailed down and the kids working. Mom is there MOST of the time now, and still works with each of the children everyday, so that is nice. I try to get a day off here and there to get a break and keep up with other things going on. So, I will try to keep this updated.

But, for the news..... Let's see- well the biggest news for our family is that we will be adding to our family in March 09! Yep- we don't know until next month if that new addition will be a new brother or sister...... so stay tuned! Donny is currently going through ground school/simulator training for his new plane. They took away the plane that he was flying and putting him in the 400. Good news is.... he will be Seattle based again, so he will be home more often- which will be great! We miss him so much when he is gone. Samantha is doing well in school. She just got her hair cut short- it is such a good look for her. I will get pictures on here as soon as I can. Jacob- cute but challenging at the same time. I thought we had him potty trained! But, as soon as you have a thought like that, something always goes wrong..... he still needs a little help once in a while- and sometimes- it's too late! UGH! What a lot of work. The goal is to get him completely on his own before baby #3 arrives. We can do it!!!!

Hmmm..... I think that is all for now. Like I said, I will try to get some pictures on here soon of everyone- except me! Ha! No prego pictures allowed! Until next time! ADIOS!
