Yep, I'm still here!

First of all, for reasons you might guess I had to delete the last 2 blog entries. Those of you who guessed the outcome - you were correct. I need to chill a little regarding that subject because there's not a dang thing I can do about it - other than keep praying. Blake is still in Germany and doing well. Even though he turned 19 last week, I still miss him so much. It's getting close to a year since I've been able to hug him. He calls often and e-mails but it's not the same. Callie cries at least once a week because she wants her Bubba Blake to come home. She is the child that wants everyone home and together and doesn't like it when any one family member is gone - anywhere! She doesn't grasp the concept of him being an "adult" and the fact that he will never really live at home with us again. It makes me sad for her. I wonder if she will ever even remember when we all lived together as a family. She was 4 when he left so most likely not.

Moving on.....

I have been a tad busy lately! We're almost all settled in the new house. Yes, I know it's been 2 months but I had also just started a new job and coming out of my "cloud" so it has taken a while. Plus this house is just too damn big! I remember now why I told myself I would NEVER have another 2 story house. I do love the house though and it's finally starting to feel like home.

Also, in the last 2 months Cade started baseball (4-5 times a week), Callie started cheer and power tumbling (2 days a week), Ryan is umping baseball (5 days a week - thank God he drives!), and Zach is getting ready for his first year as a Jr. Camp Counselor at church camp! Did I mention things are a little crazy around here? :)
