I have been quite remiss in posting to the site…so, here is an update.
The girls have 5 more days of school, and both are anxiously awaiting the start of summer vacation!
I am out of school and currently looking for a job. I had an interview a few weeks ago, but they still haven’t made a decision. I have another interview next week.

The boys are just boys. The other day, Levi was chasing Jada around the driveway with a frog. She was screaming…typical brother/sister stuff….Bill thought it was hilarious. Jonah likes playing in the mud and dirt. He, like Jada, is a fan of rocks. He is always carrying one around.
Bill is busy trying to keep up with all these kids! He has watched them a few times so I could go dinner with some of the teachers from school.
In a couple of weeks we are going to spend the weekend at a cabin in Indiana with some of my family. It should be a fun time!

The kids have been enjoying the nice weather recently.  They’ve also been enjoying the critters.  In the last couple of weeks or so, they’ve found and played with caterpillars, rabbits, and a frog.  Levi even got to chase Jada around with the frog which was quite amusing.  She wanted to hold it so badly, but just couldn’t force herself to.  She’d chase it around, but when the opportunity arose to grab it, she just couldn’t do it.  Lana simply concluded that frogs were disgusting and ended up not wanting any part of holding it.  At one point, even Mommy got in on the action and chased it around.  That’s on video too for those interested.

An hour or so later, Jada finally worked up the courage to hold it.  At that point, she wanted to keep it, but I talked her into letting it choose between staying and going.  By morning, it had chosen to leave.

We found some rabbits out in the yard and after spending a little time with them, they are getting used to us. This video is too cute.

I take the boys to daycare Monday through Friday.  Every day on the way to daycare, Levi says he’s going to Grammy’s house.  I don’t think he’s missed a day yet.  Sometimes he says we’re going to Miss Janet’s house, and when we leave there we’re going to Grammy’s house.  Other times, he denies that we’re going to Miss Janet’s house and says we’re going straight to Grammy’s.

The other day, he said he likes going to Grammy’s house because she always gives him hugs and kisses.  I really can’t imagine her arguing with that, so we’ll just post it here as fact.
