Gah…nearly 3 months since I’ve posted anything here!  So sorry…

Quick update on all of us:

D is now a licensed real estate agent.  If you know of anyone moving to central NC, please get in touch with him!  He got his first referral today and we are praying hard that something comes from it.

I am now in school, taking my first class this summer in pursuit of my nursing degree.  I’m registered for 2 more this fall, so I’m really doing this!  I’m doing very well in my class, so it’s given me the confidence to know that I can do it.

J finished kindergarten and won the top honor for his class, the citizenship award.  We are so very proud of him!  He’s reading on a 2nd grade level (or higher…the test only measured up to 2nd grade) and is just as smart as we always knew he was.  He starts first grade on July 20 and is very excited about it.

C just turned 3.  He’s funny and adorable and has more than a little bit of the devil in him.  On a daily basis, he frustrates me to the point of madness, makes me laugh until I cry, and amazes me as I watch him grow up right in front of me.  I’m homeschooling him for preschool this year since we can’t afford to send him to one and he is so excited about doing “school” just like his big brother.

V will be 6 months old in about 2 weeks, and I can’t believe how fast she’s growing!  We had her baptized in Knoxville last month at the church where we got married and where we had the boys baptized.  It was nice to introduce her to everyone!  As usual, she delighted everyone with her charming personality and sweet nature!

We’ve now survived over a year with no steady income.  It has been scary, but we’re very proud of ourselves for lasting this long.  Hopefully D’s business picks up quickly and we can dig ourselves out of this hole we’ve been sitting in soon.  Your prayers and good thoughts are appreciated as always!
