It really has been quite a long time since I have posted. I'm not sure if I even remember all that we have been doing but I know this summer went by way too fast. We have enjoyed our family and fun trips so much.
One main thing that happened is that Jonny changed jobs. Since he will be starting college, he decided to go back to installing flooring. It will work better around his school schedule plus get him ready for more physical work when he starts into electrical work in a year or 2 down the road. He is back to working for a company he was working for before we left for CA a couple years ago. It is now back under good ownership and is a good and viable company to work for again. So far the work is coming in and it already pays better than what he was doing. This is a good change for him and for our family and we look forward to more changes in the future.
We also went on a big family vacation with my family to McCall, ID. We drove home on my birthday. It was unplaseant to say the least but we had so much fun in ID. We went fishing a little, went on 2 hikes, rode our bikes around town, swam in the swimming pool at the condo's and played a LOT of Nintendo Wii. That our newest "toy." Of course it went over well with the kids as they kept busy playing Ma*rio Ka*rt. :-)
This week started a whole new chapter in my stay at home mom life. My eldest son, Josiah, started preschool this week. It was hard for me to let him go, I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself. But it amazed me how quickly I filled that time with playing with Jacob and cleaning house. Of course Josiah is taking school in stride, just like most of the things in his life, it's another new adventure that he will soon master. I think he is making new friends and I think his favorite thing so far is that he has new kids to play with. I'm sure all too soon I will be posting fun new stories of school-time adventures and field trips.
Until we meet again... and when I can get back to my computer to write about our crazy life... much love and blessings to you all.

It's so hard to let the little one's go; even harder when they start school. Memories start to flood on when they were just babes,you blink and they are in school. When Hannah started Kindergarten, I couldn't even walk her to school; Ryan had to b/c I was already crying my eyes out. It was a little easier with Rachel, though at that point, it is your youngest leaving the nest. It gets a little easier over time. I've found that being excited for them outweighs being sad for you. I have to admit that when we leave them with my folks during the summer, I cry for the first few minutes after we leave. Stay strong, mama; he is in good hands. I love ya lots!
