To the new

A few new things happening around here:

Lucas lost tooth #2 to a set of vice grips courtesy of Jeff (on purpose, the tooth needed to come out); also growing his molars in the back.

Lea lost her first 'eye' tooth - still questioning if that was supposed to come out, but it did and we hope something grows in it's place.

Survived 2 rounds of this bizarre flu going around. 

Jeff received a job offer and accepted it. Talked to his supervisor to give notice and was informed he was on a short list of people to be 'let go'.....whew, all in the Lord's timing right. We've been through that before. 

#1 - offered to leave in lay-offs, job was killing our family, no job lined up, took 9 weeks to get a job

#2 - let go and no job lined up, took 3 weeks

#3 - job first, then leave....(I like this plan a lot better) :)

I think we needed the stressful situations to help us prepare and keep us humble. We've been blessed to find employment so quickly each time.

Found a guy who can keep our cars running without draining our bank account. sweeeeeeet!!

New callings - Jeff is teaching the 12-14 year olds Sunday School class.

I'm the Relief Society Secretary and back up for when the Primary needs one too. Which I LOVE!

Oh we're going to Paris and London, my parents are coming to watch the kids. Romance is in the air.

We're spending more time outside - it's beautiful here this time of year! Love Arizona winters!!

Trying to be more involved and saying yes more than no to my kids. I'm a firm believer in the word no, but sometimes (alot of the times) yes is what needs to be said before I squash all the fun out of them. 

We had the 'talk' with Lea the other night. Not how I envisioned it going - mostly because it was 9 pm and in our kitchen, but it works. Was hoping to have a special night out for her, but she asked about sex, so we answered. For probably an hour.

life is moving right along.
