It's Official...

I am a blog slacker. One post a month? Ridiculous. I'll try to be better from now on.

Brandon has a new job. Praise God! He'll be traveling quite a bit. Currently he is in Oklahoma for 3 days. Last year, I probably would have been leery of frequent travel. Now, I just wave goodbye and thank God for the paycheck that comes along with it. Also helping me accept him hopping on an airplane every now and then is the fact that his part-time job is over. Brandon worked at a local grocery store for the past 3 months - every single night and weekend. While I am very grateful to have a husband who is willing to work 2 jobs to support his family, I've been a single mom lately. I believe it was God's way of preparing me for a job that required my husband to travel. Now I can certainly handle a few days here and there.

To celebrate Brandon's first weekend home in quite a while, we took M&E to the farm to go fishing. I'm not much for touching worms or fish, so I let Daddy run the show while I stayed behind the camera.

It is also official that as of a month ago, Eli is potty trained! He had been waking up dry for a while and after making him wear the same pull-up over and over for 3 weeks (we're on a budget here), I finally decided it was time to throw it out. He threw a fit when I suggested he wear one of Madeline's pink princess pull-ups so I let him wear underwear... and we haven't looked back. Miss Madeline naps in underwear but still wakes up with a wet pull-up every morning. We're getting close!
