Life

It has been a couple of months since I have written. I just keep waiting till I get pictures on the computer and I seem to have misplaced the cord. What a shocker. So I decided to write anyway. It has been a busy couple of months. Todd took command a couple of months ago and so I decided I could be the FRG leader. I new it would be busy and crazy and hectic but I am getting the hang of it. I bought a planner. I don't know how I would survive without it! I have had training classes, meetings and am currently trying to get a list of everyone in the company. Lots of paperwork. We had one FRG meeting and our second one is in two weeks. Quite a few volunteers have taken most of the leadership roles so it is fun working with them. I also think it is fun because I get to work with Todd. He doesn't really like it because I talk about the FRG (which is work for him) at home and now he gives me a time limit that I can talk FRG when he is home. There is a lot to do. We have some fun activities and some fundraisers planned for the next couple of months. My goal is to make sure that every spouse had a good experience with the FRG.
School started. Katie is in first grade. She was so excited to go back. She is doing good in school and has spelling tests this year. I was pretty shocked at some of her spelling words. Like this week her four hardest words are seasons, animal, flower, and enough. Enough is her challenge word. So I now work with her throughout the week to help her learn the words she has a hard time with. Billy is at preschool again but this year he gets to go four days a week for three hours. I enjoy Fridays now because that is the day he doesn't go so I don't have to rush in the morning with trying to get everyone ready and the baby fed. Ellie has decided she doesn't like to eat right away in the morning. There are too many things going on and she doesn't want to miss them. Which makes my morning easier. She sleeps from 8 to around 5am when I feed her and she goes back to sleep. It is nice! Johnny is Johnny. He is two and I think that explains everything!
We have made some new friends in the neighborhood. Caleb is four and his grandma Theresa watches him and so we hang out at least once a week. She watched Ellie this morning while I took Johnny to the dentist. Then There is Emma and Ellie. Yep another Ellie. Emma is 4 and Ellie is 2. Emma just loves Katie. We have the only other girls on the block. So we have been having a good summer.
I started reading two new authors. One is Anne Perry. She writes murder type mysteries and Robert Jordan who has a series of books. I have only finished one as I am looking for the second one in the set. Reading with 4 kids isn't easy so it takes me a while to finish a book. I am so tired by the end of the day I only get a few pages read before I can't keep my eyes opened.
