Just thought I'd post a quick update. The kids and I are now with my parents. Michael goes to sign this Saturday, and will leave within a few days of that. He took advantage of his days off around the New Year to bring us here and get us settled.
Right now the kids and I are trying to get settled into a new routine of going to school with Grammy (my mom) every day. She teaches at her church's Christian school, so we're tagging along! My schedule is filling up fast. I've already joined the choir and orchestra (didn't really have a choice about that one since my brother is the music director - lol!! - but I would have joined even if he wasn't!) . :) Also, I'm teaching the high school girls' P.E. class this semester! That is something new for me, but I'm super excited about it. I'm also temporarily working 10 hrs. a week for a friend of mine who has a home daycare. In addition to that, I'll be working probably one morning a week for yet ANOTHER friend of mine who has a home daycare! Needless to say, I just got myself a planner book so I can keep track of everything! I'm afraid I'm going to forget something w/all that's going on!
Jared is getting back into the swing of things with his home-schooling, and doing great. He gets to go to Bible class with "Uncle Mike" (my best friend Bethany's husband), then he does his A Beka videos for the rest of the school day. He also gets to take recess and snack breaks with the elementary class, which he is loving!
Laynie is doing great - just kind of tagging along wherever I go for the most part! She is talking more and more, and just says THE cutest things! I love it when they're this age and they have their cute little baby voices!
Michael is working hard, and we're trying to talk as often as possible. Obviously, when he leaves for boot camp, we won't be able to talk at all, pretty much. (I've heard there's a possibility of a couple of short phone calls towards the end of boot camp, but I'm not counting on anything at this point!) So we're trying to get in as many phone calls as possible! He talks to the kids several times a day as well. They sure do miss him!
Well, I'd better stop for now - I need to get to bed! 5:30 sure does come early! I hope all is well with everyone, and I'll try to keep this updated as much as possible!

Wow! I didn't realize so much was going on for you and your family. I don't know how you do it! (Both living with your parents and losing your hubby for a few months! -) )
Praying for you in this new stage in your life.
