Home again, Home again Jiggity Jig...

We finally made it! Yes, we have officially moved back to California, Sacramento to be exact. We arrived the beginning of September and it has been a whirlwind of activities since. We moved into our house (I'll post pictures soon), enrolled the kids in school, went to church, applied for a job, and have been quite busy with a smattering of other "things". You know the saying, "Hit the ground with your feet running"? Yes, that's us, no time to waste. Everything will eventually fall into place and then it will be Christmas! Yikes!! Ha!

To sum the school thing up briefly, Elle and Ashley go to the elementary school right around the corner from our house. They both love it and their teachers. Levi and Myles are doing a sort of hybrid school schedule where they go to a location two days a week and are home the other three. It is nice and so far, they seem to like it. For them, school is not something they love but rather they tolerate because they have no other choice.

Church, well of course, we are at The Rock Church. It is nice to be home and see so many new faces (and of course all our dear friends). That is an indication of growth and revival. We are so excited to see and be a part of what God is doing here in Sacramento and surrounding areas.

Now a little run down on the "job". I applied for a para-educator position in the Elk Grove School District. This is just a foot in the door to help me in the future. It would be a part-time position during the hours my kids are in school. My goal is to continue on to my BA and this would help with experience. So, we'll see, I should know something in a week or so. God will open the door if that is where He wants me.


I will try to post pictures in the next day or so...till then, have a blessed day!

Life in the Real World!

Let me preface everything I am about to say by saying, I have the most wonderful, intelligent, beautiful, talented children ever created! (now I've lost you because your thinking, she's wrong, I do, your right, you do too!) So why is it that they can also be the complete opposite(at times)? Why do I have to tell the same child everyday to not bring a blanket to the table. I tell them "Please get dressed before you come eat." Apparently, it is much easier to wrap oneself in a blanket and then have to fish your hands out to eat! Why does my child who can remember things from infancy(seems that way anyhow) have to be reminded every morning to "Please brush your teeth"? Why does my child, who can't stand for anyone to touch their belongings, think it is ok for them to get into my purse everyday and chew my gum, use my chapstick, and eat any mints that might be left from the previous days' rampage? How is it that my child, who thinks the world is their ca

An anniversary, a birthday and a birth defect??

You are probably wondering what that is all about. Right?? Well, on Wednesday, Ashley came running into the house crying, not screaming, just crying. She had tripped over Zoey's (our dog) leash and scraped her arm. Not a big deal, no blood. However, on closer examination, I noticed a lump on her elbow, as if her arm was out of socket. Strange, I never noticed that before and she wasn't screaming out in pain. So, being the worrisome mom that I am, I called the doctor. Of course they said bring her in. So off to Kaiser we go, first to be seen by a doctor(who wasn't even going to do an x-ray until I persisted), then to Radiology for x-rays, back to the same doctor who was surprised there was actually a reason to do the x-ray. She then told me that her radius was not in the right place and it could be the result of an injury prior to that day or from birth(which would be considered a birth defect). She told me she was going to send a referral to Orthopedics. Great, maybe someon

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig!!!

We arrived home late Sunday night after what seemed like a year away from home. (Actually it was a little over three weeks.) We left on the 7th of August at about 4 pm and drove to Grants Pass. We stayed the night there, getting up the next morning and continuing on to Portland. We got to Portland about 3pm, spent the evening hanging out at my brother's house and getting ready for the next day. Saturday the 9th, we celebrated my littlest nephew, Judah Milo Carlson's first birthday. His actual birthday is the 14th but for sake of family and friends we had the party that Saturday. My brother's church family came and then some of his family and some of my sister in laws family came. We bar-b-qued and played games, but mostly just talked. Then the next day was church. We went to church with them, they go to the Gleason's church in Oregon City. They are very sweet people. I love Sis. Gleason, she always has the kindest words to say. OK, continuing on, Monday was just a play
