Giving in

I am finally giving in to the fact that it is now Fall. Up until this week it was in the 80s and I have loved it. The last two days have been rainy and kinda nice. It has been a great September and start of October. I am looking forward now to more canning, apple cider, pumpkin bread, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin candles, corn mazes, hay rides and all the colors. This is my favorite time of year and I am glad it is here.

Will started school (at home) and has been doing well. He is loving his reading program and is already reading a few little books. He is very proud. It has actually been a lot easier than I anticipated and we are able to get done with our work before noon. The funny thing is that I feel like I have more time in my day with us doing school than I did before we were doing this.

Tobi is getting big and now flips over all the time. It is fun to see him figure out new things although the whole flipping things wakes him up now. That part isn't as fun. I can't believe he is almost 6 months.! We go to the ophthalmologist tomorrow because his pediatrician thinks he might have a slight lazy eye. I just hope there isn't more poking and testing, he has been through so much. He is such a good baby. We went the other weekend on the women's retreat from church and he did so well. It was fun to go and meet many more women in our church.



We also started a small group earlier in September and it is a perfect fit for us. I love getting to know more families and to have a group that is in our lives. Will loves the kids too. I am thankful that we found a church home and even though it took us many years, we finally have it. I am being challenged and growing and loving it.

Matt wend backpacking last weekend with his buddy Tim and they had a great time. They of course went into the Sawtooths, which is such a bummer. haha... I was jealous. They caught some great fish too. On the way out Matt did something to his knee and has been gimping around. He says it was worth it.




I am LOVING being home with my boys teaching and playing. I am however taking the plunge and going back to birth. I am easing in. I will be on call for two days this month and then five days a month after that. =) We will see how it goes. I am anxious about it and excited too. Right now anxious because I don't want to leave my baby. He is still needy. Aren't they always? Which I don't mind but makes it hard to think about leaving him even if it is for a bit. I am resting in the fact that if God wants this in our lives then it will work out and I don't have to worry about it. For now it will be nice to be back in birth and to make a little extra money. Wow, this will be the first time I will be getting paid to attend birth. hmmm, that is nice. =)
