Update

Not too much new stuff to report on us we are just staying extremely busy. It seems that we always have something new going on. Chris is back in school trying to finish his MBA so he is school two nights a week so it is just me and the girls tonight. As they sit staring aimlessly at the TV watching Spongebob I thought I would take a few moments to update the blog because if I watch another Spongebob episode I might go crazy. Last time I wrote I told about Katie's big accomplishment on starting to go to bed by herself. We are now on week 4 and she has been going strong each night she goes to bed, we read a few books and then we go out and she goes off to sleep. Still sleeping all night long. Chris and I are so proud of her and love the fact that we have our nights back and to say the least we are getting more sleep because she is not getting up at all to come and get us in the middle of the night. Katie is still taking her dance class each Saturday and is doing great. She follows instructions really well and all those little girls look so cute trying to follow a little routine to a Hannah Montana song. She has her first recital at the end of October so we are looking forward to that. Bree is still doing great, she is all over the place now and has become my little climber. It seems every time I turn around she has climbed up on something and I have to go and get her down. She thinks it is so funny. Every time I tell her no she just laughs. I think I will have my hands full with her when it comes to discipline.



Let's see what else, oh yeah we have become really involved in the church we have joined not to long ago. Chris and I have been working with the youth group. He helps teach 11th grade boys on Sunday mornings and I have been teaching the 9th and 10th grade girls on Sunday nights. We have really enjoyed getting back involved with the youth again. They have such a good group of kids that it is a lot of fun spending time with them. We have also made some realy good friends at the church. Chris and I are truely seeing God's purpose for being in Ok. Speaking of God's purpose I have really felt lately that He has wanted me to do something with children. It has just been something that has been on my heart for awhile and so I finally took some action. I contacted our local hospital and asked about volunteering in the Children's Hospital. I met with the volunteer director today and I will be volunterring one night a week working with babies or the kids at the hospital. I am really excited to see what God has in store for me by doing this. I am not sure what will happen with this but when it is God's plan you never know.



I think that is just about it, like I said we have been staying busy but I think that I wouldn't have it any other way, well sometimes I think I would have a different way when I am loosing my mind.
