It has been such a very long time since I blogged. If anybody is still wondering how we are doing, here is a brief update. My sister, the travelling nurse, decided to travel out this way last October. After being here for a few weeks she decided that she wanted to stay!!!! She landed a permanent job in the ICU of the University Medical Center. We are having so much fun together. Shortly after the first of the year, her son and his family followed her. It is so wonderful having some of my family here. The children love their aunt and cousins.
The kids continue to grow very quickly. Ninamarie will be 4 next week. Elijah and Matthew will turn 5 and 6 shortly after. Jonmark is the most active little boy I have ever met. He climbs everything!!!! and received his first stitches from falling last week. He hit his head when he fell off the roof of their play house. Thankfully, he didn't do to much damage to his head.
We are going through kindergarden with both the older boys right now and they are enjoying it. Elijah is picking up the concepts very quickly and Matthew is already starting to read simple words on his own.
Sadly, Billy and Leanna have decided to get divorced after only 2 years of marriage. However, both are totally committed to parenting their Travis together. Bill is there to put him to bed with Leanna every night, missing only when he was in bed with the flu. I get to see the baby every few weeks or so. Leanna is still part of our family and we include her in all our family get togethers.
Ali and Lee are still in San Diego. She is expecting their first child in the fall. Lee will be leaving for Spain mid-March and will return just in time for the baby's arrival. They could use your prayers concerning the pregnancy and their separation. Joe and I will be taking the kids to visit her at the end of March to celebrate her 21st birthday.
That's about it. My days are busy with the children so not much time to be on the computer. I will try to post some pictures soon.
I think of you all and read your blogs via the digest when I check my e-mail. It is always a blessing to me to know how you all are doing. much love and blessings to you all, Kate
Ahhhh, Kate, it was so weird, I was just thinking of how it has been SOOOO long since I last heard from you that I checked my blog to see if you were still posting and thinking maybe I just wasn't getting the posts and there you were, you had just posted. It was good to here of your family, but so sorry to hear about Billy and Leanna, and congrats on the new grand baby coming. OOOOh, its just good to hear from you again.
@toeveryseason - You are so very sweet. I love hearing about everybody's families too. I just get so overwhelmed with the kids that I forget to blog and then there is so much to blog about. I'm gonna try to be more consistent. Thanks for thinking of me. Love you much....
