Little update
Sorry to disappear again. :) Life’s been busy lately. My sister Annie is visiting again this summer which has been fun but definitely adds a little more complexity to life. That and the fact that school is out – which is exciting because my children can all play together, yet daunting. Let me put it this way – days that I stay on top of things and guide them with activity ideas (Jonathan loves to play school) work out really well, but days that I try to do something of my own and tell them to do something of their own (say, clean their bedrooms) don’t. So it takes a little more thought and time. And along with that I’ve been trying to plan out a trip out west. We’ll be visiting with family for basically the whole month of July (Bryan will join us for the last week). I’m very excited. :)
I’ve also had quite a few role changes – I’ve been putting together a monthly newsletter for my MOMS Club group for the past two years and have volunteered as secretary for nearly a year now but come July I’ll be relinquishing both of those responsibilities and taking on the role of treasurer. As I love budgeting and numbers, this seems like a good fit. But the bigger change is in my calling – last Sunday I was released from my calling as ward music chairman and was called as nursery leader. I’ll miss my old calling but I’m pretty excited for this new one. And I have plenty of work ahead of me as it looks like we’ll need to split the nursery into two in the next month or so. At least I can say my first Sunday as an official nursery leader (as opposed to crying-Kathryn’s mom) went really well. And it helped that Bryan taught the lesson – he’s really good at teaching in a way that catches the children’s attention. I think they all loved seeing him crouch down to be “small, small, small” like a baby and then slowly move up to be “tall, tall, tall” like a tree… um… adult. :)
Anyway, there’s my excuse list for disappearing from this blog. :) And shockingly enough, it was an update on me, not my children. Those are coming soon. :)
Cassia and Bryan, you are such great people (and parents) It makes me proud! Love, Gramma
