For some stupid reason Photobucket is messing with my pictures. Once they resize and i post them they aren't being posted as the resized picture. So my pictures are huge and wont resize. Such. A. HEADACHE!
So for now, if you want to see pics just click on the thumbnail and you'll be able to see the bigger.
Just a quick update on us:
This week has been really insane in alot of aspects.
Our life seems to be getting busier and busier all the time.
We are getting ready to have some special pictures taken of Klaire and our family this weekend. So im trying to get ready for that so they turn out the way im hoping they will.
Kreg is plugging away at school. I can't tell you how proud of him i am!
He's really taken this on whole hog and kicking butt while doing it. Ive seen a HUGE difference between home going back this time and the 3 previous attempts he's made. He's not even been late once! He makes me proud to be married to him.
He's determined to get through it and do what he has to do to advance at his job. He informed his boss about school and he was totally supportive of it and willing to help him in any way he can.
I think one of my proudest moments yet has been seeing him push everything in his life aside and take an hour a day to study. He's making the time and really trying hard, regardless of his stress levels and lack of sleep.
There's alot in his life right now that's motivating him to excel and to do his best so he can change some things for the better.
Him going to school requires alot out of the 3 of us.
We have to pull together and get through each day. We average about 2 hours a day together, sometimes if we are lucky its more. But we've really had to get used to not having him here again. It kinda feels like he's back at the airlines.lol
But the sacrifices now are worth the benefits down the road.
Klaire is growing. She's so freaking tall these days!
Over the summer she has really developed quite a personality.lol Shes into all kinds of music, she loves country, bluegrass, folk, while still loving to jam out to some of Kreg's favorite bands. When songs come on the radio she sings right along with them and even belts out her own tunes, which aren't half bad.lol She can identify lots of artists as well.
Whenever she gets bored we are finding her to have a book in her hands. We've seen her grow by leaps and bounds with her reading this past year, shes doing awesome!
She's had some tough days this summer, she really misses school and her friends. Being a one and only can be tough some days. Her one and only cousin whom she closely relates to has moved away and that was hard for Klaire.
She thrives being around other kids she sees regularly. Shes surrounded by adults in her life and shes super aware of that recently.
I have a friend who has 2 girls about her age and we are going to the movies with them once a week. We are doing a splash pad day together with them as well. And Klaire is loving the time she spends with them! So that's helped her with missing school.
Kreg and Klaire have really enjoyed playing Rugby together this year. They went to a Rugby game recently and they both had such a great time!
Otherwise, shes still my bright eyed sweet girl.
As for me nothing much is new.
I have a new calling at church. At first i absolutely hated it. But now that im set apart for it my heart has really changed and i think its one of the best callings ive ever had! I feel like im serving others but not putting my family on the back burner by doing it. Ive taught myself some new computer programs and designing things because of this calling. So far im really enjoying it all!
Im also in the midst of planning for Klaire's Baptism. We are super excited for it! 8 years ago we were holding our small baby thinking about her baptism and
now its here. I cant believe how time has flown.
I have a few things to tie up within the next month and then everything will be set for the baptism.
Im kinda nervous about it all, i feel like we have prepared her as much as we can, but i still worry.
Other than that we are doing as well as we can be. Just taking one day at a time.
Here in the next week or two i think we are going to be spending some major amounts of time in the woods. Im thinking its time for us to go up and spend some time refocusing on each other and Klaire.
And lastly, our garden has been growing TONS! Our tomato plants are nearly as tall as i am. Our eggplant has survived a little critter nibbling on it, our green beans have yet to produce but have climbed up the side of our house. Our corn has a few ears on it already, our cukes are getting huge, our strawberries have given us alot of sweet treats, and our melons are well on their way to invading our patio.lol
